gagzus 15,784 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Shockwaves continue to ripple through the industry following the release of Frank Ocean‘s new album ‘Blond.’ Because, as reported, Ocean fulfilled his contract with the corporate giant upon the soft launch of ‘Endless.’ A standalone visual effort. 48 hours later he’d go on to drop his actual sophomore album independently on Apple Music. Word on the curb is that UMG had no clue. Hence the episode served as a catalyst for the the wielding of the ax on such exclusives. Interestingly, the shenanigans appear to have impacted Lady Gaga‘s upcoming release. In a new article assessing the Ocean drama, Hits Daily Double shared the following: "[The saga] triggered Lucian Grainge’s mandating an end to all exclusives—notably including a deal that had been in place between Apple, Lady Gaga and UMG’s Interscope. Having announced new single ‘Perfect Illusion’ earlier this month, it’d be safe to assume that the dissolved deal pertains to Gaga’s upcoming release." Although, an alternate reading could simply see this mean that a broader pre-arranged agreement between Gaga and Apple has been deleted. Who knows? Whatever the case, 2016 is playing out like a titillating episode of ‘Sunset Beach.’ Or should we say… ‘Sunset Stream.’ Either way, we’re hooked.

gagzus 15,784 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 For those wondering, basically they're implying Gaga had a secret Apple Music exclusive deal for either the single or album and that it is now not allowed by her label's corporation.

Guest Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 It was nice while it lasted. See you all when LG6 is here. But seriously - changing plans last minute didn't go well at all the last two eras, I hope they learned their lesson and continue with the scheduled release.

Vodka 4,478 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Honestly hope not. I'm sticking to my theory that she likes to be considerate, going with the "save the best for last" bit Yes, I also do love partying in moving houses as seen in that one Bacardi tv ad.
