Review: Cruel by Instereo

Hello!



It looks like 2018 is the start of something new for Instereo, who are now a duo since Ethan Karpathy left the group in December. On Friday 12th January, Chris Lanzon and Jakob Delgado released their new song, Cruel, which Ethan co-wrote before he left.
Chris and Jakob have re-introduced themselves to their fans with a fresh new sound.
When you listen to the track, you can hear Chris and Jakob's different and unique voices, which have matured greatly. The boys have worked very hard to polish and strengthen their vocals. It is evident in their delivery of Cruel and they blend well together.
The lyrics of the song tell a story about girlfriends and their sometimes psychologically manipulative behaviour. It is very different to the songs they have released in the past. This song shows that they are not kids anymore, they are now almost adults.
Instereo and their team have done an amazing job on the production of Cruel. The more you listen to it, the more keen you will be to hear more new music. I believe that people of all ages will enjoy Cruel. If you haven't heard of Instereo before, you should definitely check them out.
Congratulations Chris and Jakob! I also have to give Ethan credit too, as he was a part of the production. We can't wait to see what Instereo will do next!
Cruel is available now on ITunes and Spotify!

Vishi xoxo

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Time To Break Away

In 2018, I introduced you all to an incredible singer from St Lucia, D.B.L, who I found while scrolling through Instagram. I have quietly kept up with all his news, he has done so many amazing things. In October 2025, D.B.L released a single called Time To Break Away and, in this post, I am going to share my thoughts on the song and video with you.  Time To Break Away by D.B.L Image from Genius Time To Break Away explores the themes of rebellion, overcoming struggle and escaping negativity and talks about serious conflict we see happening in the world. Listening to the lyrics makes me feel emotional, and I think everyone who listens to it will feel something.  "You have to go to sleep with one eye open The rebel’s on the prowl to search for victim You got to know the rules or else it’s the end Now look at what’s around you all the bloodshed The propaganda spread the lies that dem spread The bigotry deceit to hide the problem Hypocrisy me me can’t understand I think about the c...
