There are few things better than lighting up your weekend with music. Last Saturday, this writer was treated to the upcoming release from David Britto’s collaborative project, Arrows. The smooth and breezy indie-pop track, Wish you the best, sung by Tejas Menon will mark the fifth release of the venture since 2019. With an impending release on September 30, the song sets the tone for his new projects, which include an EP in 2023.

Britto conceptualised Arrows back in 2018. Having played bass for Mumbai blues-rock band The Tripp, he decided to work on a unique project. This led to collaborations with multiple producers and singers including The Lightyears Explode, Vernon Noronha and Siddharth Basrur. Britto admits that he prefers writing songs to singing them. The song took a while to release, he says. “I first started working on it in 2019, when a person I was close to was moving on to a different chapter of their professional life. It was a way of telling them that no matter where you are, this bond will remain.” That’s when he approached  Menon to collaborate with him.
