Die With You is
a simple ballad, which the superstar performs alone, seated behind a black baby
grand piano.
"I wake up
just to sleep with you," she sings to the cameraman who, at the end of the
video, is revealed to be her husband, Jay Z.
The couple
celebrate their seventh anniversary this weekend.
Both of them are
co-owners in Tidal, which was relaunched last week in a star-studded New York
ceremony.
Artists including Arcade Fire, Daft
Punk, Jack White, Kanye West, Madonna, Rihanna and Usher all appeared at the
event, signing a declaration that
promised to "re-establish the value of music" and protect "the
sustainability of the music industry".
The paid-for
service pitches itself as "the first artist-owned global music and
entertainment platform" and promises musicians a greater share of
royalties when their music is streamed on the site.
Key to
attracting consumers away from rivals like Spotify, Deezer and Rdio is the
promise of exclusive content, of which the Beyonce track is the first
high-profile example.
Other exclusives
include footage of The White Stripes' first ever TV appearance, on Detroit
public television, and Daft Punk's feature film Electroma.
Beyonce's shook
up the music industry in 2014 when she released her fifth album on iTunes
overnight.
The
"stealth release" strategy broke iTunes sales records - in just 48
hours, it sold 68,000 copies in the UK, charting at number five in its debut
week.
Several artists,
including Kendrick Lamar, Drake and U2, have since released
"surprise" albums.
