Mac Huff : Youth

Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate. Life-affirming. Uplifting. Ambitious. Important. Tribute. Bold. There are many adjectives to describe Canadian Shawn Mendes' and American Khalid's musical response to the horrors of gun violence and national tragedy. But amidst the noise and the accolades and powerful music video is a message that ceases to be forgotten: You can't take my youth away. Mac Huff arranges the song sure to be a watershed moment in the career and development of Mendes as a musician with something to say.
