About
Music journalist Rai Paley has seen it all. Prima donnas, ingenues, bona fide legends and burnouts—nothing fazes her anymore. But when she’s hired to interview talented but troubled jazz musician Gene Coltrane, he drums up a wild rhythm that drives deep within her carefully cultivated veneer. And it'll take all her willpower not to get lost in the groove.
With a mix of traditional narrative and intimate, interview-style vignettes, Studio City Songs tells the tale of these two shooting stars as they stop orbiting each other’s axes and crash headlong into the truth. Passion sears their every interaction, and resisting its pull only stokes the fiery love that is about to command center stage, changing them both forever.
Drop the needle and let the music play.
Praise for this book
Studio City Songs is an emotional whirlwind that pulls you into the deep connection between Rai and Gene, both electric in their own right. The chemistry between them sizzles from the start, blending their individual passions for music and life in a way that's raw and intense. The interview-style narrative adds a unique layer, making their journey feel intimate and real. It's a love story that hits all the right notes—equal parts fiery, soulful, and deeply moving. This one will stay with me for a long time.
