Kylie Auldist - Hybrid

Mon 9 Feb 2026 to Sun 15 Feb 2026
Feature Sounds

This week’s PBS Feature Album is Hybrid, the stunning new album from Queen of Soul Kylie Auldist.

As one of Australia’s most unmistakable soul voices, Auldist has built a career on warmth, honesty and groove - and Hybrid finds her at the height of her creative powers. The songs slip effortlessly between soul, modern R&B textures and ‘80s funk, but at the heart of it all, the album is held together by the power and presence of Auldist’s voice.

Writing and producing together in collaboration with old and new friends, Nkechi and Nic’s body of work is a sonic blend of cinematic soul, psychedelia, and Afrobeat, weaving through the complexities of cultural ties, gender, and identities across generations.
