Off the must-have album The Old Mare And The Sea, What You Made Me Do is a very deep and emotional song about Celestia’s feelings and character depth in a certain alternate universe explained in the description. Francis’ very moving vocals are doing wonders once again to convey all the depth and force from the events unfolding and the feelings nurtured, and the instrumental isn’t lacking fitting Punk Rock vibes!

The Shake Ups In Ponyville – Hey! Hey! | Power Pop
Focusing on paying tribute to the “Fab Four” Beatles in this new release from the upcoming album Ponymania!, The Shake Ups not only composed a very lovely song in their style but also went all the way to make a full music video, even dressing as them! Full of win, this song is also a nod at drummer Pinkie along the canon ponification of the Beatles as seen in S05E11 Party Pooped (which remains one of my favorite MLP episodes ever in great part thanks to that). I even got that picture edit printed on a T-shirt!
MC-Arch & TCB – We Will Remember | Hip-Hop
Crazy masterpiece incoming! MC-Arch and TCB teamed up and both went all-out to convey beliefs and emotion with this gorgeous and impactful piece. It combines TCB’s very emotional musical style of many instruments including a guitar and pony vocal chops, with Arch’s meaningful lyrics and heartfelt vocals that tell several important and relatable messages explained in the description. A wonderful display of love and passion, We Will Remember will remain gold forever.
DoctorSympony – Dancing Through Dreamscape | Orchestral
DoctorSympony is back with a wonderful character theme of sorts for Luna and her nighttime work as the guardian of ponykind’s dreams, and it just reflects perfectly that serious-ness, ethereal nature, and a bit playful side of Luna’s personality and activity! Night-like piano and eldritch oboe set the mood perfectly and create a stunning BGM of choice to play in that map in a game if it existed, controlling Luna or following her!
[VALENTINE’S BRAINDANCE] One Track Mind – Nostalgia | Breakbeat / IDM
Noise.horse’s compilation albums are always a great chance to experiment and venture out of your comfort zone. One Track Mind being already a musician who tends to explore the paths less traveled, it makes this tune even more unique, with a quality progression of beautiful piano as well as glitchy melodies. A song grasping the essence of Nostalgia in an intricate way, it’s available as part of VALENTINE’S BRAINDANCE, a compilation album from the experimental label noise.horse that features a lovely array of talented musicians who pushed the limits extra further for Hearts and Hooves Day!
MC-Arch – Sacrifice | Hip-Hop
It’s always a very cozy and deep moment when we get a new song by the awesome MC-Arch, who always puts so much thoughts and feelings into his works! Sacrifice is reflecting the story of Mistmane from S07E16 Campfire Tales into meaningful lyrics rapped powerfully with belief, and it’s like we can just feel the musician’s strength of conviction and beauty of soul while listening to this. It’s also inspiring as always, and a great new addition to MC-Arch’s discography of heartfelt songs!
The Shake Ups In Ponyville – Magic Mirror | Power Pop
From the new album Ponymania! available for pre-order, Magic Mirror expresses through music another pony theme that is well-known in the community, that is the redemption of past villain characters, namely Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer! The band’s happy melodic style and warm vocals do wonders again to convey the fuzziness of the magic of Friendship, and that makes this song the perfect tribute!
BlueBrony – Just To See You | lo-fi Hip-Hop
BlueBrony brought us a sweet gift for Valentine’s Day, and it’s a very mellow and soothing song with meaningful words at the end of the description! Beautiful melodies over a warm atmosphere are lulling the soul to a relaxed state where happiness is easier to reach, even if you’re troubled by something. Another power of music!
Radiarc – Denouement | Soundtrack
Radiarc’s new piece is hitting right in my weakness, with such clear Soundtrack focus and inspiration. It is blending many different instruments and serving a complex progression and a rich atmosphere fitting for the many shades of depth of a story unfolding in a game where this would play. A polished gem of many wonders, to savor while going on an adventure, or relfecting with nostalgia at all the journeys walked with fellow party members!
JOSHH – Summer Sun Celebration | Trap
Remember that one episode when Celestia was telling Twilight about her suppressed feelings of sorrow about the Summer Sun Celebration and what it reminded her of? Well here’s a musical take on those dark feelings in Trap format, with JOSHH’s intricate and deep vibes much fitting to the theme, and even a vocal callback from the episode. Definitely a success, this track is another example of a pony concept brilliantly transcribed through music!
