A revolutionary new way to stream music.
A rtists have had enough. What was the issue? Artists not getting
what they deserve from the work they made. Streaming ser-
vices like Pandora and Spotify have given millions the option to listen
to their favorite artists for free. However, Pandora, Spotify and other
services have not given artists their royalties from their work. Only a
minimal percentage of royalty from the songs being streamed have
gone to the actual artists. Where does most of the money go to?
Anonymous executives that run streaming services. Pharrell Williams
who has gotten over 100 million streams on Spotify for one of his
songs has only received $2700 from his song being played. The situa-
tion is even worse for indie/underground artists who only receive
about $90 for the thousands of streams they get for their music.
(Go on)
"Aloe Blacc had a song that was streamed 168 million times and he got paid $4,000. For us, it’s not us standing here saying we’re poor musicians. If you provide a service, you should be compensated for
it." - JAY Z
Origins
Jay Z bought the company
Aspiro which holds Tidal for
$56 million dollars. Aspiro
currently has 500 million paid
subscribers. Tidal , as of
December 2014, has 12,000
paid subscribers.
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift has made it clear to
Spotify and the public that her
music will not be streamed on
their services without the ap-
propriate payout to artists who
have spent their time and ener-
gy into their art forms. She has
allowed for her music to be
used for streaming in Tidal as it
gives an opportunity for artist
to receive the appropriate pay-
out and spotlight that they de-
serves especially to indie/
underground artists.

Tidal offers a chance for artists
to be directly compensated for
their efforts. The music stream-
ing service is directly owned by
artists themselves such as JAY
Z, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Rihan-
na, Madonna, Calvin Harris,
etc. The new app also comes
with benefits for those who sub-
scribe. The new app also in-
cludes Lossless High Fidelity sound
to give listeners a new, high quality
experience while listening to their
favorite songs compared to the
standard sound which is used in
other music and video apps.

our lives.”

Met Gala: China: Through
The Best...
Beyoncé's stunning Riccardo Tisci was a
jaw dropper at this year’s Met Gala. The
nude illusion tulle dress was dyed specifi-
cally in Queen B’s skin tone and nicely
matched with the glamour and luxury of
Lorraine Schwartz’s diamonds.
Rihanna’s epic and amazing dress was spe-
cially crafted by designer Guo Pei, in the
past two years. The 27 year old singer stat-
ed that she encountered this stunner
while searching through the internet. The
55 lbs. dress was the only gown that was
actually designed by a Chinese designer.

Met Gala: China: Through The Looking Glass...
Zendaya’s remarkable and impressive dress
was custom designed by Fausto Puglisi with a
plunging black velvet bodice and crimson silk
duchesse asymmetric skirt hand-embroidered
with crystal and velvet sun motifs and
matched with custom Jack Vartanian black dia-
mond studs and rings by Lydia Courteille,
Pasquale Bruni and Casa Reale.
Shu Pin Qin’s flawless gown was custom de-
signed by famed designer, Tommy Hilfiger. “It
isn’t a really traditional Chinese dress, but
they’ve added some Chinese details,” says Qin,
“a deep neckline with gold beading and a bright
red color.” The gown greatly complimented the
model’s figure giving a nice silhouette earning
her one the best dressed at this year’s Gala.
Janelle Monaé’s glamourous ensemble
was designed by H&M and was matched
with beautiful Nicholas Kirkwood shoes,
a Rodo clutch, Jack Vartanian ear cuffs,
a Carla Amorim bracelet and ring, and Le
Vian rings. Looking good there, Ms.
Monaé!

The W
orst
Kris Jenner disappoints this year with her gala
gown. Her gown looks bunchy due to the
shoulder padding making her lose her great
figure. Better luck next year, Kris!
Jennifer Lopez’s gown is stunning but it di-
minishes her own beauty as it clashes with
her body’s natural figure. She could also jazz
up the outfit with some accessories. Still look-
ing good there, J-Lo!
Katy, Katy, Katy. The outfit is completely off
and it doesn’t attempt to fit in with this
year’s theme of China, the look could have
gone well with the theme from 2 years ago,
Punk. Might wanna fire your stylist, Katy!
Sarah Jessica Parker’s gown looks amazing
however her headdress draws the attention
away from the flawlessness of Sarah’s beauty
and the gown. Still fans though, Sarah!
Alicia Keys disappoints this year with the over
simplicity of her gown this year. The gown does
not go along with the theme and the jacket Ali-
cia wore draws away from the allure of her
whole look. Might wanna try harder next year,
Alicia!
