Musiq, who is also working on a side project with his band, doesn't feel any pressure to follow-up his two hit albums. The singer said he just tries to do his best each time. "I don't look at things like that," Musiq said. "I just do what I do and try to do it at the best of my ability and hopefully people will respond to it the way that they do. I mean the people are not stupid you know. If you treat them like people that you know they know what they want, you know. Allow them the privilege and the opportunity and the full range to make their own choices. Don't try to think for them."
Musiq believes that as long as he gives it his best and stays true to himself people will accept him. "Just do you and people will appreciate you and accept you for who you are," Musiq said. "I mean they may be bold words but this is how I feel you know what I'm sayin'? If people just automatically for some reason don't feel me no more, I mean I really too much can't control that because I'm doing me."
