5 New Albums To Check Out On November 28, 2025
Tacos may rule Tuesdays, but Fridays are all about new albums. This week’s list of new releases features offerings from Billie Eilish, A$AP Ferg, Jessie J, and more. Whether you favor CDs, vinyl, or digital downloads, it is time to start making your shopping list. Here is a look at this week’s new music and five new albums that you definitely need to check out on Black Friday.
A$AP Ferg — Flip Phone Shorty: Strictly for Da Streetz Vol. 1 (Payday Records)
East Coast rapper A$AP Ferg is set to drop his fourth studio album on Friday, complete with his own artwork. The Manhattan native was fairly tight-lipped about the project until last week, when he posted a social media message with a phone number to call to hear snippets of songs from the new album. That line, (775) 942-3547, is still active for fans who want a preview.
Billie Eilish — Live EP (Interscope)
Diamond-selling pop icon Billie Eilish will release a 10″ vinyl EP as part of a special Record Store Day Black Friday event. The EP will feature live versions of songs from her Amazon Music Songline series. Side A will include “Skinny” and “Wildflower.” Side B has “Birds of a Feather” and “L’Amour de Ma Vie.” Only 20,000 copies of the EP were made, so quantities will be scarce.
Jessie J — Don’t Tease Me With a Good Time (Jessie J/D.A.P.)
English R&B/pop singer and songwriter Jessie J will release her new album “Don’t Tease Me with a Good Time” on Black Friday. It will be the award-winning Brit’s sixth studio album. The album was recorded in Los Angeles over a five-year period and will boast 16 new tracks. It will feature collaborations with Ryan Tedder, Jesse Boykins III, Los Hendrix and Marty Maro. The album covers life after loss and focuses on both grief and joy.
Kensington — First Rodeo (Universal)
Kensington‘s sixth studio album will be their first with new frontman Jason Dowd. The Dutch rockers describe their latest effort, First Rodeo, as a fresh start. The band’s sound is not expected to change despite now having an American singer at the helm. The album’s lead single, “A Moment,” is a straight-ahead anthem that has already breached the Top 20 on the Dutch charts.
The Saints — Long March Through The Jazz Age (Fire Records)
On November 28, the Saints will release their final album, Long March Through the Jazz Age. It features the final recordings with late frontman Chris Bailey in 2022, and will be released by his estate on what would have been his birthday via Fire Records. The Saints have been a force in Australian rock and roll since 1973, and this will be the band’s 15th studio album. The new album pays tribute to Bailey’s relentless curiosity, stubbornness, and sharp-tongued wit.
