In February, just a few days after releasing his new album “Life of Pablo” exclusively on the
streaming service Tidal, Kanye West said on Twitter, “My album will never never never be on Apple… You can only get it on Tidal.” It was a short-lived vow. On Friday -- after just 6 weeks -- West put the full album on Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, and even SoundCloud.
West’s change of tune is unfortunate timing for Tidal, which otherwise had a big week of positive news. That awkward moment when you forecast to earning hugely from a business transaction. That was bad news for Tidal, Tidal looked forward to a big week. Although, it was a smart move for West, who gets his album out there to the masses after keeping it under lock and key for six weeks. But for Tidal, it hurt. What's your take on this? Comment below.
Personally, Kanye West broke my heart. I thought this was a perfect avenue for Jay Z's Tidal to hit the charts considering iTunes and Spoyify's high ranking position.
ReplyDeleteI actually didnt state that of Jay Z here. that's the full story. Tidal and Jay Z.
