One of the key messages that Tidal is pushing is that it's a streaming service owned by the artists. Streaming services are all struggling to make money with high royalty costs that they must pay to rights holders while having enough left over to invest in their product and employees. There are some common struggles that Tidal may face. We wish Tidal the most success and think it is brilliant to see a streaming service that provides an offering designed by the artists themselves, but Jay-Z will need to show that he has what it takes to run a successful music tech company. Yes, Taylor Swift is on Tidal, which is a big deal since she’s been so outspoken against the market-leading Spotify and its artist compensation. But Swift’s newest blockbuster of an album, 1989, still is not on the service.Jay-Z's press conference to announce the re-launch of Tidal definitely caught the attention of the industry and fans alike with its power stacked roster of superstars in attendance. (Notably, video content is fairly hidden on the mobil app.) There is some but not a lot of exclusive video content on Tidal, with only 33 videos at all listed in the video section right now. But the section’s placement on the Tidal website - immediately under the featured section and above the new albums - suggests curating video content will be a major focus for the service. Among the featured playlists, Beyoncé shares her “festival favorites,” Aldean delivers his favorite party songs and White tells us what’s on the stereo over at Third Man HQ, as well as plenty more. Playlists by Beyonce, Jack White, Jay Z, Jason Aldean and deadmau5Ĭoldplay isn’t the only one getting in on the mix-making here. It starts with the Verve‘s “Bitter Sweet Symphony” and ands with R.E.M.‘s “Nightswimming.” On the way, it hits Radiohead‘s “Paranoid Android,” U2‘s “Bullet The Blue Sky” and TLC‘s “Waterfalls.” DMX and Method Man both make cameos in the Tidal-exclusive clip as well.Ĭoldplay’ “Songs That Formed The Band” PlaylistĬoldplay shares 10 songs that “have made a clear and meaningful contribution to their own stadium-filling sound,” as the Tidal description states. Madonna & deadmau5 Awkwardly Bury the Hatchet at Tidal Launchīehind the Scenes Footage of Alicia Keys’ Set the World on Fire Tour at Madison Square GardenĪlicia Keys’ Set the World on Fire tour lasted for three legs over 83 shows across the world in 2013, and even though that may seem like a long time ago this nearly 3 minute behind-the-scenes clip of Key’s Madison Square Garden stop is enough to get you amped up. Now Tidal’s got it, and with bonus footage and outtakes to boot. Save a few bootleg YouTube streams, Daft Punk’s self-directed 2006 film about two robots on a quest to become human has not been available for free viewing online. Tidal’s got their first ever TV appearance, performing “Apple Blossom” and “Death Letter” on Detroit Public TV’s Backstage Pass show from 2000 - the sort of thing you probably wouldn’t even know to look for elsewhere. Long before Jack White was the the rock and roll mogul he is today, he played in a little duo called the White Stripes. The White Stripes’ Exclusive First TV Appearance Rihanna‘s new track was released last week, but it’s not available streaming on Spotify or Beats.
