AceShowbiz - In anticipation of his sophomore album, Shawn Mendes premiered a new song while kicking off his tour in New York over the weekend. During the show at Radio City Music Hall on Saturday night, March 5, the Canadian teen sent the crowd into a frenzy when he launched into the track called "Ruin".
Mendes performed the slow-tempo ballad live while playing his electric guitar on the dimly-lit stage. Amid fans' loud cheers, he showed off his falsetto at one point and led the crowd for a massive singalong to the line, "Do I ever cross your mind."
It's still unclear if "Ruin" is a preview of Mendes' new album, which is expected to arrive sometime this year. The singer has been constantly teasing the follow-up to last year's chart-topper "Handwritten" on Twitter, saying it would have "a bunch of electric guitar" and "all the right vibes."
There might be a cameo from John Mayer as well. Back in January, Mendes directly asked Mayer to be featured on one of his new songs. "What are the odds you cut a solo on a song of mine? Am i crazy?" he asked the "Your Body Is a Wonderland" hitmaker in a tweet.
