While it may come as a surprise to some, King Charles has exceptional taste in music. In celebration of Commonwealth Day, the king revealed Thursday that he would be releasing a playlist of songs—in collaboration with Apple Music—that have brought him joy over his life. The playlist will feature music from across “continents and genres,” according to a press release from the royal family, and includes artists like Kylie Minogue (!), Bob Marley, Grace Jones, Davido, and Raye (who was recently part of that James Bond musical tribute at the Oscars). “Throughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me. I know that is also the case for so many others,” Charles said in a video announcing the playlist Thursday. “So this is what I particularly wanted to share – songs which have brought me joy. This seemed such an interesting and innovative way to celebrate this year’s Commonwealth Day.”
