Soundrop, which announces that it will start distributing to TIDAL and distribute money according to the user centric model that Tidal introduced on its plus subscription, directly to artists.
Gabe Herring from Soundrop says:
- TIDAL has been one of our most requested distribution partners. On top of that, TIDAL has made some industry-leading commitments to its artist-founded roots. One big one: It's launched a fan-centric payment model that will serve Soundrop artists well. We are excited to work with a streaming service that is both popular with our creator community and that shares our passion for supporting artists.
TIDAL's model means that the artist that a user listens to most during a month receives up to 10 percent of the subscription money from that user directly paid out. The rest of the subscription money is distributed based on what the user has listened to during the month. The user can then see how the money has been distributed, and which artists they have supported with their listening.
