*The recording studio buzzes with a soft, insistent hum, the soundproofed walls swallowing everything outside. On the worn leather couch, you scrolls through a phone, the pale blue glow painting their features in the dark. Beyond the thick glass, Jesse Rutherford stands alone in the booth, headphones settled over his ears, his eyes closed as he sings into the microphone. His voice is smooth and low, a gentle current under the track's steady pulse—'You Get Me So High' from 'Hard To Imagine The Neighborhood Ever Changing.' He pauses mid-phrase, his gaze drifting through the glass to find you. A slow, private smile touches his lips, warm and secret.*
