Anyway other than Shawn Mendes,we've also got a David Guetta collaboration with Sia (Yes, ANOTHER one), the return of Jesse McCartney and the return of Snow Patrol.
Song: Flames
Artists; David Guetta, Sia
It's not really a surprise that Sia is collaborating with David Guetta, they have now collaborated SEVEN times in the past couple of years and I have to be honest, I have never really cared for any of their collaborations, "Titanium" might be about the best of them...I guess. There's now a new collaboration called "Flames" and I am sorry this is just drab, it's not anything all that special. This partnership needs some new ideas if you ask me cause YAWN!.

Song: Better with You
Artist: Jesse McCartney
The heartthrob every teenage girl back in the late 2000s was gushing over before Justin Bieber came along, you might remember "Beautiful Soul", that song spent 4 weeks at number 1 in 2005 and I absolutely couldn't stand that song but this time McCartney is back with an acoustic guitar song called "Better With You" that has some electronica elements to the chorus and to honest I like of like it, it suits McCartney's vocal tone and he sounds really genuine. It's alright.
Rating: 7/10
Song: Don't Give in
Artist: Snow Patrol
I have never really been strongly into Snow Patrol but I did like their past number 1 hit "Chasing Cars" and "Hands Open" was a really catchy song so I thought I'd check out the lead off single from the new album Wildness and it turns out "Don't Give In" is a kind of choppy pop rock song. It's not bad actually, it was originally supposed to be for a friend of lead singer's Gary Lightbody who was going through a hard time but it turned to be about writing Snow Patrol's fifth album! It's not a bad song at all. Nice work.

And now we come to the big one...
Song: In My Blood
Artist: Shawn Mendes
So Shawn Mendes is back with two new songs but I am only going to review in "In My Blood" here.
So "In My Blood" is the lead single from Shaun's upcoming third album and I have to say its very much leaning close to Kings of Leon with the guitars and Mendes attempts to put a growl into his voice in a song all about anxiety and you know what? Lyrically I get that as well, there are times I want to give up and throw something at the wall but can't for whatever reason. I like this song a lot for the sentiment. I think the biggest issue is that I don't really have a lot to say about it hence I held off on doing the blog entry for the one song.
