SHAWN MENDES PREMIERES NEW VIDEO FOR HIT SINGLE “TREAT YOU BETTER”

Shawn Mendes has premiered the video for “Treat You Better,” the debut single from his highly anticipated sophomore album Illuminate, available September 23^rd on Island Records. Directed by Ryan Pallotta and filmed at a remote motel just outside of New York City, the “Treat You Better” video features Shawn as both a narrator and protagonist, telling the story of a girl stuck in a relationship gone bad while he desperately tries to find a way to get through to her and help.  Watch “Treat You Better” here: http://vevo.ly/XyVKEm 

Illuminate is available for pre-order now, and fans who pre-order the album will instantly receive “Treat You Better” as well as brand-new track “Ruin.” “Ruin” was released on Friday, and MTV declares “it sees Mendes doing things with his voice that we’ve never really heard from him before, like breaking into a grungy groan right before hitting those oh-so-smooth high notes.”

Last Friday Shawn performed “Treat You Better” and bluesy new track “Ruin,” along with 4x Platinum single “Stitches,” on Today Show's Summer Concert Series. This was the biggest concert of the series so far, with Shawn playing to a crowd of over 10,000 fans spanning 3 city blocks. Last night, Shawn performed “Treat You Better” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Shawn will kick off the North American leg of his sold-out world tour this Friday, July 15^th, in Florida, and will headline Madison Square Garden with the Illuminate Live Concert & Album Event September 10^th.  Tickets for the Madison Square Garden show will go on sale to the general publiconFridayviahttp://www.ticketmaster.com/event/3B0050DD841A0C45 .
