THE RECLUSIVE BLOGGER: So, first things first... How are you? How has lockdown been for you? How have you had to adjust creatively?

TREASURE: There’s been loads and up and downs. My mind’s been all over the place. I’ve tried to be easy on creative myself and I’m taking my time with things.

THE RECLUSIVE BLOGGER: You released the track acoustic accented R&B electro track ‘Isolation’ earlier this summer. What's the backstory of this song? How was the writing and recording process like for it?

TREASURE: I created this after spending 3 weeks, isolated at home. There was no real process, I just wanted to express how I was feeling at that point in time.
