One of the most confounding things about TIDAL - because, for the most part, it seems like a good idea - is the high price tag for premium features. Kanye West ended his contract with the service, alleging the company owes him $3 million in payments. The move comes after other artists have criticized the company. Whether Bey and Jay will pull a Taylor and swiftly (ha!) upload their discography to Spotify remains to be seen. There’s still one TIDAL-exclusive track, but it’s unlikely that anyone will pay a monthly subscription fee just to listen to it.

Internet users were quick to express their frustration. On her “Nice” verse she sings “Patiently waiting for my demise / ‘cause my success can’t be quantified / If I gave two fucks about streaming numbers / would have put Lemonade up on Spotify.” Branded in 2015 as an artist-owned cooperative, TIDAL hasn’t seen the commercial success that Apple Music and Spotify have, but it has had the advantage of exclusive content from some of the world’s most in-demand artists.

Members of the Beyhive were obviously over the moon, except there was a catch… you could only get the new album on the streaming service Tidal, of which Jay-Z is part owner.įans of the couple have already endured jumping through the hoops of Tidal exclusives to listen to their music. On Saturday, Beyoncé pulled a quick one on adoring fans, once again, when she released a surprise album, EVERYTHING IS LOVE, with her husband Jay-Z after their dual-performance in London.
