Not much. He hasn't been able to retain his audience with his new material, the drop-off after 2019 has been consistent, and none of his output since then signifies that he's capable of shifting his approach or evolving his image. His pre-2020 output will continue to stream due to nostalgia, but I don't see it happening for him otherwise. He's becoming a legacy act before our eyes.

The pop tracks that leaked from the scrapped album prior to Shawn were promising... the guy just doesn't care anymore, unfortunately.

Revisiting SMTA... he needs to work with Teddy again and bring back the pop/ r&b sound
