The White House’s first Spotify playlist is here!

The last few weeks of summer just got a thousand times more exciting. The White House joined Spotify on Friday, releasing two playlists on the account curated by none other than President Barack Obama.

The playlists feature 20 songs each. An eclectic mix, the two playlists capture the smoothness, and relaxing elements that make the summer heat worthwhile. There’s a song for just about everyone on these night and day summer playlists. President Obama’s taste in music definitely does not discriminate.
