Indian singer Prateek Kuhad part of Barack Obama's favourite music of 2019 list

Indian singer Prateek Kuhad's song cold/mess has made it to former US president Barack Obama's favourite music of 2019 line-up.

The list, shared by Obama on Twitter on Monday, has 35 songs which includes Hello Sunshine by rock legend Bruce Springsteen, Show Me Love of Alicia Keys featuring Miguel and Go by the band Black Eyed Peas.


"From hip-hop to country to The Boss, here are my songs of the year. If you're looking for something to keep you company on a long drive or help you turn up a workout, I hope there's a track or two in here that does the trick," the ex POTUS captioned the list.

Featuring actors Zoya Hussain and Jim Sarbh, Kuhad's cold/mess featured on number 22 and the Delhi-based singer said he was honoured by the gesture.

"This just happened and I don't think I'll sleep tonight. Totally flipping out. I have no idea how cold/mess even reached him but thank you @barackobama, thank you universe. I didn't think 2019 could've gotten better, but damn was I wrong. What an honour," Kuhad replied on Obama's tweet.

Sarbh also gave a shout-out to the singer on Twitter.

Previously, Obama shared his favourite movies and TV shows of 2019, and the list includes Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag season two, limited series Unbelievable, Martin Scorsese's The Irishman and Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho's genre-defying class drama Parasite.

Harry Potter effect: Dobby fans help divert £430m UK-Ireland power link

Highlights

  • Harry Potter fans helped prompt the diversion of the £430m Greenlink interconnector away from Dobby's grave.
  • The 125-mile cable connects the UK National Grid with Ireland via County Wexford and Freshwater West.
  • Project manager Simon Ludlam said his company received "hundreds of calls" from concerned fans.
  • Planners subsequently rerouted the underground cable away from Dobby's memorial.
  • The National Trust previously agreed in 2022 that the mock grave could remain at Freshwater West.

Dobby's grave at Freshwater West in Pembrokeshire has led to the rerouting of a multimillion-pound power link between the UK and Ireland after Harry Potter fans raised concerns that construction could disturb the tribute to the fictional House Elf.

The £430m Greenlink interconnector connects the National Grid with Ireland through a 125-mile cable between County Wexford and Freshwater West. The Pembrokeshire beach is where the death of Dobby was filmed for the Harry Potter films.
