Rihanna premiered her new song, American Oxygen, at the March Madness Music Fest on Saturday night in Indiana. While bits of the new song were played on NCAA basketball tournament commercials prior to Saturday, the March Madness Music Fest was the first time in public that Rihanna sang the entire song.
Other than at the March Madness Music Fest, fans of Rihanna, 27, will only be able to listen to the song, American Oxygen, on Jay Z’s new music streaming subscription service, Tidal, where it will be offered exclusively to subscribers. For the lucky fans who were at the NCAA basketball tournament-related event, Rihanna also sang some of her other hit songs, like Stay, Diamonds, and Live Your Life.
The song is not a rocking sort of song, but is rather a slow-paced ballad commenting about life in America. In the snippets of the song heard on promos for the March Madness NCAA basketball tournament, Rihanna was shown standing in front of an American flag as she sang the meaningful lyrics. In American Oxygen, RiRi sings about “Chasing the American dream,” and America’s “Respect for a nickel and dime.”
Rihanna was overwhelmed by the positive fan response that she received in Indiana. She wrote on her Twitter account how she “would never forget how much fun I had with you tonight!” She also was amazed that her fans at the March Madness Music Fest knew every word to the songs that she sang. Rihanna tweeted that it gave her “goosebumps.”
Although Indiana’s controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act has recently been amended, Rihanna also took some time out between songs on Saturday to slam the law. She used a few choice expletives to describe the law, which many people feel was designed to legalize discrimination against the LGBTQ community by trying to disguise the fact that was it’s intention behind a cloak of religious freedom.
Besides Rihanna, many other celebrities have spoken out against the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and the motives of Indiana Governor Mike Pence. They include Star Trek‘s George Takei, Dustin Lance Black, Miley Cyrus, Samantha Ronson and Andy Cohen.
Jay Z just launched his music streaming service, Tidal, last week. It is designed for audiophiles, and will offer exclusive content from some of the hottest singers and groups around, like Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Madonna, and Usher, among many others. Jay Z’s wife, Beyoncé, premiered a song on Tidal, Die With You. It is a love song meant to celebrate her and Jay Z’s seventh anniversary, and it was filmed by Jay Z. Subscriptions to Tidal cost $9.99 per month, though a premium subscription costs $19.99. However, the streaming service is currently free to try out for 30 days.
Rihanna debuted her new song, American Oxygen, at the March Madness Music Fest on Saturday, and just hours later, she premiered it exclusively at Jay Z’s music streaming service, Tidal. Many musical artists have voiced their support for Tidal, and plan to offer exclusive musical content there, as Tidal will supposedly not treat them just as commodities, but is designed to appreciate them for their talents and to pay them more fairly than other streaming services. Tidal just might turn out to be the “wave” of the future for music streaming services.

We are a group of volunteers and starting a new scheme in our community. Your site offered us with valuable information to work on. You have done a formidable job and our whole community will be thankful to you.
Hey, how’s it going?
Did you hear that the powers that run this world want to put a RFID microchip in our body? It will contain not only our bank accounts but our personal information, making us total slaves to the elite. This will cause us to lose even more of our privacy.
Did you know that this RFID microchip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible, more specifically Revelation 13:16-18?
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…”
Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Otherwise, we could still buy or sell without the mark amongst others if physical money was still currency. It’s amazing that the Bible foretold a cashless society!
Did you also hear that the Jewish people are in the process of bringing about the Third Temple prophesied in the Bible by the prophet Daniel, Jesus, and Apostle Paul? They deny Jesus as their Messiah and say their Messiah will be revealed to rule the whole world under a one world religion. They are not even hiding this information, but are actually promoting it. You can view videos about this on YouTube.
When Donald Trump made Jerusalem captial of Israel in late December 2017, the Jewish people said this was a big step for them to build this Third Temple. They even printed a Temple coin with president Trump’s face on the front with king Cyrus'(the man who built the Second Temple in the Bible) face behind him. On the back of the coin is an image of the Third Temple. They are selling these coins to raise money to build the Temple.
People have been saying for many years that the end is near, but we needed not only the Third Temple, but also the technology for there to be a cashless society for the Mark of the Beast to be a reality.
There is much more to know, please visit http://WWW.BIBLEFREEDOM.COM to see all the proof!
GOD BLESS, JESUS LOVES YOU!
