Ten years ago a 17-year-old Rihanna was introduced to the world as the protege’ of Pop power couple Jay Z and Beyonce, wheeled into their PR machine to support her debut album ‘Music of the Sun.’
Today, the couple are to use their TIDAL streaming service to continue on in their efforts to sign and nurture emerging artists.
How?
Brilliant news below…
The ‘TIDAL Rising‘ program will see the company use its own money and resources to fund projects to support emerging acts with events tat will showcase their overlooked gifts.
What’s more, the company has teased plans to set up a mentorship program which would see established artists lend their time and support to artists from all walks of life, using their experiences to guide them as they embark on their creative journeys.
In a statement released this week the company had this to say on emerging artists:
It’s their voices that really matter in this. If their voices aren’t in positive support of this, then we have failed. I genuinely mean that.
Still a flop.
Flop like Rihanna’s upcoming album.
TIDAL is DEATH!
I Dont Jay Understands That Until He “Does Like Spotify” And Give Out Some Free Trials Or Introductory Price Memberships We Won’t Be Checking For Tidal.
That’s How I Got My Spotify, 3 Month Deal And Pay $4.99/Month Student Price
why is beyoncé mentioned like she is the founder?
All the artist on that stage are considered founders you dumb Thot
so why aren’t that all mentioned instead of just “Jay and bey”?
Because the writer wanted to mention her, you mad?
I guess. He should’ve done this first. Market stuff like this in the forefront and put “the artists get paid more” on the back burner as a plus. “Consumers, tidal gives you better quality then others blah blah, mentors up and coming artists blah.. aaannnndd also pays the artist and producers more” he would’ve gotten more support that way. But good luck to him.
Beyonce had NOTHING to do with Rihanna’s career. She was simply an influence, so were Aaliyah, Janet and Mariah Carey. Sure they tried to make her a young Beyonce, but so did every label with their female artist. (Let me be pnr step ahead of the pest, they’re so predictable. Before you post your She My Idol video, Beyonce is “iinfluenced” by everyone. Even though she confuses the words influence & stealing.) O:-)
Correction: She was an EARLY inspiration in her career, due possibly for Beyonce being the closest superstar she ever been to (at the time, thanks to Jay-Z), any new artist will get inspired by the first famous person they encountered, because that’s the goal, being famous. THAT INSPIRATION is nowere to be found NOW because it was a mere “I want to be big too, like her”, it was an ambition, rather than an other than an idol. THE SUPERSTAR the world know as Rihanna today is/was influenced/SELF MOLDED/created by several artists, true greats (Marley, Madonna, Damita etc), Beyoncé is not part of that Rihanna, you can see the differences in both artist, musically speaking the BAJAN BEAUTY leaves Jay-Z’s WIFE in the dust, her hability to sing almost every music genre is impressive.
Said the coke head. You Stan for Madonna, so your opinion is NULL and VOID.
You are such a pressed dirty southern p*** Marikos
.
Those non singers you mentioned ,except Mariah got nothing on Beyoncé
.
Bye
.
Reminder: BBHMM fell 5 spots and AO is in top 80 on hot100
.
You got more work to do than a pressed Beyoncé bashing paragraph
They are so desperate….
Like the juggernaut is to have a #1 this era before she could announce her album release date?
Back to Flopal. All streaming sites supports inde artist. Plus no one will rush and $20 for them.
Broke ass b**** no wonder you fave is flopping like that
Broke? Never. That would be the Hive with their 150% interest rates on their fast loans for Oh The Flop tour. I buy Rihanna’s albums and pre-album singles, that’s good enough. I don’t pay for streams, I buy albums (if their good enough). 😀
I think what make people dislike this couple is their pretentiousness or at least that’s how their fans make people perceive them, if you don’t think this article is just another honorary tribute to music’s power couple then you’re part of the worshipers club too, they have become unbearable, a new edition of Kanye and his wife.
I’ll have to agree. I was turned off when all four at on front of the BET awards, drank wine as of they were the royals from England or Presidents of the first world.
LMAO.
Lol @Marikos
.
Hater!!!
.
They all so much better than all your faves combined
.
Kimye and Jayonce >>>> your divorced and unmarried flop faves
Yes kill them with your succes and bury them with a smile
Exactly!
But Tidal is not a success, so…
If only the navy could run to ITunes the same way they running to all Jay Z/BEYONCE post
Bit of irony there isn’t it?
Uh my fave had two #1 this era she didn’t struggle with Her fthree lead single stay in your lane boo
That’s cute, but didn’t her 2nd single flop and was shadowed by Dark W****? I’ll stop, Katy killed the Lady Monster, so she’s cool in my book. (Even if she had the most boring superbowl performance in history)
I’ll throw my demo at Jay-Z’s head if I have too, imagine being a bey and jay protégée
The best medicine for hate, is success, and Beyoncé and Jay-Z have proven that time and again. Tidal will succeed
*succeed.
And the desperate scrambling to stay afloat continues…
You better hope that scrambling works too…because Tidal’s life line depends on it.
*Tidal’s life line for R8
learn how to form a literate sentence b****
This tidal project is definitely a slice of humble pie to the Carter’s…This brings them back down to reality..I aint mad..
Artists like bc jean or maybe underknown artists like ledisi
These two are leeches frauds and hypocrits
Won’t be leeching in my pocket though
if this is true and they are sticking to there guns and no underhand shady sh!t then i’m up for it 100%.
The salvation army running in her calling Tidal a flop ,like the juggernaut’s latest singles aren’t tanking
.
Hahaha!!!!
.
All her singles out of top 20
Good for them more success with every thing they do together haters have norting on them
Back peddling.
Good for for him and at that time he did signed teairra Mari to his lebal too but Rihanna beat out of teairra Mari on the label record
