Spotify may not yet be available in Canada, but that doesn’t mean we can’t share United States President Barack Obama’s newly compiled re-election campaign (which he, or his representatives, put together on the popular streaming service).
The playlist, which you can see in full below, comes with a few obvious choices, like Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together,” which Obama sang at an appearance in New York last month. But anyone who says they’re not surprised to see songs by No Doubt and Ricky Martin is probably lying. As for the playlist as a whole, to quote the popular Obama meme…it’s…not bad. [via Stereogum]
