Menon loved the song, and also took on-board production duties. He tells us, “I was just starting out as a producer. I had some experience in producing, and felt it was a good opportunity to work with a friend.” The concept was solidified in the first session itself, the singer-producer states emphatically. The result is a beautiful track that stands out for its acoustic rhythms, a light but embellished soundscape and Menon’s airy vocals. Wish you the best also outlines Menon’s deft ability at production with a clear and lively track.

For Britto, Menon was the right fit for the track. “I always pitch songs to producers/singers based on what I think they will bring to the song. This song, I thought, would suit his vibe and his voice,” he shares. The singer agrees, but adds that the chance to test his production skills with a friend was an added incentive. “Out of the number of things I do as a singer, vocalist and producer, I find the act of production to be a true realisation of the musical desire.”

Britto reveals that the next single will be a collaboration with singer-songwriter Riya Duggal, followed by an EP. “We will be releasing a brand new EP, produced by Basrur, with five completely new singles in 2023,” he confirms. Menon, meanwhile, is busy dabbling with production and singing. He will be heard on the soundtrack for Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s score of Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies. For now, they’ll be wishing each other the best.
