Track and video available now
GRAMMY nominated multi-Platinum singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes released his new single “Summer Of Love” with Tainy via Island Records. The track is produced by multi award-winning Producer/artist Tainy and NEON16. Mendes has also released a new music video alongside the track.
The official video was shot in Majorca, Spain, directed by Matty Peacock, who previously directed Mendes’ “Wonder” video, as well as videos for Selena Gomez, Billie Eilish and Khalid, among others.
“I hope this song makes people feel free, free from the weight of life, even if just for a moment,” says Mendes. “The inspiration was getting a few months off to have a real summer with the people I love. My favorite part about creating it was getting the opportunity to work in the studio with Tainy. It was a special experience connecting with him since he’s such an incredible artist and amazing producer.”
“Working with Shawn was so easy and really organic to be honest. He is a true musician and vocalist but aside from that, the energy he brought to the studio was super genuine so creating feel good music together just flowed,” Tainy adds. “The chemistry is there and you can hear it in the music. ‘SOL (Summer Of Love)’ has a very ‘summer vibe’ feel, led by main guitars and chords so I just wanted to give it more movement and heavy bass. That paired with Shawn’s vocals made it a perfect fit.”
Most recently, Mendes teamed up with Colombian singer-songwriter, musician, and producer Camilo to release “Kesi (Remix).” Last year Mendes landed at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 with his critically acclaimed fourth studio album, Wonder. This marked his fourth consecutive No. 1 album release.
