Your summer just got a little groovier.
你的夏天可以变得更加美妙一点。

The White House joined Spotify — and our inaugural playlist was hand-picked by none other than President Obama. When asked to pick a few of his favorite songs for the summer, the President got serious. He grabbed a pen and paper and drafted up not one, but two separate summer playlists: One for the daytime, and one for the evening.
白宫加入了Spotify——而且我们的首张播放列表就是由——不是别人正是总统奥巴马精心挑选的。当总统奥巴马被要求挑选一些适合夏天听的、他十分喜爱的歌曲时,总统神情严肃十分认真。他拿起纸笔写下了(不是一张而是两张)不同的夏日播放列表:一张白日歌单,一张夜晚歌单。

注:Spotify是全球最大的正版流媒体音乐服务平台之一。
