Barack Obama unveils summer 2024 playlist - including Charli XCX, Billie Eilish and more
13.08.2024 - 07:20 / euronews.com / Bob Marley / Barack Obama / Billie Eilish
Former United States President Barack Obama has unveiled his annual summer playlist, and this year, he’s been listening to Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Shaboozey and Beyoncé.
His list consists of over 40 songs which includes new acts and some classics like Bob Marley & the Wailers, Blackstreet, The Rolling Stones, and Etta James.
Obama wrote: “With summer winding down, I wanted to share some songs that I’ve been listening to lately – and it wouldn’t be my playlist if it didn’t include an eclectic mix. I hope you find something new to listen to!”
Obama, who recently endorsed Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, has been posting annual playlists each summer since 2015, when he was still in the Oval Office.
A common question is whether he actually curates his playlists himself, with many questioning whether he has a team behind him making his frequently brilliant picks.
Obama refuted the claims that a team is behind his selections, telling comedian Hasan Minhaj: “I am so glad that I have this opportunity. People, they believe the books and the movies, but the playlists, they somehow think - and this is mostly coming from young people like you - somehow, y’all think you invented rock ‘n’ roll. You invented hip-hop. And so the fact that my lists are, you know, pretty incredible - people seem to think, well, he must’ve had some 20-year-old intern who was figuring out this latest cut. No, man! It’s on my iPad right now.”
