Jay's new music service, Tidal, has come under fire for being an out-of-touch attempt to get some of music's biggest names even more money. The star-studded launch event, where many very wealthy celebrities gathered to talk about why their music should no longer be free, rubbed many people the wrong way. But today Tidal is trying to reinforce its status as a platform by artists and for artists, launching a Discovery section that it says will make it easy for unsigned acts to reach the audience they deserve.

"Some of the best music in the world is the music we never hear, because sometimes the most talented artists don't get the break they deserve," the company said in a statement. "The highest quality releases will be featured in monthly Tidal playlists and be promoted along with Tidal exclusives.
