Lil Nas X, Lizzo, the Black Keys and the Rolling Stones are among the artists whose songs landed on Barack Obamas latest annual summer playlist.
With summer winding down, heres a sampling of what Michelle and I have been listening to some new, some old, some fast, some slow, Obama wrote of the 44-song playlist. Hope you enjoy.
Like Obamas previous playlists, the songs range from emerging artists (Maggie Rogers Burning, Daniel Caesar and H.E.R.s Best Part, Elle Mais Bood Up, Rosalia & J. Balvins Con Altura) to rock legends (Van Morrisons Brown Eyed Girl, Rolling Stones Happy, Steely Dans Reelin in the Years and the Youngbloods Get Together).
The playlist also boasts the summers biggest single, Lil Nas Xs Old Town Road (Remix) with Billy Ray Cyrus, as well as recent hits like Lizzos Juice, Beyonces Mood 4 Eva and Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabellos Senorita.
Most musical genres are also spotlighted, from hip-hop (Lauryn Hill, Drake, A Tribe Called Quest, Mac Miller) to R&B (Raphael Saddiq, John Legend, the Spinners) to indie rock (Sharon Van Etten, Black Keys) reggae (Toots & The Maytals) and jazz (Charles Mingus).
