Guess what? Barack Obama, the cool cat himself, just spilled the beans on his secret playlist! Yep, the 62-year-old ex-President decided to treat us mere mortals with his top 28 jams of 2023, and it’s like a musical feast curated by the commander-in-chief of groove.
So, picture this: Obama, in all his post-presidential glory, dropping the hottest tracks from the likes of Beyonce, Lenny Kravitz, Tems, and a bunch of other musical maestros. The man knows his tunes, and he ain’t shy about letting the world in on his musical taste.
In a move that’s almost as epic as his time in the Oval Office, Obama took to Instagram on a casual Friday (December 29) and nonchalantly said, “Here are some of my favorite songs from this year. Let me know if there are any artists or songs I should check out.” I mean, can you imagine getting music recommendations from the guy who used to run the country? Talk about a power playlist!
Now, let’s talk about the tunes that made it to Obama’s VIP list. Brace yourselves for “America Has A Problem” by Queen Bey and Kendrick Lamar—because apparently, even former presidents acknowledge that America might need a little tune-up. And then there’s “Cobra” by the one and only Megan Thee Stallion, injecting some serious presidential swagger into the mix.
But that’s not all! Rita Wilson and Keith Urban dropped “Crazy Love,” because even in the highest echelons of power, love can be a little bonkers. Mitski got a shoutout with “My Love Mine All Mine,” because who wouldn’t want a love that’s exclusively theirs? And hold on tight, because Victoria Monet’s “On My Mama” made the cut, and you know Mama doesn’t mess around.
Luke Bryan and Kacey Musgraves made an appearance with “I Remember Everything.” I mean, if anyone has a lot to remember, it’s probably a former president. And last but not least, Tyla’s “Water” flowed into Obama’s playlist, proving that even the ex-POTUS knows how to keep things cool and refreshing.
Barack Obama’s musical journey through 2023. Who knew the man had such a knack for curating a killer playlist? If this doesn’t make you want to dance your way into the new year, I don’t know what will. Cheers to Obama, the DJ-in-chief we never knew we needed!
