Deze week vers in de TIP 40 van Hitzound is Shawn Mendes. De Canadese popzanger heeft in de aankomende familiefilm Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile de rol binnengesleept als zingende krokodil. “The hardest part though is that when you are singing for a film instead of your own album, you really have to ace the nuances of the emotion behind every lyric and every note and match it to how the character will be portraying it on screen,” aldus Mendes over zijn rol. “That was a learning experience.” Op de soundtrack staan meer nummers van Shawn Mendes: ‘Top of the World’, ‘Carried Away’, ‘Take a Look at Us Now’ (met Bardem) en ‘Rip Up the Recipe’ (met Wu). De familiefilm gaat vanaf 7 oktober draaien in de bioscoop.
