Josh Groban, 29, is releasing his long-awaited fifth studio album, Illuminations, on November 15 from Reprise Records. The album has been three years in the making, but the writing and recording came in bursts of creativity as Groban busied himself with other projects. Teaming up with veteran producer Rick Rubin, the unexpected duo created an album full of surprises. "These are my stories," says Groban, who co-wrote 11 of the 13 songs on the album and is turning it into a Swift-style confessional. "For every one of these songs, someone's going to know it's about them. I'm going to get a text message about every one! This is a very personal record."
