One of the artists I work with have had some life events that may force them to retire for the foreseeable future leaving their partner to pursue it alone if they choose to do so. Whats a shame about this is that we were working on a big come back from radio silence for the past 2 years. The project (short film/ music video and social media campaign) is essentially complete and is some of our best work yet. I wanted your opinion on whether or not promoting this release as a "good bye" or retirement would be of benefit or a hinderance. With so much up in the air it would be a shame to pull a Logic and "retire" for a year just to come back and make it all seem like it was just for promo and loosing trust of your fans. My other concern is that if people see this will likely be their last release they may not want to get attached to them as an artist and not engage with the content. The other option would be to use this to kick of the solo career of the other member but they do not have any real following right now and so this project would likely not get the same engagement as it would if it was posted on the page they have built together. Just wanted your perspective on this as artists and I keep going back and forth on this.

Please give me comments and feedback on my latest video. I am here to learn. I want to get better and I can take honest critique. https://youtu.be/CRE1wXUt_5A

What software do you edit your content with? I’ve been using Premiere Rush and it’s good, but lately I’ve been seeing some amazing crisp videos and I want to level up.

Although I would love for my only focus as an Artist to be “ Put out great Music / Visuals” (which comes so easy to me) we all know now a days being an Artist means being a content creator. Which on the other hand I find to be such a struggle when brainstorming “Authentic Ideas” . Am I the only one struggling with this. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how they balance both ? Am I overthinking Should I just focus on music & not being a content creator ?

Whats your opinion on a indie artists releasing singles and music videos on Fridays when the major artists do as well? Do you think that the audience being primed to expect new music outweighs the cost of competing for views with the major artists?
