The playlist is a curated mix of songs from global artists spanning multiple genres, handpicked by the president as his go-to summer jams. The first Black of the United States to share the playlist on his social media platforms.
“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,” he wrote.
