BURNA BOY, TEMS, AND PHEELZ ON BARACK OBAMA’S SUMMER PLAYLIST

Tems, Burna Boy, BNXN, and Pheelz, four Nigerian singers and songwriters, have made it onto former American president Barack Obama’s summer playlist every year.

Obama said, “Every year, I get excited to share my summer playlist because I learn about so many new artists from your replies—it’s an example of how music really can bring us all together. Here’s what I’ve been listening to this summer. What songs would you add?”

Obama has been releasing an annual summer playlist that features the songs he listens to, however, this is not the first time Nigerian acts are appearing on his list.

In 2019, Rema’s ‘Iron Man’ made the playlist while in 2020, Wizkid’s ‘Essence’ also made the list.

Just as the former US President asked, ‘What songs are you listening to?’
