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.
From Asian pop to dub and reggae, indigenous hip-hop to Balkan beats, African rhythms to Arabic influence, vibrant Latin flavours to folk music from across the globe, and incredible eclectic fusions from disparate cultures, PBS brings our musical world to you.
