Whether you’re looking for new tunes to pump you up for a game, or you need a Christmas gift for the music fan in your life, STACK has you covered with a roundup of November’s biggest releases.

To kick off the month, A-List artists R. Kelly, Rick Ross and Ludacris joined Tyrese for his self-released album, Open Invitation. Tyrese’s first record in five years is one of his strongest, with sure-fire R&B hits like “I’m Home” and “Stay.” For more high-octane hits, check out Ambition, a new release by Wale with adrenaline-pumping songs like the horn-heavy “Miami Nights” and danceable “Slight Work.” If you’re into rock, November offers two releases from multi-platinum artists. Check out Here and Now, the seventh record by Canadian ensemble Nickelback and Break the Spell from Daughtry, the rock group led by former American Idol finalist Chris Daughtry. Can’t go without your Lady Gaga? Crank up the new remix of “Born This Way.” Keep the electronica coming with the new Kaskade release titled Fire & Ice, featuring songs like “Ice” and “Waste Love” that will get the team ready to roll.
Finally, if you’re looking for a last-minute gift for your favorite Twilight fan, you can’t go wrong with November’s biggest music release: the soundtrack from Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 1, an album that features guest stints from Theophilus London and The Joy Formidable.
