President releases personal Spotify playlists

But the boundaries of reality are never enough to stop President Obama from doing things like, inking nuclear deals with Iran or buying high-waisted denim, so why shouldn’t the President’s Spotfiy playlist be released on the last full weekend of beach season? This morning, he’s joined the likes of your uncle Bob, who also just discovered Spotify and now won’t stop sending you playlists filled with Steely Dan records, to share two playlists of his own favorite big choons.

In fact, Obama referenced the lyrics of Jay-Z’s version of the tune-without crediting the rapper-during his remarks at the 50th anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery marches earlier this year.

“Obama’s night time playlist features Al Green’s “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”, Lauryn Hill and D’Angelo’s “Nothing Even Matters”, Frank Sinatra’s “The Best Is Yet To Come”, and Joni Mitchell’s Help Me”.

Political affiliations aside, what cannot be disputed is that President Obama is internet savvy.

The President has what seems like a pretty decent taste in music, pretty indicative of his age and era.

J-Tim’s “Pusher Lover Girl” makes the cut, along with the Bey and Ocean collab, “Superpower”.
