Moon Song – Ensnared | Pop

Right from the start, Moon Song’s simple drum kicks and chopped up vocals will have you “Ensnared” in her melancholic melody! While the song’s instrumentation is definitely not to be forgotten, what stuck out to me were the timid yet fierce vocals, which really help provide a sense that these are Fluttershy’s innermost emotions flooding to the surface. Combining that with the instrumentation–a well-mixed concoction of soft piano, poppy synths, and an ever-changing drum track that offers some fun surprises–Moon Song provides us with a tune that is simultaneously heartbroken and uplifting!

SCR4TCHK4T – kittygirl!~ | Future Bass

SCR4TCHK4T’s latest release is a cute and bouncy future bass track! Laced with vocal chops throughout, the track blends together a variety of different electronic sounds. The intro is smooth and mellow with a lovely splash of ePiano, before adding some bright synths and the classic D&B beat implemented with minimalist sounds that slide very nicely into the mix! The main drop is preceded by a really cool build up with the synths ascending in a way that makes it sound de-tuned, building up a lot of tension before delivering us. Afterwards, there’s some energetic chip tune stabs and drum features. Nicely done!

Ethan Toavs – Starcatcher, The Magnificent | Orchestral

Ethan Toavs presents us with another wonderful orchestral composition, this one based on the G3 pony Starcatcher! The piece begins with a majestic fanfare before springing into a lively solo played by an instrument most of us have never heard before, the Bulgarian kaval! The middle section is my favorite however—every instrument drops out suddenly to reveal a celesta playing over a dreamy, barely audible choral ‘ahhhh’. It’s absolutely gorgeous before picking back up into a triumphant brass finale!

EveryDayDashie – A Celtic Pony Encounter | Epic Celtic Orchestral

EveryDayDashie has been on fire as of late, weekly releasing pony tunes in a wide variety of genres ranging from electronic to rock to orchestral. This week’s uplifting pony tune, “A Celtic Pony Encounter,” is inspired by Sunny Starscout’s journeys through Equestria. The piece features an upbeat Celtic melody supported by drums, fiddle, bamboo flute and dulcimer. A gentle interlude in the middle of the piece hovers briefly, reflecting the inspired beauty of the Celtic landscape, but soon relaunches into a crescendo of highland adventure!

Thunder Dash – This Is How A Unicorn Dreams (Izzy’s Lullaby) | Orchestral/Ambient

Borrowing from Izzy Moonbow’s “Fit Right In” from MLP’s “A New Generation,” Thunder Dash’s “This Is How a Unicorn Dreams” combines the gentle, soothing vibes of ambient music with orchestral sounds suggestive of ethereal pipe organs, softly punctuated by airy bells. The piece feels cathedral-like and dignified, like a wedding procession of hopeful dreams. With gentle piano carrying the lullaby’s main melody, an array of humming choirs, crystalline chimes and other dulcet tones support the melody to create a dreamy, mystical, magical feel worthy of getting lost in.
