November
Delirium – Ellie Goulding (November 6)
Ellie Goulding’s third studio album is finally coming out this November. News and speculation have been buzzing all year long about when she would release her highly anticipated follow-up to Halcyon. While her new single, “On My Mind,” takes a couple listens to really get into it, I have high hopes that Ellie’s new venture into developing her own pop sound with Delirium is as good as her past albums. – Gabrielle Bondi
Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 (November 20)
I’ve unashamedly been a huge fan of both the book series and the movie franchise. The latest trailer has me utterly hyped up for the final installment, and even though I know what’s coming, specifically who lives and who dies, I can’t wait to see it all play out on the big screen. I’ve been particularly impressed with the marketing for the film series – and yes, I know the movies are commercial rather than critical successes, but the overall casting, costumes, score and pacing are fantastic. – Hannah Atkins
The Danish Girl (November 27)
For our TYF Thanksgiving special last year, I wrote that I was thankful for Eddie Redmayne and his art, for his captivating on screen presence, for his ever-growing ability to fully become the characters he is portraying. I finished my thank you note to him with an eagerness to see his future projects, and one year later, I’ll be able to with his, what is sure to be another Oscar-nominated role as transgender woman, Lili Elbe.
In The Danish Girl, he’s given us a role that once again requires a physical transformation from him, and from the first look, it seems as though he perfectly captured the person he is portraying. Eddie Redmayne is one of my favorite actors because in every one of his roles, he fully becomes the portrait he is painting. From his fingertips grazing a dress that awakens something inside of him to his eyelashes delicately fluttering at a handsome stranger across the room, his whole body becomes the role. He is mindful of even the smallest of movements, and I can’t wait to see them come alive this November. – Alejandra Torres

25 – Adele (November TBA)
Do we really need to explain why we’re excited for the follow-up to Adele’s mega-hit album, 21? We learned a few weeks ago that Adele will be releasing her third studio album in November. The album, 25, will reportedly include collaborations with Max Martin, Danger Mouse, and Ryan Tedder. I love, love, love Adele, and I can’t be more excited to hear new music from her. – Gabrielle Bondi
