Wizkid’s ESSENCE Makes Obama’s 2020 Music Playlist

In keeping with the tradition of sharing his music playlist, former US President, Barack Obama has released his music collection for the outgoing year. Among his preferred songs for 2020 is Wizkid ft. Tems track titled, ESSENCE.

He made the disclosure on his Twitter page on Saturday

According to Obama, the compilation was made with “valuable consultation from our family music guru, Sasha”, who appears to have significant influence on her father’s music choices.

Obama’s music taste spans across diverse genres, ranging from rock (Bruce Springsteen’s Ghosts, Bob Dylan’s Goodbye Jimmy Reed, Jeff Tweedy’s Love Is the King) to pop (Dua Lipa’s Levitating, Jessie Ware’s Remember Where You Are) to rap (J. Cole’s The Climb Back, Travis Scott’s Franchise, Lil Baby’s The Bigger Picture) to country (Chris Stapleton’s Starting Over, Ruston Kelly’s Brave).
