New Albums

A few days ago, two new albums came out from two famous artists. One was Views, by Drake. Another was Lemonade, by Beyoncé. Beyoncé's album was available exclusively on Tidal, which is an app that requires a paid subscription (and which Jay Z, her husband, partners with). Many people, including me, were very upset. Tidal isn't much different from iTunes, so why did everyone have to get another platform to listen to her music? I don't think that she needs the extra money; she seems to be living a pretty good life. All the fans and I wanted to do was listen to her album easily. But then, there was a riot over social media, and it was decided that now Lemonade will be on iTunes. This just goes to show that people can get crazy over their music, and that social media is a very powerful tool.
     
As for Drakes new album, I haven't had any problems getting it. I've enjoyed his music in the past, and this is no different. Currently, I like his album better only because I wasn't pressured to pay a good chunk of money for an app that I don't want. Both albums are good, but it came down to convenience. Drake won this round.
