Nationwide — Prince has announced that his new album, HitNRun, will be released on September 7th, but only on TIDAL – Jay-Z’s subscription-based music streaming service which reportedly provides more royalties for artists than other streaming services. At a recent album listening party, he urged the crowd to also support the Tidal platform.
He also said, “After one meeting, it was obvious that Jay Z and the team he has assembled at TIDAL recognize and applaud the effort that real musicians put into their craft to achieve the very best they can at this pivotal time in the music industry. Secondly, TIDAL has honored us with a non-restrictive arrangement that once again allows us to continue making art in the fashion we’ve grown accustomed to and we’re extremely grateful for their generous support.”
He added, “And lastly, in the tech-savvy, real-time world we all live in todayday, everything is faster. From its conception and that one & only meeting, HITNRUN took about 90 days to prepare its release. If that’s what freedom feels like, HITNRUN is what it sounds like.”
