If you were hanging on to hopes that The Life of Pablo would eventually become available on a service other than Tidal, those hopes – nay, those dreams – could be about to be realised.
The good people at Mashable report that Kanye West’s entire seventh album will become available from Friday on Spotify, Apple Music, Rhapsody and Google Now.

We knew Ye would come through, but we’ll keep the celebrations low-key until we have the physical proof on our very own device.
Kanye originally stated The Life Of Pablo would “never never never” be on Apple, or for sale at all. Tidal was supposed to be the only place you could listen to it. But, over the past week, Famous and I Love Kanye have become available to stream on Tidal’s rival services, which gives credence to the rumblings heard by Mashable.
And, to make things even more intriguing, Yeezy tweeted a link to ilovekanyesong.com, a website featuring Apple Music and Spotify logos.
Does the massive success of the album on Tidal have anything to do with this? It was streamed 250 million times on the service in its first day alone. Maybe a search for similar success is driving the decision. Really, we’re just happy it’s become a possibility.
