Obama drops summer playlists on Twitter

He’s done it again.

President Barack Obama released his daytime and evening playlists for the summer.

“Been waiting to drop this: summer playlist, the encore. What’s everybody listening to?” Obama tweeted on Thursday with two photos of his 2016 playlists.

Similar to his 2015 Spotify lineup, Obama’s taste in music varies, including hip-hop, rap and pop. He even dabbles in some classics, like the Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations” and relaxing tunes, like Sara Bareilles’ “Many the Miles.”

If you want to jam out like a president, try turning up one of these tunes.
