Obamas reveal their carefully curated 44-song summer playlist

You hate to see it, but summer is winding down – even Barack and Michelle Obama know it since they shared their summer playlist on Saturday.

As the former President himself notes, it's a mix of old and new, spanning multiple genres and speaking to the multitudes of both Obama himself and – one could say – the American people. We like 2Chainz and Frank Sinatra! We can go straight from Lizzo to Steely Dan (!). The Obamas are friends with the artists behind "Shining," while the rest of us, you know, listen to it on the subway.

With summer winding down, here’s a sampling of what Michelle and I have been listening to — some new, some old, some fast, some slow. Hope you enjoypic.twitter.com/BS5ri1lvxz
