This article first appeared on Audio Copy V1.0 beta 2 from 29. Today’s glitches make the smoothness of the surprise Beyonce and D’Angelo albums (the latter of which even included a surprise physical release) all the more impressive.Īs for the actual music on To Pimp a Butterfly? A cursory first listen strongly backs the case that Lamar has, again, made a monumental piece of work. Last fall, Apple made several seconds of static available on Taylor Swift‘s store page, which subsequently topped the Canadian iTunes chart. Given the complexity of high-profile surprise releases, it’s not unexpected when errors occur. Requests for comment from Interscope were declined. There is still an issue with finding the record on Lamar’s artist page within Spotify, which was characterized as a glitch that would be corrected shortly. “It went up at midnight last night.” When Billboard pointed out that Spotify wouldn’t release a record without a plan, the rep said that no, the company would not. Spotify’s representative had touched down in Austin for SXSW minutes before a phone call with Billboard. An Apple representative contacted by Billboard said the company was “looking into it.” While Tiffith’s tweets had not been explained at press time, Lamar’s manager, Dave Free, tells Billboard that the album’s “pre-order lock” on iTunes was a glitch that would be resolved shortly. Anthony Tiffith, CEO of Lamar’s label Top Dawg Entertainment, seemed confused over the drop, pointing an accusatory finger at label partner Interscope on Twitter (a tweet appears to have since been deleted).
