"It’s a true solo journey": Jesse Rutherford's comment on an individual music career after The Neighborhood's hiatus
In a now-deleted post dated February 2022, on Instagram, Jesse Rutherford's group, The Neighborhood announced a hiatus citing their "own health and well-being."
While the band didn't assure fans of its comeback and neither specified a date for expecting new projects from them, The Neighborhood's lead vocalist, Jesse Rutherford, maintained his solo career simultaneously. Rutherford released 2 studio albums in 2017 and 2019 called & and GARAGEB& respectively.
Moreover, shortly after the band's hiatus announcement, Jesse Rutherford was signed to Atlantic Records in March 2023. At this point, the singer released his third studio album &ONE, in August 2023. Rutherford also became the main vocalist of a band called Valley Girl.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 in March 2023, Rutherford talked about his music-making journey apart from his stint at The Neighborhood, stating:
“It’s a true solo journey, and the music is just kind of soundtracking what I’m going through in my life. And I thought it was kind of time to grow as an individual, because I’ve put a lot of my time and energy into growing within relationships, which is a great thing."
Jesse Rutherford also emphasized the need for a moment for himself, stating that his course of work as a solo artist would've taken place sooner or later. He added that his deal with Atlantic Records was the best time to push his solo work as an artist, allowing him to take some time away from touring and music.
Originally formed with Rutherford, bassist Mikey Margott, and guitarists Zach Abels and Jeremy Freedman, and drummer Bryan "Olivver" Sammis in 2011, The Neighborhood welcomed Brandon Fried as a drummer in 2014.
However, the group parted ways with the drummer in November 2022, after he was accused of inappropriately touching Maria Zardoya from the Latin indie pop band, The Marias.
