Sharing an album with the world is an artist’s way of immortalizing a fragment of their life. Though virality can propel music to the mainstream, releasing an album is a profound accomplishment that can have a deep and laying impact. Albums are more than an encapsulation of a musician’s lived and learned experiences: they’re a way to cherish them forever.

The Recording Academy is proud to present the 2025 GRAMMYs nominees for Album Of The Year, honoring both artistic and technical skill of the highest degree in music. The Category is notably dominated by women this season, while several entries see established artists tapping into new genres and sonic arenas. 

Check out the nominees below and read the full 2025 GRAMMYs nominations list ahead of Music's Biggest Night on Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025. 

André 3000 — 'New Blue Sun'

André 3000 might be best known for his role in Outkast, but recently, the Atlanta rapper has been busy carving out a new reputation as André the flutist.

In the years following Outkast’s split in 2007, André 3000 has been spotted wandering everywhere from LAX to Japan with his flute in tow. Now, the opening track of his first-ever solo album amusingly calls out his genre switch: "I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a ‘Rap’ Album but This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time."

To record improvisations that eventually birthed New Blue Sun, the flutist worked with producer Carlos Niño, keyboardist Surya Botofasina, and guitarist Nate Mercereau to craft a surreal, textured soundscape. Throughout, André 3000 plays the contrabass flute, Maya flute, wood and bamboo flutes, and more wind instruments — harmoniously uniting to create the artist’s first release in over 17 years.

Composed of eight tracks with bizarre, lengthy titles, the lyricless New Blue Sun is labeled as new-age and experimental jazz. It’s fairly shocking that André 3000 is not a trained musician, given the project’s brilliance; led primarily by rhythm, and using his instincts developed from rapping, the expert flutist embeds New Blue Sun with an organic authenticity. The album feels limitlessly atmospheric, dipping into an ambience that teeters between peaceful and precarious.

With Big Boi in the ‘90s, André 3000 undoubtedly helped shape hip-hop, pushing the genre forward with creative integrations of funk, jazz, rock, and gospel. In 2024, he continues to break rules as he champions alternative jazz — all with his flute by his side.

When Beyoncé’s first country song came out in 2016, people questioned if the icon belonged on the country radio — despite the indisputable impact of Black artists on the genre. Eight years later, the genre-bending diva is still drowning out the noise by switching on her very own radio station: COWBOY CARTER’s KNTRY Radio Texas, that is.

The fantasy station is one of the many visionary elements of COWBOY CARTER, an album that honors the cultural contributions of Black artists to American country music. The eighth studio project is Act II of her album trilogy; while the first installment RENAISSANCE (2022) focused on futuristic escapism, COWBOY CARTER looks to the past. It pays vibrant tribute to the Black community’s roots in country music, offering a glorious reimagination of Americana.

Not just championing but also reinventing Southern subgenres, COWBOY CARTER is yet another example of Beyoncé’s revolutionary versatility. From horseshoe steps to boot stomps to Beyoncé’s fingernails as percussion, the album unites bluegrass, zydeco, folk, R&B, and more to craft a majestic testament to Beyoncé’s boundless artistry.

Boasting 27 tracks and five years in the making, the Texas-born legend’s album includes features from Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Linda Martell, Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Shaboozey, Tanner Adell, Tiera Kennedy, Reyna Roberts, and Brittney Spencer, embracing country legends as well as making space for up-and-coming Black artists on the scene.

While Beyoncé has yet to take home GRAMMY Gold for Album Of The Year, she remains the artist with the most GRAMMY wins of all time. After all, this isn’t her first rodeo.

"Oh, I leave quite an impression," Sabrina Carpenter croons on Short n’ Sweet, with a nonchalance that’s virtually intoxicating. While the 25-year-old indeed stands at just five feet tall, it’s evident the actress-turned-songstress has enough talent to fill a stadium.

Glowing with lighthearted, honest-to-goodness genius, Short n’ Sweet is the cherry on top of Carpenter’s already extensive discography. Her sixth studio album spawned a trinity of 2024 hits: "Espresso," "Please Please Please" and "Taste." With this remarkable trio, Carpenter became the first artist since the Beatles to chart their first three top five US hits in the same week. Short n’ Sweet's success was boosted by her Coachella debut earlier in the year, and furthered during her first arena tour.

On her delightful summer hit "Espresso," Carpenter explicitly mentions that her "twisted humor" is what makes her lovable, which might remind older fans of her 2022 single "Nonsense." The pop track went viral for its raunchy, often silly outros that Carpenter lovingly tailored to each city she toured in — and on Short n’ Sweet, she taps into her risqué wit much more fully, rocketing her album to another level of memorable.

Undoubtedly, it’s Carpenter’s bright confidence that makes space for her playful pen game on Short n’ Sweet. With her signature plucky yet composed soprano, she balances her soulful ardor with her deadpan humor expertly, allowing her to explore the nuances of romance in new and clever ways — all while maintaining her infectious charisma that earned her her first GRAMMY nominations this year.

Charli xcx knows how to throw a party, and on June 7, 2024, she turned the world into her own nightclub. BRAT, her sixth studio album, gloriously splattered the globe a garish green, with hits like "360," "Apple," and "Von Dutch" soundtracking the summer.

Ten years after scoring her first GRAMMY nominations for "Fancy" with Iggy Azalea, the British queen of "brat summer" continues to crank out bangers about chandelier swinging and driving in the fast lane. Working with producers A.G. Cook, EASYFUN, Cirkut, her fiancé George Daniel, and other longtime collaborators, Charli conjured her own genre: a chic, club-ready pop blend of electroclash and hyperpop.

Though the self-proclaimed 365 party girl sings about dancing until dawn and sipping one too many aperol spritzes, BRAT is also Charli’s most vulnerable album, her long nails gingerly peeling back the sticky layers of fame and womanhood. BRAT makes blunt confessions about jealousy, questioning motherhood, grief, and intergenerational trauma. Brilliantly, she’s dauntless and exposed all at once — and still bumpin’ that at the club.

Her popular co-headlining SWEAT Tour with GRAMMY-nominated collaborator Troye Sivan vroom-vroomed BRAT to arenas across the U.S. Charli xcx might have had her shades on while performing, but make no mistake: she has nothing to hide.

When people think of contemporary jazz, rollercoaster might not be the first word that comes to mind — but Jacob Collier is nothing if not ambitious. As the climax of his four-album project dating back to 2018, Djesse Vol. 4 triumphs as an odyssey through genre.

What makes Collier such a prolific musician is his refusal to distill abundance. He sees the beauty in anything and everything, and Djesse Vol. 4 brings his perspective to life. The project not only centers but celebrates the human voice; in fact, about 150,000 voices feature on Djesse Vol. 4 — many from his own concert audiences that he transformed into improvised choirs. 

Collier has won multiple GRAMMY Awards for Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals, and Djesse Vol. 4 continues to showcase his mastery of sound via genre diversity. The nominated album is modern and sprawling, from the serenity of his audience-choirs to howling of heavy metal. Djesse Vol. 4 is thought-provoking, engrossing, and oftentimes surprising; who else would have aespa and Chris Martin on the same track?

Collier is the first British artist to win a GRAMMY for each of his first four albums, and Djesse Vol. 4 already boasts a GRAMMY-nominated track on it (2022’s "Never Gonna Be Alone," featuring Lizzy McAlpine and John Mayer, which was later announced as the album’s first single). Collier was previously nominated for Album Of The Year for Djesse Vol. 3 and also received a nod at the 2023 GRAMMYs in the same Category for Coldplay’s nominated Music of the Spheres.

Djesse Vol. 4 has redefined Collier’s perspective on life, and in a way, Collier’s album is more than a reflection: it’s an open invitation.

Billie Eilish had a fear of water as a child, yet to capture the album cover for HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, she spent six brutal hours on-and-off submerged underwater with a weight on her shoulders. "A lot of my artwork is painful physically in a lot of ways, and I love it," the 22-year-old told Rolling Stone. "Oh, my God, I live for it."

Eilish delves beneath the surface in more ways than one on HIT ME HARD AND SOFT. As rippling, immersive alt-pop, the album swims through similar topics covered in her first two studio albums, including coping with fame, body image, and post-breakup grief. Yet Eilish is no longer the proudly self-proclaimed "bad guy"; instead she doesn’t tether herself to a persona.

In this way, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT holds dear a newfound, striking level of maturity. Eilish is incontestably true to herself, and lyrically, the album feels especially unbridled and attentive. With its title a paradoxical demand, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT powerfully represents the impossible struggle between intensity and tenderness — both in love and in life.

Though the album cascades as an emotional torrent, it’s as cohesive as it is potent. It’s (unsurprisingly) produced by her brother and day-one collaborator, FINNEAS, whose minimalistic but nevertheless hard-hitting soundscape gives bedroom pop a makeover. Eilish’s third Album Of The Year nomination shows that, once again, she isn’t treading water; she’s plunging straight into the deep end.

In the prismatic world of pop, Chappell Roan knows how to rotate through every color in the rainbow. A kaleidoscope of wistful yet intense romance, Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess churns with the unabashed authenticity that only true superstars can craft — and on a debut album, nonetheless.

Although Roan’s career began 10 years ago on YouTube, the Missouri-born singer skyrocketed to fame in the last year following spectacular festival performances and an opening slot on Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour. Her 2020 single "Pink Pony Club" pushed the singer toward a massive 2024 breakthrough, the song an open proclamation of queer joy (amid understanding her evolving relationship with religion).

Inspired by drag queens, Roan’s aesthetic is breathtakingly campy and sparkly — much like her striking debut album. Championing female and queer freedom, The Rise And Fall gushes with yearning in a way that’s both carefree and confessional. From the hungry, heart-shattering "Casual" to the kinky pleasure of "Red Wine Supernova," each track showcases Roan’s sharp dynamism.

The Rise And Fall bursts with radiant '80s-inspired and 2000s synthpop from GRAMMY-winning producer Dan Nigro, all of which only highlights her dynamism. Beyond her vocal flips and cutting lyricism meant for laughing and/or crying, what’s special about Roan’s album is its defiance. Chappell Roan is the definition of unapologetic, and The Rise And Fall is all the evidence anyone needs.

Before it was even released, The Tortured Poets Department had already made GRAMMY history: during her acceptance speech for the 2024 GRAMMY Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, Taylor Swift surprised audiences by announcing the album’s upcoming release. And just one year later, Swift is making history yet again with her seventh Album Of The Year nomination.

Serving as a creative "lifeline" for Swift during the Eras Tour, working on The Tortured Poets Department reminded the star of how integral songwriting is to her wellbeing. Consequently, the 16-track album (plus an additional 15 tracks in an expanded version of the labrum) unveiled some of her most diaristic songwriting yet. Swift's meandering lyrics stand out as particularly candid, dramatic, and whimsical — though it’s far from the first time the prolific songwriter has used or referenced poetry in her work.

For a return to her folksy synthpop sound, Swift turned to her close friends Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, who most recently helped produce her GRAMMY-winning album Midnights among other projects. Showcasing Swift’s collaborative brilliance, The Tortured Poets Department also features Post Malone on the hauntingly atmospheric opener "Fortnight" and a stirring "Florida!!!" verse from Florence + the Machine.

As the Eras Tour comes to a close (unless, of course, she has another surprise up her sleeve) on Dec. 8 in Vancouver, The Tortured Poets Department’s nomination is one of the many recent reminders of Swift’s staggering legacy. Swift is the first and only person to have won Album Of The Year four times, and The Tortured Poets Department could score her a legendary fifth win — further solidifying her as a breaker of records and rules.

Learn more about Jimmy Douglass below:

Known as "The Senator," Douglass is a five-time GRAMMY winner and 11-time GRAMMY nominee whose prolific career began in the early '70s at Atlantic Records studios in New York City. Starting as a part-time tape duplicator while still in high school, he quickly rose through the ranks, learning from legendary figures like Tom Dowd, Arif Mardin, Jerry Wexler, and Ahmet Ertegun. He went on to work with major Atlantic Recording artists such as Aretha Franklin, Hall & Oates, Roberta Flack, Donny Hathaway, Foreigner, Led Zeppelin, and AC/DC, among many others. By the 1980s, Douglass expanded his repertoire by taking on production roles; he engineered and produced established artists including The Rolling Stones, Slave, Odyssey, Roxy Music and Gang of Four.

In the early 1990s, Douglass refined his skills by working on jingles and post-production, a period that honed his ability to work efficiently while capturing the essence of each project. This foundation proved pivotal when he began a groundbreaking partnership with Timbaland in 1994, for whom he served the main engineer for more than a decade. Together, they collaborated on classic projects by Aaliyah, Missy Elliott, Jay-Z, and others, shaping the sound of contemporary R&B and hip-hop.

In the 2000s, Douglass continued to innovate. He engineered and mixed more Timbaland-produced projects from artists including Snoop Dogg, Bjork and GRAMMY-winning albums for Justin Timberlake. Among the artists he also mixed are Rob Thomas, Sean Paul, Kanye West, Ludacris, Al Green, John Legend, and Duran Duran.

Renowned for bringing unconventional techniques into the studio and encouraging artists to transcend genre restrictions, he is credited with bringing a raw edge to sound and specifically bringing a heavy funk-bass sound into rock music.

Douglass remains at the forefront of the industry, leveraging his decades of experience to push creative boundaries while inspiring countless artists. His versatility and technical mastery have solidified his status as one of the most respected producers, engineers and mixers in the world.

"Our P&E Wing proudly celebrates GRAMMY Week each year with a special evening that unites producers, engineers and artistic professionals to honor a truly deserving creator," Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. said in a statement. "This year, we're thrilled to pay tribute to the extraordinary Jimmy Douglass, who has led groundbreaking creative and technical efforts in the recording industry, encouraging artists to transcend genre boundaries and contributing to iconic musical projects that will resonate for generations."

 "Throughout his illustrious career spanning more than four decades, Jimmy's visionary approach to producing, engineering and mixing has shaped some of music's most iconic recordings. Jimmy consistently pushes the boundaries of sound by bringing unconventional techniques into the studio while inspiring countless artists along the way," Maureen Droney, Vice President of the Recording Academy Producers & Engineers Wing, echoed the sentiment in a statement. "On behalf of the Producers & Engineers Wing, we are delighted to dedicate our 2025 event to Jimmy and his amazing career."

The 2024 Latin GRAMMYs marked 25 years of Latin music excellence with a gala evening in Miami, one of the world capitals for the Latin music industry. Replete with dazzling performances from legends and rising acts, tributes and tearful acceptance speeches, the 25th Annual Latin GRAMMYs was certainly one for the books.

In an evening with many leading lights, onelegend stood out as the night’s star: singer, songwriter and musician Juan Luis Guerra.

Guerra already had two dozen Latin GRAMMYs on his CV — as well as three GRAMMYs — but his run at this year’s Latin GRAMMYs netted several new pieces of hardware. His honors included the award Album Of The Year for Radio Güira, the inventive 2023 concept EP released with his band 4.40, and Record Of The Year for "Mambo 23," a hyper-speed merengue epic from the EP. Radio Güira also took the prize for Best Merengue/Bachata Album, while "Mambo 23" also won for Best Tropical Song.

These were Guerra's first wins in a major category since 2015, when he won Album Of The Year for Todo Tiene Su Hora at the 16th Annual Latin GRAMMY awards. Guerra has won Album Of The Year as an artist in 2007, 2010 and 2014, and in 2012 he won for his production work on Juanes' MTV Unplugged album. 

Despite his familiarity with the Latin GRAMMYs stage, Guerra appeared emotional when he walked up to the stage for the last time to accept the award for Album Of The Year from Carlos Vives. Holding his Latin GRAMMY, Guerra praised God and credited Jesus with inspiring the album.

Earlier in the night, Guerra delighted the crowd at Miami’s Kaseya Center with a performance of "Mambo 23," featuring the full band. Dressed in his iconic newsboy cap and neckerchief, he launched into the dance floor burner on a stage illuminated in flashing neon. Boiler Suit-clad dancers completed a scene that was somehow both unassuming and spectacular.

Guerra has had a four-decade long career of innovating in Caribbean music, while bringing genres such bachata to international fame. Radio Güira continues the theme of boundary pushing. It has been praised for its experiments in combining old and new genres, from merengue to reggaeton, with dashes of jazz and blues. 

Check out the complete list of winners and nominees at the 2024 Latin GRAMMYs.

Since his debut in 2015, Declan McKenna has been a voice for his generation. The British singer/songwriter first gained attention at just 16, winning the Glastonbury Festival's Emerging Talent Competition with "Brazil," a track that cut through with its sharp critique of FIFA's actions around the 2014 World Cup. This early success signaled McKenna's commitment to addressing social issues head-on, distinguishing that he was more than just a fresh face in indie pop — he was an artist on a mission.

Fast forward nearly a decade, and McKenna remains an evolving force in music, one who consistently refuses to play it safe. But for fans, what makes Declan unique goes beyond his activism; he's an artist with a distinctive style and a personality that's as engaging as his lyrics that touch on inequality, mental health and government corruption. This drive for social commentary hasn't faded; if anything, it's deepened with time, giving his music a resonance that goes beyond catchy hooks. 

On Oct. 25, the now 25-year-old McKenna doubled down on his mission — literally — with his first two releases as a fully independent artist, "Champagne" and "That's Life." And with a slew of major tour dates ahead, including his first-ever arena and stadium performances, McKenna is gearing up for perhaps the most pivotal moment of his career yet. 

As McKenna celebrates this new chapter, learn more about his artistry, advocacy and where he's headed to next.

McKenna has consistently infused his work with sharp social commentary, starting with his debut album, What Do You Think About the Car?, where he tackled issues like political disillusionment, mental health and the struggles of youth in modern society. Songs such as "Brazil," a critique of corruption in FIFA, and "Paracetamol," which highlights LGBTQIA+ issues, showcased his ability to address complex topics with raw honesty and indie-pop energy. His second album, Zeros, built on this foundation with a more dystopian, cosmic approach, addressing existential themes about humanity's future, societal decay and technological overload.

In between What Do You Think About the Car? and Zeros, McKenna released one of his most politically charged songs to date, "British Bombs," which, as he described to NME, addresses "the hypocrisy of the British arms trade and the weapons convention in London." He donated all proceeds from the song to help those affected by those issues, telling DIY, "I think it's important to be as engaged as possible and if there is something there that can help people then that's brilliant. Ultimately that's what it's all about and if I'm not attempting that then I don't think I'm doing it right."

On his third studio album, What Happened to the Beach? — which arrived in February — McKenna turns his attention to environmental concerns, presenting a powerful narrative on humanity's impact on the planet. The album brings the urgency of climate change to the forefront, marking his latest effort as both a continuation and evolution of his mission to merge thought-provoking messages with resonant rock melodies.

In addition to making statements in his music, McKenna has been an active advocate for social and environmental causes, including climate activism, LGBTQIA+ rights, and racial justice. As a passionate supporter of groups like Extinction Rebellion, he urges his fans to join climate strikes and raise awareness through social media — further showing his dedication to inspiring action.

McKenna's music is often likened to that of legends like Bob Dylan and David Bowie — the latter of whom is a major inspiration for the singer — thanks to his insightful lyricism and genre-defying sound. Despite the praise, McKenna remains grounded, focused on creating authentic, meaningful music. 

With anthemic tracks like "The Key to Life on Earth" and "Be an Astronaut," he brings a passion and energy to his live performances that is reminiscent of the rock icons that came before him. McKenna's ability to connect with audiences through his raw, emotionally charged performances has solidified his status as one of indie rock's most compelling young artists.

Declan McKenna's career has been marked by a bold evolution in sound, fusing elements of indie rock, glam rock and classic Britpop into a unique and instantly recognizable style. His early music leaned into indie pop with socially conscious themes, but as his career progressed, he embraced a more eclectic mix, drawing inspiration from icons like David Bowie, the Beatles, and modern psych-rock influences such as Tame Impala.

McKenna's sound has grown richer and more experimental, weaving in lush, futuristic textures and embracing everything from anthemic rock to subtle folk inflections. This sonic growth reflects McKenna's expanding ambition, offering listeners a journey through genres and tones that remain cohesive yet ever-evolving.

Though McKenna only released one song between the Zeros' September 2020 arrival and his first What Happened to the Beach? single, "Sympathy," in July 2023, he celebrated his first-ever Gold record in 2022 with "Brazil," which has since been certified 2x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) thanks to a resurgence on TikTok.

TikTok also helped McKenna reach wider audiences in September 2023, when a fan-recorded clip of him singing ABBA's "Slipping Through My Fingers" on a 2021 Instagram Live went viral. The surge in popularity reignited interest in McKenna's catalog, prompting him to officially release the cover in December 2023. The track's release propelled it to the top of TikTok's Trending Songs chart and landed McKenna on Billboard's Alternative Streaming Songs chart, marking a moment of renewed visibility for the artist.

It was a perfectly timed occurrence for McKenna, as his third studio album, What Happened to the Beach?, arrived on Feb. 9, 2024. That release marked an important moment for the singer/songwriter, too, as it was his last in his contract with Columbia Records.

Eight months later, McKenna officially made his debut as an independent artist with two singles, "Champagne" and "That's Life" under his own label, Miniature Ponies. Though the label is a joint venture with ADA, a distribution company that's owned by Warner Music Group, as McKenna told Billboard, it's a fresh start for his career. "I've always spearheaded what I'm doing and who I've worked with creatively, but there's a different layer to it now where I don't have someone looking over my shoulder," he said. "It's a freeing thing."

McKenna fittingly became a fixture on the British and Irish music festival circuit after winning Glastonbury's Emerging Talent Competition, captivating audiences with his high-energy performances and engaging stage presence. After performing at the likes of Somersault Festival, Electric Picnic, The Great Escape Festival and Field day in 2015 and 2016, McKenna had an even bigger festival year in 2017, when he took the stage at Reading and Leeds Festival, Lollapalooza and even made a return to Glastonbury (where he’s since played two more times, in 2022 and 2024).

The budding star made his Coachella debut in 2018, the same year he invited a then-unknown Chappell Roan to open for him during his U.S. tour for What Do You Think About the Car?. In a 2023 interview with David magazine, Roan recalled watching McKenna on stage, perfectly encapsulating his awe-inspiring performances: "They had glitter on their face every night, and they threw balloons in the audiences and they were jumping off amps and speakers and everyone was screaming."

As he's continued to establish himself as a must-see act, he's embarked on several headlining tours and played more festivals around the world in the years since. But his next batch of tour dates are his biggest yet: in December, he'll head to Australia for a co-headlining tour alongside Two Door Cinema Club, and on May 27, 2025, he kicks off a 28-show trek opening for Imagine Dragons' European stadium tour — his biggest venues to date. With a whirlwind tour schedule, newly gained independence, and a passionate fan base behind him, McKenna's future looks brighter than ever.
