It’s earned millions of dollars and helped launch its namesake to the top spot on Forbes’ highest paid musicians list, but now, the Beats By Dre brand is looking to expand its business. According to Digital Music News, the popular electronics company is looking to branch out with a new digital music service.
Beats Electronics is now preparing to launch a new digital music service called Daisy. According to Beats’ CEO Jimmy Iovine and the company’s newly-appointed head Ian Rogers, Daisy will offer listeners access to stream up to 12 million songs on a paid subscription basis.
“Right now, these things are all utilities. It’s give me your credit card, here’s 12 million songs, good luck,” Iovine said. “We have an entire generation that was brought up on sound being inferior, and sound is the only conduit for emotion that we have. We’ve had ten very bad years in the audio industry. So we want the best possible quality, and it will have global scale. So it will be a balance of those things.”
Rogers added, “We have to opportunity to create a trusted brand in music. To be honest, we’ll release the product when it’s ready, but we’re looking at the second half of this year. I’ll remain Executive Chairman and remain member of Board [at Topspin],” Rogers stated. “We’re also announcing today that Beats is making a strategic in Topspin as well, so it means great things for Topspin as well.”

Friends, Romans, countrymen lend me yo’ eardrums
It was a beautiful day off in the neighborhood
Yellows and greens and blues and browns
and greys and hues that ooze beneath dilapidated woods
Ain’t a thing could explain what pertains
to cocaine it’s a stain that rain
See summer roll around niggaz holla bout change
Then they steady move them ki’s like Bob James
Cause old man winter’s arrived, the temperature dives
November just died, December’s alive
Thus it ain’t no typical ride
Just individual’s way to bring home
the bacon when bacon was all gone
Makin it our own, takin me all wrong
We’ve all indulged in the bulge of those no-no’s
No you ain’t solo, it’s even lower levels you can go
Take sun people, put ’em in a land of snow
Kiss my ass when the sun shines
