“A pedido de muitos”, Barack Obama decidiu partilhar no Spofity a banda sonora das suas férias de verão. O Presidente dos Estados Unidos apresentou duas playlists, uma para ouvir de dia e outra para a noite, com cerca de 20 faixas cada uma, e que retratam o variado gosto musical do Presidente.
Durante o dia toca Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Florence + The Machine e Justin Timberlake, na sua casa de férias em Martha Vineyard. À noite ouve-se Beyoncé, Al Green, Billie Holiday, Erykah Badu e Leonard Cohen, entre outros.
O anúncio das playlists foi feito por Obama no Twitter: “A pedido de muitos, aqui estão as minhas playlists de férias. Qual é a vossa música de verão preferida?”. O Spotify viu e respondeu: “Bem-vindo ao Spotify Sr. Presidente”.
