    that’s actually a major move and will firmly establish EVEN

    this is HUGE for DIY artists for an artist at Cole level to be backing this. damn…what if…the boy wouldn’t…right?

    Here’s my thing though

    EVEN isn’t the first D2C service, nor is it even the most popular

    Bandcamp been right there for a decade, what’s so different about EVEN that has artists wanting to promote it so heavily?

    What do y’all think Cole does first week if he sidesteps DSPs completely?

    Eh it may be like a 24/48 hour exclusive no way this doesn’t hit DSPs it’s damn Super Bowl weekend that would be crazy to miss those parties

    Idk the Birthday Blizzard EP still ain’t dropped on streaming

    And if it’s pay-what-you-want then I can’t imagine anyone interested in this album not giving it a $1 to listen to it

    Some people are saying this might mean the album is gonna be direct to consumer like the other ep he dropped recently

    That would be so damn dumb lmfao

    Direct to consumer is such a fire model. Radiohead did the same s*** with In Rainbows (2007)

    More the reason to actually sell your album to your fans.

    If 100000 people buy this album at midnight. Thats a million bucks instantly
