Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes has released two new versions of his 2016 album, Illuminate, via vinyl and streaming platforms.
Illuminate, recently certified 3x-Platinum by the RIAA, marked an important chapter in Shawn's career and featured some of his biggest songs, including "Treat You Better," "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back," "Mercy," and "Ruin."
Illuminate continues to make waves today. "Treat You Better" recently attained a 9x-Platinum RIAA certification. After attaining viral success and amassing 25-million creates on TikTok, the song has re-entered the Billboard charts 10 years after release.
Upon the announcement earlier in September, Shawn released and sold out the Blood Records limited-edition vinyl of Illuminate (10th Anniversary Edition), featuring the exclusive 2016 demo of "She'll Be The One."
The two new versions of the album were released later, each featuring a different previously unreleased demo from 2016. The DSP version features the exclusive 2016 demo of "Cold in California" and the D2C edition, available on Shawn's store, includes the exclusive 2016 demo of "What If I Told You A Story."
All three versions include three new live performances of "Treat You Better," "Ruin," and "Mercy," recorded in New York, Boston, and Montreal on Shawn's sold out 2025 tour On The Road Again.
