Shawn sits down with his mentor, John Mayer, to discuss his new album Why Why Why, and did a Playgirl-esque shoot with Interview Mag (minus the nudity) to accompany their latest issue:

MENDES: Absolutely. I refuse to let the industry consume me at this point. I finally realized that giving everything to music is not the best thing for my relationship with it. If I really want it to shine, I need to have other love in my life, and if I want that love to shine, I need to have music. [Laughs] I keep forgetting we’re doing an interview and I’m about to say things I probably shouldn’t, but dude, we—you know the vibes.
