Bombay-based artist Arrows drops “Southern Belle”
Bombay-based musician and songwriter David Britto aka Arrows returns with a pretty acoustic ballad called “Southern Belle.”
“Southern Belle” is the song that broke Britto’s writer’s block after he found himself engulfed in fresh experiences. The song stemmed from a quote, “You deserve to be loved, even when you’re learning to love yourself,” that Britto connected with. “Southern Belle” is an ode to finding solace in people and is also meant to tell listeners that they shouldn’t be too hard on themselves during tough times.
As always, Arrows brings on collaborators, this time Brent Tauro as producer – who has previously contributed keyboard parts to Arrows songs. Apart from producing the song, Tauro also offers a beautiful piano arrangement, an emotional solo and even handles backing vocal duties. On lead vocals, Arrows tapped his former bandmate and rhythm guitarist from blues-rockers The Tripp, Rinaldo D’Souza aka rinaldo. The singer brings forth his buttery voice to the fray and it sits perfectly over Tauro’s piano and Arrows’ go-to collaborator Siddharth Basrur’s delicate acoustic guitar strumming.
Sharing more about this release, David Britto said, “I present to you 'Southern Belle,' the song that broke my writer’s block and one that is made with immense love, care and gratefulness. I hope you enjoy this late end-of-year postcard. Working with Rinaldo once again after a number of years was so nice and he did justice to the song. As for Brent, I’ve always wanted him to produce one of my songs, and I’m glad that this one worked out, he shines throughout with his piano parts across the track.”
