TIDAL Brings Music Lovers A New Experience

Goodbye, Spotify. Hello TIDAL!

TIDAL Brings Music Lovers A New Experience

Spotify ads are the worst—you know the ones. Not only are the absolutely obnoxious, they ruin the vibe of a solo-jam session or a fun time hanging out with friends. Shout-out to the gyms that don’t use Spotify as their source of music.

After Beyonce’s release of “Lemonade” and Kanye West’s exclusive “The Life of Pablo” release, TIDAL become a more well-known outlet for music, thankfully.

After using Spotify and Pandora for years, I had to give the new streaming service a try and I am thoroughly impressed. This streaming service has been my go to for new music, good throwbacks and exclusive music videos.

TIDAL is a global, experiential, entertainment platform built for fans, directly from artists around the world. TIDAL members can enjoy exclusively-curated content.

The service offers high-fidelity, CD sound quality music, high resolution video, an opportunity to discover new artists via TIDAL Discovery, and unique experiences via Tidal X.

TIDAL is available in more than 46 countries with a more than 40 million song catalog and nearly 90,000 high quality videos, according to its site.

Not only is the streaming service easy to use on a desktop or mobile device, the interface of the design helps make it look as sophisticated as some of the artists who use it. (I’m still mad at myself for being in love with Bey’s album.) When playing a song, the cover album spins like a digital record player. Exciting, right?

With a $9.99 subscription fee for TIDAL Premium, users can listen to most artists without the distraction of ads. For students, TIDAL, like Spotify, offers a 50-percent off discount.

TIDAL offers exclusive content just for TIDAL subscribers since it is co-owned by recording artists. Fans of Nick Jonas got to watch his latest music videos, “Bacon” and “Under You,” early. Queen Bey’s fans who didn’t have enough money to pay for HBO to watch the “Lemonade" video album had the chance to watch it on the streaming service before it hit iTunes.

I figured there had to be a catch and maybe the streaming service wouldn't have some not-so-well-known artists, but it does. Yay!

For $19.99, or $9.99 for students, users can upgrade to TIDAL HiFi, a better sound quality option. But even the premium option offers sound quality that does the job just fine.

The next time you hear that annoying ad on Spotify, think about making the switch to TIDAL. At least get your 30-day free trial. OK, OK. I'm done sounding like an infomercial.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
