[![Kanye](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201b8d1b00500970c-150wi "Kanye")](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201b8d1b00500970c-popup?ref=hypebot.com)Yesterday we wrote about how, by issuing multiple updates, **Kayne West** was **using music streaming to [rewrite what it means to release an album](https://www.hypebot.com/kanye-west-is-using-music-streaming-to-evolve-the-album-release-from-statement-to-conversation/)** from statement to ongoing conversation. The only problem was that,since **Tidal has the exclusive,** you had to be a subscriber to hear it. Overnight, they **solved that problem.**

Tidal users who signed up using their 30 day trial to hear Kanye West's new album "The Life of Pablo" on February 14th were set to loose access this week just as he released two unprecedented updates to the release.

After his latest album updates, Tidal now streams a new version of "Wolves" and a new track created from Frank Ocean's 'Wolves' outro dubbed "Frank's Track."

But yesterday Tidal sent an email to last months signups extending their free trial by another 30 days citing West's updates as the reason.
