The White House on Friday released two Spotify playlists of summer songs hand-picked by President Obama.
One of Obama’s playlists is for day, and the other is for night. It can be assumed Obama is grooving to them as he vacations in Martha’s Vineyard.

“When asked to pick a few of his favorite songs for the summer, the President got serious. He grabbed a pen and paper and drafted up not one, but two separate summer playlists,” Deputy Director of Digital Strategy Kori Schulman said on a White House blog.
The playlists includes a mix of genres, from hip-hop to folk, and a variety of artists including Beyonce, Frank Sinatra and Bob Marley.
“Over the years, the White House has continued to grow its social media presences and find new ways to connect with people all over the country through a range of platforms,” the White House said. “On Spotify, you can expect to see the White House share playlists created by people in the White House, as well as playlists curated around events and issues to engage the public.”
Spotify, a Swedish-based private company, launched in 2008. It streams music, podcasts and videos. As of June 2015, it announced it had more than 75 millions users (20 million paid).
Spotify is the latest online outlets the White House uses, which already includes Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Flickr and Medium.
