Tidal

Ok, so we all know that over the last few years the music industry has been losing it's mind trying to save itself. Now, Jay-Z and a shed load of his mates have come up with a idea... which seems to simply translate to pay double because Beyonce thinks she needs more money... We are talking about Tidal & they just held the maddest press conference ever.


Ok, so this is Jay-z's new business,  don't get me wrong, I love the Hova and Bee has been the Queen forever but really is this the answer. I have talked before about Spotify and the gripes artists have but this press conference really does not do them any favours. However everyone seems to be putting there eggs into the basket which is high definition sound streaming, Neil young is at it with the crowd funded Pono and now Jay-Z is offering this with Tidal and also exclusives etc. Yet no free version..

Techcrunch have a piece about it being destined to fail here

& Gawker have gone in hard with the boot. Here.

Next time I will do a full review of Tidal.
