At this point in his presidency, President Obama has established himself as a Chill DudeTM?. Last summer, he released a playlist that was—for lack of a more journalistic word—fire. Now, BO has truly outdone himself, dropping TWO summer playlists for us to fawn over.
Behold, the only summer playlists you’ll ever need, curated by the most powerful man in the world, himself:
The president had to rep Chicago, including some Chance the Rapper and Common, because what’s a summer playlist without them? Sasha and Malia should be proud AF of their cool dad—not in a sarcastic way.
He also went back to his blues and jazz roots that he’s always been a loud and proud fan of, including some Miles Davis, Nina Simone and Billie Holiday. And who could forget Barry’s slow jams? D’Angelo obviously had to make an appearance.
You can check out the two playlists on Spotify and peep what else our commander in chief has been playing lately. At 55, he has better music taste than most out there.
