Today's Morning Edition music is from Rihanna with her new song "American Oxygen," which was released over the weekend.

The song is only available on Tidal, the new music streaming service co-owned by a group of major recording artists including Rihanna.

Tidal is trying to lure customers with its high-quality "lossless" audio. It's also promising that the artists will get a bigger share of revenues compared with other streaming services.
