An Irish Artist Has Been Included In Barack Obama’s Favourite Songs Of The Year List

Barack Obama has always been a man of taste. Sure didn't he neck a pint of Guinness on his visit to Moneygall in 2011?

These days, the former U.S. President has a lot more time on his hands than he has done in recent years and one of the ways he keeps himself busy is by sharing his end-of-year lists on social media. Obama has posted on Facebook to reveal his favourite books, movies and songs of the year and the latter category contains none other than Wicklow's finest, Hozier.

The 28-year-old's song Nina Cried Power appears to have impressed Barack and with astonishing performances like this one on The Ellen Show it's easy to see why.

Hozier responded to the news of his inclusion on Twitter...

This is amazing? Thank you @BarackObama https://t.co/cyN0KBLnRm
