Rihanna has made her new studio album, Anti, available for download for free. TIDAL subscribers can already stream the album in full on the service, but if you want to have a copy of Anti as either MP3s or FLAC files, head over to TIDAL and input the code “ANTI.” It should already be prefilled.

— tay tay (@whenwillyourfav) January 28, 2016TIDAL is offering 60 day trial subscription of its service as well with the free download, with no credit card required. Rihanna’s new album will be a TIDAL exclusive for a week according to Entertainment Weekly , and a deluxe edition with three new more tracks will be released on Friday, according to Consequence of Sound .
Rihanna didn’t include multiple singles she released in run-up to Anti’s release, including the eternally poignant “ Bitch Better Have My Money .” Anti does however include Rihanna’s cover of Tame Impala’s “ New Person Same Old Mistakes ,” Rihanna’s curiously similar (it sounds exactly the same) rendition being called “ Same Ol’ Mistakes .” Other notable stand out tracks on Anti include “Consideration,” featuring SZA, and “Work,” featuring Drake.
TIDAL had a bit of snafu yesterday, when they released Anti before taking it down within 20 minutes , according to Consequence of Sound. This had the effect of leaking Rihanna’s track list to the public, which may or may not have had an influence on TIDAL’s and Rihanna’s decision to release the album today temporarily for free.
