Tidal's CEO has left the company, two weeks after its launch

Bad news for Jay Z's new music streaming service, Tidal, this week: it's been announced that CEO Andy Chen is leaving the company, just two weeks after its launch. 

In the interim, Chen's role will be taken over by the company's former CEO, Peter Tonstad. According to a statement from Tidal, Tonstad "has a better understanding better understanding of the industry and a clear vision for how the company is looking to change the status quo. " He's also "streamlining resources", which is a fancy way to explain the departure of 25 other employees this week. 

"We've eliminated a handful of positions and refocused our company-wide talent to address departments that need support and cut redundancies," said Tidal in a statement. "TIDAL's offices globally will remain and grow: we are already hiring for several new positions now. We're excited about our future and what's in-store for fans who want the best listening experience."

Meanwhile, Business Insider reports that Jay Z has added a new very cool feature of the Tidal service: personal phone calls from Jay Z. Apparently, Jay Z, Jack White, and other celeb musicians have been calling up customers to personally thank them for subscribing. Which, alongside all that exclusive Beyoncé content, is definitely making us consider signing up. Because, seriously, we NEED to hear Kanye attempting to do a customer services call.
