Rihanna just dropped the official visuals for her new single “American Oxygen” exclusively on Tidal, but here’s the catch, you have to sign up to the streaming service to watch it. Premium service costs $12.99. Luckily for us, there’s a free 30-day trial and we were able to watch the 5 minute video that consists of historic images and Rihanna singing in front of the American flag.
Peep clips of the video, below:

Earlier this week, a never-before heard remix of Beyonce’s track “Jealous” featuring Chris Brown hit the net and fans immediately blasted the Queen Bey for collaborating with the bed boy singer, who has a history of domestic violence.
Brown hopped on Twitter to assure fans that the track was real. “I did the jealous remix some months ago for the Beyoncé collaboration album but it was never used. Glad you guys get to hear it,” he wrote.
While Beyonce has yet to confirm the collaboration, feminists agree that it isn’t a very feministy move.
On fan wrote, “I never thought @Beyonce could disappoint me – until she collaborated with Chris Brown.” Yikes.
Listen to the remix:

Next to Fat Tuesdays, Spotify is having the worst week ever!
With the worlds biggest artists (Beyonce, Kanye West, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Madonna, Usher and others) signed on to exclusively release and promote their music on Tidal, Hov has taken his classic album “Reasonable Doubt” off Spotify, according to WatchLoud.
Jay spoke about the streaming service during an event at NYU.
“You guys may have seen some of the stats like, Aloe Blacc had a song that was streamed 168 million times and he got paid $4,000,” he said. “For us, it’s not us standing here saying we’re poor musicians. If you provide a service, you should be compensated for it. And not just artists — just think about the writers and the producers.”
The takeover has begun.
