Each week throughout the year, we select one new outstanding album to feature across our platforms as a way of celebrating music that is authentic, original and pure. In 2025, we featured dozens of exceptional albums across a variety of genres that tap into various musical traditions from different corners of the world. Every one of these albums tells a profound story in its own voice, speaking directly to the soul of those willing to listen.

Jumpin’ The Blues Allstars - Live On The Radio Vol.1

This week’s PBS Feature Album is Live On The Radio Vol.1, the exclusive album from Jumpin’ The Blues Allstars.

GODTET + The Sydney Symphony Orchestra

Mon 1 Dec 2025 to Sun 7 Dec 2025
Feature Sounds

This week’s PBS Feature Album is the self titled album from GODTET + The Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

At once bold and nuanced, this album explores the friction between improvisation and orchestration. Where the orchestra is anchored in fully composed material, GODTET remains free – navigating the work's harmonic architecture with instinct and spontaneity. Structures are fixed, but expression is fluid.
