The most acclaimed albums of 2025 make for impressively eclectic listening. Surveying them does not reveal much in the way of obvious musical trends. There's very little similarity between Rosalia's heady classical approach to pop on Lux and Lily Allen's conversational disclosures on West End Girl. You could broadly group CMAT's Euro-Country, Bon Iver's Sable, Fable and the Tubs' Cotton Crown together as alternative rock but they don't sound anything like each other.
