Last summer the album I enjoyed most was Shawn Mendes' Illumination, particularly "There's Nothing Holding Me Back." There wasn't much I was fond of though, as a whole the summer had nothing on the previous year when Pink, Calvin Harris & Rhianna, Sia, and Adele all had songs I liked a lot.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.
Oz ,'Him'

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Shawn Mendes has a new album out this week! I mentioned him to my coworker the other day, and he was like, "Who's that?" and I said, "He's sort of like Justin Bieber, but not sleazy. Yet. And tall."
ION, I am really stunned by this - Angelique Kidjo's version of Talking Heads' album Remain in Light: [link]

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'll add that Mendes recognizes (so far) that his talents lay in pop, and (unlike Bieber) he isn't trying to be a serious R&B singer.

My French cousin has requested classic American roadtrip music for our next cross-country odyssey. So I want to put together a playlist that is at least a couple of hours. Preferably from stuff I have or can easily get from the library. Ideas for specific songs that fit that bill?

Note: Songs do not have to have "driving" as a theme, just a beat and something you could sing along to (though we won't actually be singing). Like the first thing I thought of was "New York Groove" though I suppose that does talk about driving now that I think about it.

I think my sister would kill me. I don't think we've ever recovered by my brother's electronic days.

Unsurprisingly, I already own this.
