New Album Releases for Friday, November 25th

This week’s new releases include one from country music legend Garth Brooks and one from hip-pop megastar The Weeknd. Check ’em out below!

It’s Thanksgiving week, and we have a rather short list of new releases this week. At least, that aren’t holiday related. We’ll have another article for you with all the Christmas music albums your little heart could ever want, but for this week we have a few, yet mighty, to showcase.

First off, Garth Brooks has a new one. The Weeknd, too, is another huge name with a new release. Kate Bush is releasing a live album from performances in the U.K., and Young Legionnaire is finally releasing Zero Worship.
