Obama's Groove

Obama's Groove
December 31, 2017


Barack Obama just released a list of his favorite songs for the year,  And I don't recognize any of them (except for Bruce's song).  Frankly, I don't know any current musicians.  I just don't listen to music anymore. So, I am going to listen to all of these songs and decide if I like them or if Obama has lousy taste in music.

My (Obama's) favorite songs of 2017:


  • Mi Gente by J Balvin & Willy William - NAY
  • Havana by Camila Cabello (feat. Young Thug)- It's OK
  • Blessed by Daniel Caesar - NAY
  • The Joke by Brandi Carlile- YEA
  • First World Problems by Chance The Rapper (feat. Daniel Caesar)- It's OK
  • Rise Up by Andra Day- It's OK
  • Wild Thoughts by DJ Khaled (feat. Rihanna and Bryson Tiller)
  • Family Feud by Jay-Z (feat. Beyoncé)
  • Humble by Kendrick Lamar- NAY
  • La Dame et Ses Valises by Les Amazones d’Afrique (feat. Nneka)- YEA; I put it on my song list
  • Unforgettable by French Montana (feat. Swae Lee)
  • The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness by The National
  • Chanel by Frank Ocean 
  • Feel It Still by Portugal. The Man
  • Butterfly Effect by Travis Scott
  • Matter of Time by Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings
  • Little Bit by Mavis Staples
  • Millionaire by Chris Stapleton- It's OK; I'm not a big country music fan.
  • Sign of the Times by Harry Styles 
  • Broken Clocks by SZA
  • Ordinary Love (Extraordinary Mix) by U2


*Bonus: Born in the U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen (not out yet, but the blues version in his Broadway show is the best!)
