Singer/Songwriter Robert LaRoche Releases New Music
I’m no stranger to Robert LaRoche’s songwriting. Longtime songwriter, solo artist, and frontman for The Sighs, LaRoche enjoys a well-deserved reputation as a songwriter’s songwriter who commands respect from his peers and has a devoted following stretching back years. I approached his new solo release Forevermore with excitement. My faith in his abilities proved well-placed as LaRoche serves up ten songs rich with the accumulated experiences of a lifetime and brimming with the same unique talents that have secured his place in the modern indie music scene. For those familiar with him, Forevermore is a reaffirmation of his gifts while, for newcomers, it gives them an excellent place to start their discovery of his work.
Acoustic guitar is integral to this album and “Steal Your Heart” announces that from the first. This isn’t a folky singer-songwriter effort, however, as LaRoche’s decades-long experience fronting bands serves him well here and elsewhere. It’s a full-throated ensemble performance replete with satisfying changes and a lyric that veers between aching affection and borderline heartbreak. Zonder Kennedy’s guitar solo puts a fiery exclamation point on “Burn That Kingdom Down”, the album’s second song, but LaRoche’s lyrics are equally impressive. He writes and sings as if this were one of those songs that took a week or so to write and two decades to live. The sense of stakes is audible from beginning to end.
“Forevermore” is a strong title song. LaRoche aims for more of a mood piece with this cut and the diverse instrumentation he utilizes for the collection surfaces here in a pronounced way. He frames the unattainable object of LaRoche’s desire at the heart of this song in tasteful poetic lyrics that he’s well suited for conveying with his voice. Vocal harmonies play an important role in fleshing out many of Forevermore’s songs and sweeten the obvious vulnerability underlying a song such as “Safter Inside”. It adopts the same semi-brisk pace as many of the release’s other songs but never feels rushed.
He serves up a nuanced song about lost love with “Temporary Virtue” and mature listeners will appreciate his unique take on the subject. There’s heartache and regret galore throughout this lyric. LaRoche and the sensitive arrangement conspire well to communicate those emotions. It lays his heart bare in a more direct fashion, at least musically than some of the preceding songs while being no less effective. The rueful “Traitorous Heart” gains a lot of traction from the contrasting laid back character of its arrangement and LaRoche’s scornful lyrics. He lays out betrayal and undermining behavior in a matter of fact manner. There are hints of the underlying resentment, however, provided by the song’s electric guitar passages.
This is a thoroughly successful release from beginning to end. Robert LaRoche deserves fulsome praise for his ability to write about a subject as old as song itself, love, in such an individualistic fashion. He isn’t remaking the songwriting wheel with Forevermore, but he pours old wine into new bottles with a skillfulness that deserves our applause and attention.

How To Contact Instagram Support in 2025 Through Email
Instagram has billions of users worldwide, making it one of the most popular social media platforms. However, with so many users, cases of losing access to their accounts, disabled ads, and policy violations are widespread. That’s why we decided to share how to contact Instagram Support in 2025 through email. The main hurdle for users is reaching out to Instagram’s support team via email. Previously, Instagram users used [email protected], but this email no longer works for support in 2025. Check out this article: How to Get Your Music Featured on Spotify Playlists in 2025
Here’s how to reach Instagram support via email or other means in 2025, broken down step by step.
Does Instagram Have an Email Support?
Many users search for Instagram’s official email to fix their issues, but Instagram no longer offers direct email support for general inquiries. The old [email protected] email is unmonitored and unresponsive.
Still, Instagram does have dedicated email addresses that you can try if your issue falls into one of those categories. These include media and press inquiries: [email protected]. [email protected]—Copyrights are for copyright and intellectual property disputes. [email protected]—Used at times for support but will not always respond. [email protected]—For business and advertisement-related inquiries. Check out this article Why Artists Should Submit Their Music Directly to Honk Magazine
Contact Instagram’s Help Center
Email support doesn’t work reliably, so going to Instagram’s Help Center at https://help.instagram.com is your best bet. Official forms to make inquiries in the following areas can be found here:
Account recovery (for hacked or disabled accounts)
Ad appeal requests
Policy violations
Impersonation issues
Technical bugs
To reach Instagram through the Help Center:
Visit https://help.instagram.com
Find the solution to your issue using the search bar
Complete a formal support request form if it’s needed
Contact Instagram through In-App Support
Instagram offers in-app support to contact for help. Here’s how:
Log on to Instagram. Open the app and visit your profile
Click on the top right three-line menu (☰)
Select Settings and Privacy.
Scroll down to Help and tap Report a Problem.
Provide details about your issue and submit the request.
This may be the quickest way to elicit a response from Instagram’s support team.
How to Appeal for a Disabled Instagram Account
If your account has been disabled, you won’t be able to log in. But you can appeal by completing an Instagram account recovery form instead:
Go to https://help.instagram.com/368191326593075
My Instagram Account Was Disabled Fine.
Enter your full name, email, and username, and explain why your account should be restored.
[NOTE: You may be asked to send a photo of yourself holding a verification code.]
Please wait for a response to your email (it could be several days or weeks).
Reach Instagram Support Via Social Media
Instagram lacks email support but responds on official social media handles. A lot of users have had success by contacting Instagram’s official accounts on Twitter and Facebook:
Twitter: @Instagram (Twitter generally deals well with customer complaints.)
Facebook: You can also message Instagram on its official Facebook page.
Instagram: If you haven’t another account, comment on their posts and tag them to get noticed.
A few users have suggested that commenting on Instagram’s official posts from another account is more likely to get you a response.
How to Contact Instagram for Ad Problems
If you receive disabled or rejected Instagram ads, you can appeal directly to the Facebook Business Manager.
You can visit https://www.facebook.com/business/help.
Select Get Support, then Ads.
Choose your problem (ad rejection, payment issues, etc.).
You fill out an appeal, and Instagram’s ad team reviews it.
If you have a business account and go through Facebook Business Manager, you can also have live chat support (this can also lead to a quicker response).
Be Careful Of Scams And Phishing Emails
Since most users are desperate to contact Instagram support, scammers benefit from it by sending fake emails. Here’s what to do to protect yourself:
Never respond to emails claiming to be from Instagram if you did not request these emails.
Pay close attention to the email address of the person contacting you. All legitimate Instagram emails will be from an address ending with @instagram. com or @facebook. com.
Avoid sharing sensitive details like passwords. Instagram will never send you an email asking for your password.
As of 2025, the email option to contact Instagram support is no longer the best choice. Instead, users should contact Instagram through the Help Center, in-app support, and social media.
However, the official portal provides the proper steps to take, and if your account has been disabled, the only way back is to fill out that form. If ads are your issue, using Facebook Business Manager is your best friend.
If Instagram doesn’t offer a resolution, these methods can give you a better chance of getting a solution to your Instagram-related issues. If your problems are resolved, please come back to this article and drop a comment on how you went about it. So other people will learn from it.
