UK Prime Minister stans for Conor Maynard, Rudimental, Alt-J
Quote:
David Cameron gave Barack Obama a 'mix USB' featuring songs by current British artists, it has been revealed.
The UK Prime Minister gave a ten-song playlist to all world leaders at last month's G8 summit, reports The Guardian.
Jake Bugg, Rudimental, Alt-J and Conor Maynard are among the artists featured on the USB stick, while Vladimir Putin and Angela Merkel are among the other heads of state who would have received the gift.
The tracklist was compiled for Cameron by the British Phonographic Industry, which has described the songs as "a bespoke creation for the leaders".
The full tracklisting is as follows:
Alt-J - 'Tessellate'
Jake Bugg - 'Lightning Bolt'
Laura Mvula - 'Green Garden'
Lianne La Havas - 'Is Your Love Big Enough?'
Ben Howard - 'Only Love'
Gabrielle Aplin - 'Home'
Tom Odell - 'Another Love'
Rudimental ft John Newman - 'Feel the Love'
Birdy - 'Skinny Love'
Conor Maynard - 'Can't Say No' (source)
Promoting his faves at global political events. When will us local stans?
Green Garden, Feel the Love and Can't Say No. There's no doubt we have the best music in the world.
I like Rita Ora, and R.I.P is one of the defining songs of 2012 here, but she probably wouldn't have reflected well on the country. They could've put Hot Right Now, but they've already got Rudimental on there for drum & bass.
My fault, i thought it was just a peek on his iPod or something like that, it's a well-known fact that Britain stans hard for Rihrih so it would not be surprising to see her there.
