Former President of United States, Barack Obama has released his favourite 30-track list for 2020 and Essence by Wizkid featuring Tems made the cut.
Obama while explaining how he selected the 30 tracklist said that his music choices were influenced by the family’s music guru, Sasha Obama.
“Here are some of my favorite songs of the year. As usual, I had some valuable consultation from our family music guru, Sasha, to put this together. I hope you find a new song or two to listen to.”
Essence, a single off Wizkid’s latest album, “Made in Lagos” is the only Nigerian song in the list.
