Cruel World is a touching, intimate song that immediately will draw fans in with alluring voals and thoughtful instrumentation. Porter Block’s latest single has an absolutely timeless approach threaded throughout, drawing in the widest possible swath of listeners. It’s hard to pigeonhole Cruel World; there are nods to 1980s pop-rock, 1990s alternative, and even bits of 1970s easy listening throughout its run time. With each subsequent single, Porter Block is able to refine things and put out stronger fare than before.
