When it comes to the music industry, Rai Paley has seen it all.

Prima donnas, ingenues, bona fide legends and burnouts-as a veteran journalist, 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.

Gene Coltrane is a rolling stone. His music propels him through a spotlit whirlwind of fame, women, and more than his fair share of trouble without so much as a backward glance. But one look into Rai Paley's eyes stops him cold. Now she's the only light he can see.

With a mix of traditional narrative and intimate, interview-style vignettes, Studio City Songs tells the tale of these two shooting stars as they finally 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.
