The New York Post is reporting that insiders are saying Jimmy Iovine is in the talks with artists about exclusively releasing their albums through Apple. With the grand success of Beyonce’s album last year, Iovine and his Beats brand, have high expectations that this would be great for other artists. Gwen has had a long career relationship with Iovine and was seen at the Apple event in September alongside Dr. Dre. There is still no release date on the album or whether it will actually be streamed exclusively.
