RELATED: JAY Z Opens Up About Tidal, Competition & The Future Of Music
If you’ve been perusing around social media like many of you do on the daily, you may have caught some of your favorite artists tweet or Instagram blue pictures with something called TiDAL in the description. For those unaware of what that may be, it’s JAY Z‘s newly acquired lossless music streaming service, which should deliver sound quality up to four times what Spotify does.
Artists such as Kanye West, Rihanna, Coldplay, Nicki Minaj, Usher, and Madonna have all pledged their commitment to Hov by supporting the #TIDALFORALL campaign, with more to follow. As you can see in the commercial above shows some of Hovito’s closest pals at what seems to be a roundtable meeting, waiting for the boss to speak.
You can head over to the TIDAL website to check out their monthly plans, which includes a $9.99 and $19.99 subscription. Are you jumping on the wave?
