Tidal (stylized as TIDAL, also known as TIDALHiFi) is a subscription-based music streaming service offering lossless audio and high definition music videos with content curated directly by musicians and artists. Tidal is currently owned by Jay Z and a variety of other music artists from multiple genres. It is the first artist-owned music streaming service in the world.

More information about the history and ownership of Tidal can be found here; this article focuses on the unique offerings of Prince using the service.


First steps

Prince began using Tidal to offer unique content in May 2015, six weeks after the service’s artist-heavy public relaunch. In an interview with Fox9 during the recording of Baltimore on 29 April, 2015, Prince talked about the distribution of the song:
"We’re going to talk to Jay-Z and his people about streaming it on ‘Tidal'," he shared with a nod.

The song was instead streamed on a newly-created Prince3EG Soundcloud account, but Prince’s discussions on working with Tidal were already underway. Two days before Prince’s Rally 4 Peace show on 10 May, 2015, in Baltimore, MD, USA, Tidal announced it would live stream 60 minutes of audio from the concert, for free (pre-pay wall). This broadcast included the pre-show DJ set by Dudley D. as well as the first part of the show.

On 21 July, 2015 Tidal began streaming a music video for Baltimore, which was offered exclusively on the platform.

Prince’s partnership with Tidal increased dramatically a few months later.


Further developments

On 7 August, 2015, Prince’s album Hitnrun Phase One was announced as a Tidal exclusive, and when the album was made available on Tidal on 7 September, 2015, it was accompanied by a significant presence of exclusive material on the platform.

In addition to Hitnrun Phase One, several out-of-print albums were made available, including some NPG Music Club albums that had not previously been available in high definition: The Chocolate Invasion (with a slightly altered tracklist from its initial release in 2004), The Slaughterhouse, Xpectation, C-Note, N.E.W.S., One Nite Alone... and The Truth, as well as the majority of Prince’s main album catalog (which is more widely available through other retailers also).

The NPG Music Club albums for the first time contained the original artwork created for the releases in 2002/3, which in some cases had not been used for the 2004 releases. The War was also made available, and while the artwork given with the track kept the name New Power Generation, the credit given for the track was Prince.

A video section was also launched, including some videos not previously seen other than in a single broadcast: Indifference (previously seen in part during the Yahoo! Live album release party for Art Official Age and Plectrumelectrum) and Plectrumelectrum as well as a live version of Plectrumelectrum from 22 February, 2014, Manchester Academy 1, Manchester, England. Baltimore also remained available.

A "Purple Pick of the Week" section was also created, with a presence on the main Tidal homepage. The section was accompanied with the text:
"Stay tuned for Purple Picks - new tracks, exclusives, rarities and more from the vault, curated personally by Prince."
