Music Release: Shawn Mendes - In My Blood "masterfully explores moments of vulnerability."

Song Title: In My Blood

Artist: Shawn Mendes

Album: Shawn Mendes

To start the song in its most quiet and vulnerable state allows the build up of Shawn Mendes' new single In My Blood reach new heights of his pop madness discography. The first verse is brilliant with just a simple backtrack and Shawn's vocals in a talking-singing manner. The verse allows us to, rightfully so, nurture the tone of the storytelling. It also embraces the added dynamics that the pulsating beat, which kicks in eventually in the first verse, to welcome a more pop-rock influence of the song.

In My Blood is not a straight up pop tune from Shawn that the audience has loved from him. It sure didn't elevate pop music at all but it gave a different side and artistry from Shawn while it also maintains what the market has always adored with him -- his pop star stature.

In My Blood masterfully explores moments of vulnerability, feelings, resolve and imperfect emotional struggles. The single is soulful at its best. Its rock-tinged quality is a welcoming surprise. The song is emotionally driven with a radio friendly hook that reminds you of Kings of Leon's Sex on Fire or of some sort.
