Eksoka’s pieces always have much emotion in them and sparkle with a unique magic, and this one feels especially heavenly! Very soothing for the ears and the soul alike, it warms the heart and takes us in Nature’s embrace, following Fluttershy and her hoofsteps, and loosing ourselves to the divine sound and melodies…

ShalMusicFX – The Queen’s Revenge | Synthpop
The creator of the memorable ponification track Starlight’s Demons is back, with a so very welcome song about Chrysalis, featuring vocals from the Queen of the Hive herself! The lyrics sung in that voice are really doing wonders at expressing the villains’ plea for revenge, as the lovely electronic instrumental brings its share of melodic and emotional moments!
TheWanderingKit & Drixale – B1T$H | Hip-Hop
The pony rap scene is home of some of the sickest collabs, and it’s so awesome to see rappers teaming with beat makers to produce inspired songs! Always spreading the love for pony, this one is about bits, or Equestria’s money. Drixale on the instrumental and TheWanderingKit on the vocals both did awesome to bring those tasty underground vibes and the track is so funky and cool! With visuals by yours truly!
Chiptune Brony – Date with Pinkie Pie | Soundtrack
A song about dating Pinkie, made with such a distinctive OST-like musical style? Yes please! Chiptune Brony has really done it this time, hitting my musical weak spot once again, all while giving much love to my favorite pony. You could easily see this piece playing as a BGM during a dating scene in some MLP visual novel or dating sim! No, I didn’t say eroge!
Prey – Manehattan Boulevard | Blues
To our greatest delight, Prey crafted such a delightful Blues-like instrumental! It’s got such an enthralling rhythm and all the instruments were played perfectly. And if you imagine it being performed by a band on the terrace of some cafe or pub in Manehattan, it feels even greater!
Heartsong – Amethyst Hollow | Soundtrack
What is even more incredible than a gorgeous composition crafted with love? The fact that it was made to depict a location from a full-fledged fanfic..! A teamwork with PsychicKid and his fanfic Magisight: Thaumaturgical Ocularity, this new release from Heartsong will make you explore a mysterious, crystal-filled cave that may hold a secret about the origin of magic or perhaps some meaningful message, deep within… And you get all that journey in beautiful musical form, with a delightful arrangement and breathtaking melodic parts full of OST vibes! Icing on the cake, it’s actually inspired by our shared favorite game and OST ever, Final Fantasy 9!
Luck Rock – Fandom (Africa Parody) | Soft Rock / Jazz Fusion
Definitely among my top favorite releases of the year, Luck’s new song is a shining example of a heartfelt and passionate rendition of a classic, turned into an expression of community love and dedication. The timeless Africa by Toto get a whole new meaning, and Luck’s tender vocals are making us melt as we experience such an emotional ponification. As someone who loves the original, and who can relate to so many of those feelings, I was so very moved by this, and I will keep supporting Luck, and all of you in the community, for all of my life. Thank you all for everything you do..!!
Koron Korak & Mane In Green – The Magic Inside (feat. Lena Hall) (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Orchestral
The magic inside the hearts of Koron Korak and Mane In Green resonated, and together they created such a wonderful cover of Rara’s iconic song The Magic Inside! Lena Hall‘s original vocals get sublimated once again as expert violin performance by Koron is accompanied by a breathtaking piano play by Mane. With even more instruments and creativity coming into play, it is not just a musical tribute but also a continuation of the emotions from the original from Daniel Ingram that unfolds here, and we can only commend and cheer for the talented duo who did so many wonders with this! Also notice how Koron is literally appearing on stage with Rara in the video!
Reverbrony – My Catharsis | Acoustic / Metal
Expressing even more emotion than usual in this new piece, Reverbrony shows another of the powers of music, that is to act as a Catharsis. Read the description to know more, as the might and beauty of this much progressive piece unfold, lifting your spirits and soothing your heart with many instruments and melodic parts.
TCB & Ditherer – The Closet Anthology | Album | Hip-Hop
This is an album that deserves thousands of posts! Our dear pony musicians TCB and Ditherer teamed up for the loveliest of results: a 15-tracks Hip-Hop album brimming with passion toward ponies and episodes! Why, Ditherer imagined so many rich and deep backstories and headcanon to ponies, wrote a lot of amazing and thoughtful lyrics about them, and sang them in all those themed songs! That’s a lot of pony passion and dedication and I LOVE it! Equally dedicated to the cause, TCB did amazing as well with so many instrumentals that truly shine, both in themselves and in accompaniment of the vocals, and if you know TCB you just know they have that special emotion that we get from TCB’s music and unique creativity. Each of the tracks has something special, much emotion, and a lot of love and passion to express toward ponies, but let’s mention Schism of Years about that fateful fight between the two sisters and its aftermath, In Loco Parentis about a deeper-than-ever Trixie, Farewell to Spring about Roseluck, Death in the Afternoon about Berry Punch’s drinking problems and relationships, Multiple Choice about the events of the S5 finale, and so, so many others that have so much in store for you. Grab it all from Ditherer’s Bandcamp, or listen to each track individually from Ditherer’s YouTube channel!
