Some critics are already saying that yesterday’s announcement looked like a meeting of “music’s 1%,” that these were just superstars looking to make themselves richer. What would you say to that perception of Tidal?
I would almost say it’s the reverse of that. Ok, these are established artists who care enough about the sustainability of the industry, stepping out on a limb and doing this. Of course there are going to be people who are cynical. But look, at the end of the day, if any established artist goes out and gets an endorsement deal -- no one’s gonna criticize them for that because that’s how they make money. But if an established artist goes out and steps outside of the box and says, “I’m trying something different,” that invites criticism. There is some bravery for what these artists are trying to do. Its not to fill their own pockets, it’s to create a sustainable industry.
Absolute mess... We won't mention one of the 12 investors who steals music, claims writing credit, and has it all come out a year later that they changed one word to gain such credit, making more money on the side.. Or another one of those and their army of ghost writers who are paid probably very poorly to have their name Unincluded on the credits.
MESS
Creating a sustainable industry??
They've alreasy directly affected the sustainability of the music industry and are now seeking payment for it??
