Former President Barack Obama, known for his varied musical taste varying from neo-soul to timeless rock, has released his yearly summertime playlist.
Continuing the tradition he started in 2015 while still in office, the 63-year-old shared his favorite tunes of the year, together with a list of books he s been checking out.
Obama acknowledged the diverse nature of his playlist in a post on X, composing, With summertime unwinding, I wished to share some tunes that I ve been listening to lately and it wouldn t be my playlist if it didn t consist of an eclectic mix. I hope you find something new to listen to!.
In a nod to the ongoing brat summertime, Obama consisted of Charli XCX s turbo-charged 360 on the list, echoing the musical vibe welcomed by Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Presidential candidate, who highlighted brat summertime in her online project.
He credits his daughters, Sasha and Malia, with helping him keep his musical tastes existing and broad. Talking To Carter Gregory (thecarterb) in a new video, Obama mentioned, I get referrals from my children which keeps me not stuck in the 80s.
Obama s playlist features a mix of both new and old tracks. Amongst the artists included are nation breakout star Shaboozey (A Bar Song (Tipsy)), pop feeling Billie Eilish (Chihiro), and hip-hop singer Tommy Richman (Million Dollar Baby).
Other tracks consist of classics, varying from Blackstreet s No Diggity and Digable Planets Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat) to the Supremes Where Did Our Love Go and the Rolling Stones( I Can t Get No) Satisfaction.
