Singer Shawn Mendes has begun production on a new album in Brazil. In late August, Mendes confirmed in an interview with Esquire that he was setting up a studio in the country to start work, describing the upcoming project as “something very special.”

By early September, Mendes was spotted in Rio de Janeiro, specifically in the São Conrado and Gávea districts, as he commenced the recording process. His presence in Brazil coincides with his relationship with Brazilian actress Bruna Marquezine, with the couple having officially confirmed their relationship in August.
