The models are moving occasionally - it's kind of like a very slow-moving statue. I think some of the models have tears in their eyes? The color palate is lots of red, orange and burgundy, and it has a kind of scorched desert vibe to it. Some are on the ground, while others are atop two raised pedestals draped in cloth. There are tons of models standing dead still and looking very serious.

Lots of gospel choruses and Kanye getting deep with lines like "deliver us liberty, deliver us peace, deliver us love," plus a hot-as-fire verse by Chance The Rapper.Ĥ:40pm: The dome has lifted! I am not a fashion person (again, why am I here?!) but it looks very cool. How much did I spend on this again?Ĥ:39pm: "Ultra Light Beam" sounds awesome. So, yep, Kanye is just gonna play the album from his computer while he dances and chills with his friends.

It's called "Ultra Light Beam." "Feel free to dance, move, whatever y'all want to do," Kanye says. Pretty sure Kanye is going to control MSG's entire speaker system for a sold-out audience with an aux cord.Ĥ:38pm: The first track plays. Also lots of people screaming for Kylie.Ĥ:37pm: Kanye just asked for the aux cord and you could hear the static when it's plugged in. They are wearing lots of diamonds, feathers and white fur. I let out an audible squeal, which I did not see coming, but that is apparently the effect that real-life Kardashians have on me. I briefly entertain the idea of waiting and getting awesome TLOP tees for all my family and friends, but the line's not moving, so I give up and go inside.Ĥ:30pm: THE KARDASHIANS ARE HERE.

People are walking around with bags and bags full of swag like they're at a sample sale and/or stockpiling warm clothes for an upcoming thermonuclear winter.

What's under there!?Ĥ:20pm: The show has still not started - which I imagine is way more annoying for the people watching the livestream in 700 movie theaters around the world - so I go out to check on the merch line. The ushers are shaking the edges like they're trying to ventilate something underneath, or else they're about to play a big MSG-wide game of parachute.

"Tidal isn't Spotify when it comes to reach, so 'Pablo' is a really great number," Bakula said.

Unlike other streaming services, Tidal has two subscriptions tiers and no free option for listeners. This news came a day before its one year anniversary.
The Jay Z owned music service also announced on Tuesday that it eclipsed 3 million subscribers across 46 countries. Related: Kanye West: 'My album will never never never be on Apple' West's "Life of Pablo" was pirated over 500,000 times when it was released. There are negatives to being exclusive to a streaming service, however, and one of the major ones is piracy. "Kanye being outspoken and being Kanye helps get it there, but it doesn't make it without being a quality album," Bakula said. "Life of Pablo" had a highly promoted launch in February with West releasing the album following a performance on "Saturday Night Live." West also touted the release using his popular social media presence.Īccording to Bakula, an album can only get to these types of numbers if it's also a good album that people want to hear. That's how it differentiates itself."īakula added the industry ratio for streaming is 1,500 streams equals that of one album sold economically. "There's a lot of services that can stream audio, but there's only place where you get this album and that's Tidal. "It's a really good number, and it's even more impressive that it's only in one place," said David Bakula, senior vice president of insight at Nielsen Music.
