Business InsiderDuring the 2015 Emmys, Apple aired a new advert featuring Kerry Washington, Taraji P. Henson and Mary J. Blige that shows off Apple Music's "For You" feature, describing it as an "instant boyfriend mixtape service."
The minute-long advert, directed by Ava DuVernay, starts with the trio bemoaning how long it takes to create a cassette-based mixtape, followed by Blige showing off Apple Music.
The advert ends with the message: "Instant boyfriend mixtape service" before promoting the $9.99/month price (£9.99/month).After the advert aired, DuVernay, who directed "Selma" and "Middle of Nowhere," took to Twitter to announce that two more ads were in the works.Apple has put a lot of time and effort into the launch of Apple Music, signing Canadian rapper Drake exclusively - for a reported £12.8 million ($20 million) - and promoting the service heavily. Over 11 million users signed up for a free account which expires after three months, meaning that Apple has to keep the interest in Music up.
