As summer dwindles to its final days, President Obama gave everyone a peek at what he's been listening to through the Washington, D.C. heat and humidity. On Thursday, he tweeted out his summer playlist, which came in two parts: daytime and nighttime.
For daytime, POTUS has been enjoying some throwbacks, like the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations," Prince's "U Got The Look," and Aretha Franklin's "Rock Steady," balanced out with some newer tracks by Leon Bridges, Courtney Barnett, and Jay Z. When the sun goes down, Obama has been putting on Chance the Rapper, D'Angelo, Mary J. Blige, and Fiona Apple.
