Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, and Tems feature on Barack Obama's summer playlist
Barack Obama has revealed his 2024 list of favourite songs for the summer.
“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,” Obama said, sharing his playlist. “I hope you find something new to listen to!”
It looks as though Obama is having a BRAT summer, as he has included Charli XCX's "365", Billie Eilish's "Chihiro", and Tems' “Love Me Jeje”. Elsewhere, he had highlighted songs such as “Symptom of Life” by WILLOW, and classics such as Nick Drake's “One of These Things First”, “Where Did Our Love Go” by The Supremes, Norah Jones' “Come Away With Me”, and Blackstreet's “No Diggity”.
