Shawn Mendes has finally released his debut album Handwritten but he's not done yet. Today (April 17), the 16-year-old pop star released a heartbreaking new music video for his latest single, and he's giving his fans an "Aftertaste."
"Aftertaste" finds Mendes getting moody and contemplative as new love has the potential to bloom. He sings soulfully in his bedroom before going on a walk around the town. As he strolls, a mysterious beautiful girl glimpses up at him, the two making eye contact for just a moment before their time is up.
At the end, Mendes receives a mysterious letter, presumably from her... and the story will continue.
