MUMBAI: Brainchild of former ad professional Anshu Sharma, Arthjam a creative collective is ready to launch its first single “Nazraan Ve” on 24th December 2020. The track is a collaboration between Anshu Sharma, famous Bollywood lyricist Shellee who has several hit albums from Dev-D to Udta Punjab and an established playback singer Anirudh Bhola of ‘Sanam Re’ fame.
Speaking about the song Shellee says, “Anshu, challenged me to write a song that is philosophical, deep yet identifiable and simple. A couplet that has the potential of becoming an idiom. Something, that’s timelessness like a great poem. And that’s how Nazraan Ve was born. I am delighted that today we have independent music avenues that encourage us to write while remaining true to our craft”.
Musician and playback singer Anirudh Bhola emerged as a natural collaborator. Even he was looking for something that has the soul of a Sufi but not as detached and aloof. In his words, “As a music director I always feel inspired to create music for well crafted and measured words. ‘Nazraan Ve’ is is that and so much more. The music just followed the words, the rhyme and the feel of it. I received my validation when Amitabh Bhattacharya, who happens to be a common friend, liked it instantly and has been nudging us to release the song ever since.”
