An insider says, “Shruti has gone to London, UK, a couple of times, and has been meeting and jamming with the band members — lead singer and guitarist Matt Bigland, drummer Mike Sheils and bassist Jim Cratchley. She spent time with them and enjoyed their music, and felt that it was in line with her own musical choices.” The source adds that Shruti, who has also written songs for her former band, The Extramentals, in the past, made sure that she brainstormed on the lyrics for the tracks with the members of the British band. “Shruti is a complete musician, as she is someone who writes, composes and sings her own songs,” says the insider.
