President Obama’s Summer Spotify Playlist: Sinatra, Coltrane, Erykah Badu And Beyoncé's 'Superpower'
If you’ve never imagined President Barack Obama dancing around the White House at night in his socks, a la Tom Cruise in 1983's "Risky Business," now you can. On Friday the “official White House account on Spotify” uploaded “The President’s Summer Playlist: Night.”
The list includes 20 tracks, which, according to the description, the president handpicked from “his favorite songs for a summer playlist.”
Most of the tracks are pretty much what you would expect, the first being “My Favorite Things,” by the late saxophonist John Coltrane -- a 13 minute, 46 second rendition. The second, however, makes our inner fan girls squeal: “Superpower,” by Beyoncé and Frank Ocean.
Obama and Bey go back a long time. She performed during Obama's presidential inaugurations in both 2009 and 2013.
The image for the Spotify playlist is a record, which states that it is “Side 2” of the President’s Playlist Vol. 1 Summer Night. It even includes the hashtag POTUSPlaylist, which makes us think this is the first of many playlists to come.
Check out the list of songs below and tell us what you think, or what you would like Obama to add.
