Open Invitation

Open Invitation is the fifth studio album by American singer Tyrese. It was released on November 1, 2011, through his own label, Voltron Recordz, with distribution handled by EMI Music Services. His first release under Voltron following his departure from J Records, the album features production from a range of producers, including Brandon Hodge, David Banner, and Lil' Ronnie, among others. It also includes guest appearances by Rick Ross, Ludacris, T.I., Jay Rock, Big Sean, Busta Rhymes, and Faith Evans.

Critics viewed Open Invitation as a confident return for Tyrese, blending classic R&B elements with both praise for its charm and critique of its lyrical excesses. In 2012, it earned him a nomination for Best R&B Album at the 55th Grammy Awards. A commercial success, the album debuted and peaked at number nine on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 76,000 copies in its first week, making it Tyrese's second top 10 album. The album was supported by two singles, including "Stay" and "Too Easy."
