If fans [wanted to hear](http://time.com/money/5314343/everything-is-love-download-listen/) the nine tracks on the album, which includes Beyoncé rapping, Jay-Z sounding off about the Grammy Awards, and [Blue Ivy](http://time.com/5229512/jay-z-blue-ivy-david-letterman-interview/) giving a shout-out to her younger siblings Sir and Rumi, they had to either sign up for Tidal, make due with clips of all the songs that were streaming for free, or just cross their fingers and wait to see if the music would appear elsewhere. Luckily, they didn’t have to wait long. Tidal’s exclusive hold on the album has ended seemingly quickly. As [_Billboard_ reports](https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/8461361/the-carters-everything-in-love-is-now-available-on-spotify-amazon-music), _Everything In Love_ is now available to download at Amazon Music. And as of Monday, the album is also available to Apple Music users. > [](https://twitter.com/amazonmusic/status/1008597799653527552) In addition, _Everything In Love,_ the rumored third installment of the couple’s marital trilogy that includes Beyonce’s _Lemonade_ and Jay-Z’s_4:44_, is also available to stream on Spotify, despite the couple’s [apparent feelings](https://www.engadget.com/2018/06/17/beyonce-and-jay-z-tidal-exclusive/) for the site as evidenced in their track “NICE”. In the song, [Beyoncé](http://time.com/time-person-of-the-year-2016-beyonce-runner-up/) uses an epithet to explain her decision to keep her 2016 album _Lemonade_ off of the popular streaming service, singing: “My success can’t be quantified/ If I gave two f—s about streaming numbers, would’ve put ‘Lemonade’ up on Spotify.” ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] N / A [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5314542/listen-to-everything-is-love/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5314542/listen-to-everything-is-love/"},"headline":"How to Listen to Beyoncé and Jay Z's New Album If You Don't Have Tidal","datePublished":"2018-06-18T14:35:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-12T09:31:13.478Z","description":"Tidal no longer has the exclusive rights to the Carters new joint album “Everything Is Love”","url":"https://time.com/5314542/listen-to-everything-is-love/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","Beyonce","Jay-z"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltcfbfaa977a03f2f6/6989333b86f68e6ecf6e9701/jay-z-beyonce-new-album-everything-is-love-tidal.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltcfbfaa977a03f2f6/6989333b86f68e6ecf6e9701/jay-z-beyonce-new-album-everything-is-love-tidal.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"jay-z-beyonce-new-album-everything-is-love-tidal.jpg","caption":"Beyonce and Jay-Z \"On the Run II\" Tour Opener - Cardiff","creditText":"Kevin Mazur - Parkwood Entertainment/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5314542/listen-to-everything-is-love/","name":"How to Listen to Beyoncé and Jay Z's New Album If You Don't Have Tidal"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Five Things To Know About Beyoncé and JAY-Z's Surprise New Album","description":"Just over a week after Beyoncé and JAY-Z kicked off their On the Run Tour II, the pair shocked their fans by releasing a new joint album called Everything Is Love","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/KlY6Q5fO/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-06-17T17:29:12.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/KlY6Q5fO.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5314542/listen-to-everything-is-love/","duration":"PT56S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5314542/listen-to-everything-is-love/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
