Disclosure, Elton John, Jaden Smith To Host Beats 1 Radio Shows
Apple Music just fired off a star-powered salvo in its bid to convince the streaming public that it’s a truly unique subscriber experience. In a feature on former BBC Radio staple and current Beats 1 leader Zane Lowe, The New York Times revealed that Drake and Pharrell won’t be the only music stars with hosting gigs on the streaming radio station. Elton John, Disclosure, Dr. Dre (his show is called The Pharmacy), Jaden Smith, St. Vincent and Josh Homme will all preside over their own programming blocks.
Anyone who follows Jaden on Twitter or is aware that he wore a white Batman outfit to Kanye West and Kim Kardashian‘s wedding knows that giving him that kind of platform could lead to some God-level bizarreness. For real this might be the thing that sways me to pony up and subscribe to Apple Music.
In a less persuasive announcement, Lowe revealed that the reclusive Eminem would be his first Beats 1 interview subject, with the chat premiering next week.
