I tell people if it aint broke don't fix it.
Finding a solution is the way to go.
R&B is never going to be dead, it's just going to evolve.
People are still hearing your music. They might not be buying it, but they might be having it and you don't know it. Your music is still out there.
If this is what you love and music is your passion, it's always ways to get through things and find ways to get around things.
Two people working on a relationship with the same energy & passion increases the chances of great results.
