Former U.S. President Barack Obama released his annual summer music playlist, dedicating the first spot to Irish musician Glen Hansard, who recently died in a car accident in Dublin at age 56. Obama highlighted Hansard's song 'Song of Good Hope,' which he and his wife Michelle particularly loved. The playlist includes a mix of modern genres like pop, hip-hop, rock, soul, and classic tracks. Hansard was best known as the lead singer of the Irish band The Frames, co-founder of The Swell Season, and actor/musician in the film 'Once.' His song 'Falling Slowly,' co-written with Markéta Irglová, won an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2008. Obama's playlist follows his tradition of sharing curated lists of books, films, and music, continuing a practice since his presidency.
