Introducing DBL

Hello!

As most of you know, I love music! I go to a lot of concerts and live performances. I listen to all types of music and I'm always keen to check out new artists and bands. A few days ago, I was scrolling through Instagram and came across a cool singer called D.B.L. A snippet of the music video for his single 'Another Round' caught my attention. I quickly went on YouTube to watch the full video and all I could say was "Wow'!

This past weekend, I spent some time searching the internet for information on D.B.L and in this post, I will tell you a little about him and talk about the 'Another Round' music video.

  • D.B.L is from St Lucia. 
  • He is a protege of the famous musical family the Jacksons.
  • When he was just a child, he was discovered by Jackie Jackson on stage during a Disney Production and was invited to the Jackson family's mansion to audition for a singing group. 
  • His music has been featured television shows and commercials.
  • D.B.L. is signed to Jackie Jackson's record label Critically Amused.
  • He considers his music multi-cultural with no specific genre attachment. 

So now that you know a little bit about him, let's move on to the music video.

The video for Another Round opens with D.B.L and other people dancing by a pool and women in swimsuits. Half of the video is set in a beautiful location with pools, palm trees and a mansion which could be a holidays house or resort. Seeing this location and the people sitting at tables, socializing and sipping on drinks gives us serious summer vibes. The song has a hip-hop meets Jamaican reggae sound. I will admit that I have listened to it a few times and it makes me want to go to back to my dance studio and try the Reggaeton dance class! I'm a hopeless dancer but it would be cool to learn. The second half of the video is set inside a house at a party. It looks like there is a little love story going on, with a beautiful lady entering the party and sparking D.B.L's interest. They dance together and are seen walking out hand-in-hand and embracing. 

When I hear the song and watch the video, I can close my eyes and picture having a pool party with all my friends relaxing poolside with drinks in our hands with this song playing or jamming to it during a road trip. Even as I sit here at my desk, I am moving along to the beat. It is a very catchy track which I think people of all ages will enjoy. It will definitely be added to my summer playlist. 

This video is absolutely amazing. Jackie Jackson produced it so of course it is and D.B.L is wonderful. I can tell that he is passionate about what he does. As well as singing, he is really good at dancing too. All the other people in the video are beautiful and look very talented. They have some great dance moves. 
I think the world can expect great things from D.B.L. I look forward to hearing more music from him and I hope he comes to Sydney, Australia one day so I can see him live.



Everyone should go watch the video on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efWLl3Bj4lU and follow him on Instagram @realdbl. 

Have a great week!

Vishi xoxo

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
