Tidal is an entertainment streaming service and artist hub that delivers high-fidelity streaming music along with exclusive content, editorial, experiences and merchandise. Jay acquired the company for $56 Million earlier this year. A lot of music friends will now be streaming/selling their music via this platform. See photos from the event after the cut...

Now let me get this straight…piracy can be eradicated if artists just band together in the name of money? Tidal is dead on arrival because listeners are cheap, it lacks a critical mass of both users and musicians, and the market is crowded.
That’s what this is all about, cash. For the misguided artists who believe this is their financial savior but primarily for Jay Z, who’s using OPM (other people’s money) to have a big score.
Then he would have learned to go where there’s no competition. That’s how you win in the tech space. But Spotify’s got traction, Apple has a ton of cash and Deezer and Rdio are players. If you think Tidal’s gonna walk right in and get huge market share, you probably believed iTunes Radio was gonna neuter Pandora. But it did not. Hell, even Jimmy Iovine couldn’t neuter Spotify. Beats Music was a disaster in its initial incarnation. Give Jimmy credit for selling the enterprise to Apple, but without the profit-making headphones, there wouldn’t have been billions involved.
And why was Spotify successful? Because of the deep pockets of the owners, who were willing to lose on the way to winning. Beats Music did not have these deep pockets, and Tidal certainly does not. Unless the artists are all willing to kick in double digit millions, out of their fortunes, to turn the tide.
So first and foremost you’ve got to pay for Tidal.
And therefore it’s dead on arrival. Just like Apple’s new music service. Because people are CHEAP! They love their money more than their favorite artists, never forget it. And the kind of person who pledges devotion to Tidal artists is the same kind who’s home alone, broke, waiting for their parents to put cash on their debit card. Now if Tidal had a free tier… But it doesn’t. It can’t afford to lose that much money. It’s not about the long haul. No one in music has been about the long haul since the turn of the century. First you get traction, then you monetize/charge. Can you say Instagram, can you say Snapchat? But suddenly, just because Jay Z is a famous musician he expects all of his fans to pony up ten bucks a month? Raw insanity.
As is the position of the artists on the stage. I’d be much more impressed if they all ankled their deals, got rid of the major labels and went it alone. That’s why they’re not making much money on Spotify, not because of the free tier, but because their deals suck. But these same deals apply on Tidal! They’ve got to license the music from their bosses! It’s utterly laughable, like nursery school kids plotting against the teacher, or a kindergartner running away from home. Grow up!
Furthermore, right now Tidal doesn’t have critical mass and artists need other platforms to succeed. You don’t expect retaliation? I do. I certainly expect artists to break ranks, to provide content to other companies, therefore dissipating the hegemony.
And this is a big story today, what about tomorrow?
That’s what we’ve learned in the internet era, it’s about staying power, not the launch. Tidal is news this afternoon, by tomorrow no one is talking about it, never mind next week. Then the hard work begins. Are all these artists going to walk the streets in sandwich boards, garnering sign-ups like a political canvasser gets signatures? Of course not.
But then maybe someone will buy Tidal, and everybody will get paid.
But who is that company?
Apple’s already got Beats.
Facebook is about user-created content.
Amazon is not about acquisitions.
And Google already owns streaming music, with YouTube.
Who is gonna be that stupid?
Maybe there’s a mark out there, but probably not. Because investors are savvy. That’s how they made all that money to begin with.
So why don’t these artists go home and write compelling music.
Jay Z is the king of branding deals, but his Samsung app/album sank like a stone, despite NBA Finals commercial and all that Korean kompany marketing.
Nicki is such a beauty sa. Did any1 notice that "coldness" in dat rihanna and bey's pic? Lool.. nice 1 jay.
Wow..Queen Beyonce remains flawless.. Love her
JayZ... The king.
Alicia, rihanna and Nicki.. Beautiful and talented women.
Kanye remain Loyal.
Usher and madonna.. Ageless.
I'm sure dey had fun.
I really don't understand why you bloggers are so stupid. Everyone on that stage is a co-ownwer,it isn't just Jay Z, Tidal is a service owned/run by artist. Do your fucking research its silly
Wow nice beautiful faces...
Congrats to him..Beautiful Peeps! Lovely Pix!
Why is Beyonce looking sad and lost
Awkward! !!! The picture of Beyonce and Rihanna.
How is dis gonna hlp GEJ win the election??
