What's a Tidal?
A music app like Spotify founded by Jay-Z.
The proposal was to pay the artists more.
Sounds good, but I think the majority goes to the labels anyways, so it doesn't change much for the artists.
The main issue is executives basically enslaving their artists with "360 deal" contracts.
It was a Norwegian platform called Wimp, but Jay-Z bought it, rebranded it to Tidal and moved HQ from Oslo to the states.
