蒙德兹英文介绍
Last month, music streaming platform Spotify released a list of the most influential artists under 25. Unsurprisingly, American singer Ariana Grande, 23, and Canadian Justin Bieber, 22, were among the top five. But ahead of them, on top of the list, is fresh-faced Shawn Mendes, who started his career as an internet sensation but is trying to prove he’s a serious musician.
上个月，音乐流媒体渠道Spotify 发布了一份25岁以下最具影响力的演员名单。23岁的美国歌手爱莉安娜•格兰德以及22岁的加拿大歌手贾斯汀•比伯都毫无意外地位列榜单前五。但新面孔肖恩•蒙德兹却一举逾越了这两人，位居该榜单第一。蒙德兹一开端作为网红出道，但他却力求证明自己是个谨慎仔细的音乐人。

The 18-year-old Canadian singer from *suburban Toronto first started to build an audience in 2013 through video-sharing app Vine, where he uploaded a six-second clip of himself covering Bieber’s As Long As You Love Me.
这位18岁的加拿大歌手来自多伦多市郊。2013年，他经过视频共享使用Vine上传了一段翻唱比伯歌曲《只需你爱我就好》的6秒视频。从那时起，他便堆集起了自己的粉丝。

His strong social media presence soon brought him to the attention of the record industry and by 2014, Mendes had signed a major-label deal with Island Records. The following year saw the singer release his first studio album Handwritten.
他在交际媒体上的抢眼体现也引起了唱片职业的留意。2014年，蒙德兹与小岛唱片签署了一单大额合约。在接下来的一年中，这位歌手发布了第一张录音室专辑《手创音乐》。

The full-length album was well received, with MTV calling it “the first milestone” for Mendes’ success. Stitches, one of the title songs, has over 500 million streams on Spotify this year alone.
整张专辑都大受好评，MTV还称其为蒙德斯成功之路的“第一座里程碑“。而专辑主打歌曲之一的《缝合》仅本年一年便在Spotify 上有5亿流量。

Given his loyal fan base and the huge popularity of Stitches, it’s easy to imagine the various ways Mendes’ second album might have turned out–as a shiny pop production, for instance, or a *thumping, trendy *foray into electronic dance music.
蒙德兹忠诚的粉丝群和歌曲《缝合》的大受欢迎也令人不难想象他第二张专辑的多变曲风——耀眼的盛行高文，或是一次对电子舞曲极佳的新潮测验。

“Big record, lots of fans–the lane was wide open,” Mendes told Los Angeles Times. He briefly entertained those ideas himself, meeting with some of the industry’s most reliable hitmakers.
“销量佳、粉丝多——眼前的路途正在向我打开，”蒙德兹在承受《洛杉矶时报》采访时标明。他将这些主意暂存心中，并见了数位业界最有声望的音乐制造人。

Yet he ended up taking a different path when producing Illuminate, which was released on Sept 23.
他的新专辑《照亮》于本年9月23日发行，但是，制造这张专辑时，他终究仍是挑选了一条异乎寻常的路。

The teenager turned to respected songwriters and producers, including Tobias Jesso Jr., a fellow Canadian known for co-writing When We Were Young with Adele, and Jake Gosling, Ed Sheeran’s closest collaborator, who oversaw the British artist’s Grammy-winning Thinking Out Loud.
这位青少年曾向数位负有盛名的词曲创造人和制造人请教。比方，曾和阿黛尔合写歌曲《年少之时》的加拿大音乐人小托拜厄斯•杰索、以及艾德•希兰最密切的协作伙伴杰克•高斯林。后者曾监制了这位英国音乐人的歌曲《喃喃自语》，并助他夺下了格莱美大奖。

Recalling the demos Mendes sent him, Gosling said he could hear “an honesty and a maturity” that made it clear the singer had decided by then what he wanted to do with the record.
高斯林在蒙德兹寄给他的录音小样中，听见了“一种诚笃与老练之声”。这也标明，从那时起，这位歌手就现已决议了在这张专辑中要做的工作。

 
“The [maturity] was really coming through,” the producer said, “not only in what he was singing about but in the way he was delivering the songs.”
“这些歌曲自身以及他体现歌曲的方法，都在传达着一种真实的老练之声。”这位制造人说道。

Mendes was also satisfied with the new album more than his debut one, which was pieced together in a rush to *capitalize on his exploding internet fame.
相较于他的首张专辑，蒙德兹对这张新专辑更为满足。为了能将蒙德兹爆破式的网络热度转化为本钱，他的首张专辑不过是将歌曲匆忙凑集在一起。

“I tried my best, and that’s what I came up with,” he told the Los Angeles Times, referring to the earlier record with a note of apology in his voice.
“我极力了，那是我能做到的悉数，”他在承受《洛杉矶时报》采访时提到了从前的那张专辑，口气中带有一丝抱歉。

“I feel like this [Illuminate] was my first time really writing, my first time really singing and creating,” Mendes said. “I wanted to prove to the outside world there’s a reason I have 13 million followers.”
“我感觉《照亮》这张专辑是我自己真实初次写歌、歌唱以及创造，”蒙德兹说道。“我想要向外界证明，我的实力足以具有1300万粉丝。”
