While Apple might have nabbed themselves Taylor Swift, it seems that Spotify too has landed a rather big fish of their own, this time in the form of the President of the United States, Barack Obama. Yup, you read that right, it seems that if you’re a Spotify listener, you can now listen to the playlists that have been created by President Obama himself.
So far the President has uploaded two playlists. One of them is dubbed “The President’s Summer Playlist: Day” which as its name suggests, is a playlist designed for daytime listening. There will be a variety of genres in this playlist such as soul, funk, rock, and Latin music, with the likes of artists such as John Legend, Brandi Carlile, Stevie Wonder, and more just to name a few.
The other playlist is designed for night listening and is understandably a more mellow playlist with downtempo beats. We are looking at the likes of artists such as Van Morrison, Beyonce, and Leonard Cohen just to name a few. Now we’re not sure how many of these songs were actually picked out by President Obama, or if he approved them.
However if you’d like to listen to songs approved by one of the most powerful men in the world, just fire up Spotify and you’re good to go!
