Thunder Dash – Together In Unity | Piano Solo
In a beautiful call for a unified, loving Equestria and Earth, Thunder Dash, one of the fandom’s absolute champions of positivity, has composed this wonderful piano piece. It’s a touching tribute to the spirit of G5 and the MLP values, and I got some nice Bill Withers vibes while listening, recalling for me another great song about love and solidarity. This song is definitely its own thing, though, and Thunder Dash’s piano work has some really nice melodic progressions that seem to acknowledge the complexities of the world and the difficulty of unifying it even if it would create an obviously better world. In the end, the beautiful hope and heart of this song shines through, urging the listener to work towards a better future no matter the difficulties.
Sofia Carson – Glowin’ Up (Acid Applejack Remix) | Happy Hardcore
Alright, everypony, it’s time to get moving! Acid Applejack has taken this super slick tune from the G5 movie and pumped it up with a great happy hardcore delivery that retains the light spirit of the original. The original opening is sped up and repeated along with a nice synth melody to launch the song, and the positive intensity is maintained throughout with a sped up bassline and synths pushing the melody accompanied by uptempo percussion. The arrangement and great production gives the song a well-constructed feel, and by the time the final bass note fades out you’ll feel ready to take on the world!
Deavas – 314 | Thrash Metal
Lots of violent lyrical imagery in this one. Feel free to click ahead if you’re okay with that.
Daniel Ingram – Raise This Barn (Vale & Fl0 Remix) | Bass House
What a dark, groovy, pumped up remix! The track opens with a slick beat and distorted vocals to form the melody, which sets the tone nicely (along with the great background art!). Then the main vocals kick in, and they’ve been tweaked just enough to fit the atmosphere of the track. The buildup and the drop really get things bucking with some encouragement from Applejack courtesy of a distorted vocal chop and some really nice sound design and tasty bass. I’d bet my bits that this barn comes with an above average number of speakers and party lights!
Skyshard – The Pursuit of Magic | Hybrid Orchestral
Skyshard really knows how to craft beautiful music, and this track is no exception! The heart and inspiration from the movie really come through here, and the lovely progressions create a wonderful journey that fits the film’s top tier aesthetics. It all feels as welcoming as a Maretime Bay breeze, so tune in and drift along with this song’s beautiful passion!
Evershade – Come Along With Me | Synthpop
More G5 good vibes incoming! Originally composed as a Dustcar track, this lovely tune takes the listener on a musical tour of the inspiring locations and themes in the film. Evershade’s gentle vocals float over a sweet melody and simple beat, and the vocals, arrangement, and playful lyrics fit together perfectly. The video backgrounds match the locales as they come up in the lyrics, which is a great touch. Such a wonderful, breezy, positive song!
Luck Rock – We’re Meant to be Friends | Power Pop
Luck Rock has combined awesome, riffy guitar goodness and the positive messages of the MLP G5 movie to create this fantastic, uplifting song! Opening with an awesome sounding classic power pop arrangement, the song becomes strataspherically fantastic when Luck Rock’s amazing vocals join in. The lyrics encapsulate the premise of the movie and the artist’s love for it so well, and the whole song is unbelievably full of goodness. The end got me right in the feels by drawing out the word friends and echoing a song that we all hold near and dear. We’re not worthy!
Vylet Pony – ANTONYMPH (Evershade Remix) | House
Evershade takes on one of the biggest songs of the year with this sweet remix! This version launches straight into the vocals with in-your-face percussion, then adds in new synths that put a fun twist on the original and give the song a pulsing delivery. I enjoyed the switched up Fluttershy chops, and using the bouncy synth line that opens the original in other parts of the song was a nice touch as well. The original vocals are used creatively throughout, getting chopped around and used to build a nice chorus harmony in parts, and they sound clean despite being sped up. Overall this is a really well-made remix and a great tribute to the original!
Ocean Melody – Set Sail | Orchestral
Are you HYPE for G5 yet?! With the movie nearly upon us, this fantastic tune from Ocean Melody will definitely help you get there! The song opens with a gentle melody courtesy of strings and horns and goes through a lovely progression, adding bells and delicate percussion. There’s a nice passage where the arrangement mostly subsides to make way for some light drums, and it’s easy to imagine trotting through a sunny landscape, especially when the drums are combined with some light keys. The optimism and joy of this song is infectious and inspiring, so please give it a listen and get uplifted!
