Shawn Mendes has been working on his as yet untitled third album to follow up from 2016's 'Illuminate' and it sounds like the wait is almost over!
At the beginning of the year Shawn told fans on Twitter that he would be finishing his new album tweeting, 'Back in the studio this month to finish the album... x'.
Now, just over a month later and the singer has revealed it's coming soon in an Instagram post to his 28.7 million followers. Judging by the singer's recent Instagram posts he has been relaxing in Jamaica, so perhaps now all the hard work has been done?
Fans were quick to respond to Shawn's photo posting comments such as '😍😍' and 'I am for album come to me' sic, with another saying, 'Bring on the album!!!!! <3 <3'.
Although the singer hasn't revealed much information about the forthcoming album, last year the 'There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back' singer said, "We have like 25 songs, so ya, we have tons and I’m hoping to get another 25 at least."
That's a lot of songs!
Shawn went on to say, “It’s really hard, you find what people like and you’re like, should I do that again or should I try and come up with the better thing. It has to be somewhere in the middle.”
Check out some of the most anticipated albums of 2018 in our gallery below:

Rihanna
Remember when it was normal to expect a Rihanna album near enough every year? 'Rated R', 'Loud', 'Talk That Talk' and 'Unapologetic' were all released within 12 months of each other. However, she has been busy with Fenty beauty so we can anticipate a 2018 release to make up for lost time.

Cheryl
Former Girls Aloud star Cheryl is putting in 100% for her comeback album and has even recruited star producer Naughty Boy to produce a track (or two?). She took to her socials to share some exciting news which hinted that she was in the studio with her former band mate Nicola Roberts. Possible 2018 album? We think so!
Nick Jonas
Following his 2016 album 'Last Year Was Complicated' - a break-up album, the ex-Jonas brother has promised his new music in 2018 and a potential party album. Yes!
Selena Gomez
It's been a long time coming. The singer has released 'It Ain't Me', 'Bad Liar', 'Fetish' and 'Wolves' all in the last year and undergone a life-changing kidney transplant. Selena is in better spirits and has an album coming. She has confirmed "there is an album" and "it will be out very soon". We're rooting for you Gomez.
Ariana Grande
AG4 is in the works! The pop superstar has confirmed that she has been working on her fourth album for over a year now, and shared some exciting photos and videos that hint she might be nearly done. We're expecting nothing less but pop greatness from Ari.
Rag'n'Bone Man
He confirmed in an interview he has 10 songs ready for a second album so why wouldn't he release it this year? This would follow-up his chart-topping debut LP 'Human'.
Liam Payne
The pop artist has already released 3 major tracks, 'Strip That Down', 'Bedroom Floor' and 'Get Low' with DJ Zedd. In a recent interview he said his album is "out in January". Well, we're waiting Liam!
Little Mix
The four ladies never rest! Having dominated the Top 40 all year long with 'Glory Days', rumour has it that we should be expecting a little something on the later side of 2018. Take your time ladies, but not too long!
Rita Ora
She has four UK Number 1 hit singles but due to label conflicts, we've been waiting since 2012 for a follow up to her debut album, 'Ora'. Thankfully, now signed to Atlantic, her album is scheduled for 2018.
Rihanna

Although it's been a while since Shawn last released an album he's been incredibly busy. Not only has he been taking his 'Illuminate World Tour' on the road, last year he also released his huge hit 'There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back', which was a follow-up to his 2016 hit 'Mercy'.
In January, Shawn took the opportunity to publicly congratulate former Fifth Harmony singer, Camila Cabello, on the success of her debut album. The pair collaborated on 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' back in 2015 and Shawn was very happy for his friend's album to be so successful. He tweeted a link to Camila's album saying, 'Unbelievably proud of u @Camila_Cabello !!!!!!!! ❤️❤️'. sic
