Justin Bieber Shares His Love For Shawn Mendes' New Album

(Radio.com) It looks as though Shawn Mendes has himself a true blue fan in fellow Canadian pop star Justin Bieber. The Biebs tweeted out a series of messages to followers earlier this week(October 5), encouraging them to buy Mendes' sophomore studio album Illuminate.

"Shawn Mendes voice makes me smile. Truly a gift to be able to move peoples emotions through songs!" Bieber wrote. "So proud of you brother! Great album!"

The good will comes after Justin appeared to shade Shawn last year when he claimed to not know who Mendes was in an interview. That riled up Mendes' fans more than it did the burgeoning pop star himself, but Bieber extended an olive branch before any kind of beef got going. He later tweeted directly at Mendes, and wrote, "Shawn I checked out the music and I'm so proud! So glad to see another boy from Canada crushin it. #canadiansdoitbetter." Read more here.
