Dear me, it’s getting hot in here…
Track 33 from Ponies at Dawn: Ignite is Fluffy Marshmallows, a collab between BlackIceMusic, Chasing Dawn and Lennon Black! This bouncy song features great callbacks to Mantlegen’s Dirty Gem, even going as far as to use some of the same samples! Dawn delivers a smooth set of bars about Rarity’s… softness… all while the beat bounces with its catchy synth riffs and rumbly basslines. Think Rarity would dance to this one?
Part of a new “Symphonic Poem”, this musical introduction to “A Tale of Starlight” is telling the start of Starlight and Trixie’s journey, finding the lost Princess of Friendship! The epic story is so appreciated and all that mystery is so intriguing! The music does a splendid job at immersing ourselves into that setting, and making us experience the journey in a way along the ponies!
AC-527 aka DnBeanie just returned into pony music action and that’s such wonderful news!! Check out the rest of their channel to catch up with all of their past contributions to the community if you haven’t already. This new song is definitely very Equestrian with all the cute vibes, and if this heralds new regular releases from the musician then this calls for a party!
SmD House’s newest release has their signature style written all over it! The intriguing and dark vibes are fitting the depth of the artwork used in the video so well, and we could feel like we’re diving in that scene through the power of music! And the organ at the end is a very emotional touch that I appreciate a lot!
(Listen to the original here to see just how much more improved the remake is)
It is no secret that many new Musicians are heavily influenced by Linkin Park in someway, They are one of the greatest bands of the modern era of music. That can be heard in this track by Blackened Blue. The style of nu metal instrumental and percussion, but more so by the mood of this song. A young Pegasus is incredibly sad and frustrated by seeing it’s friends that can fly but it has yet too. The lyrics are very emotional and convey a bitterness about it, especially when blackened lets out his natural screaming vocals that just happens to sound like the late Chester Bennington. Absolutely phenomenal and a great way to end his self-titled EP which you can listen to Here. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Ah it’s always fun when I hear what some fresh faces with talents have to offer in the modern brony music community! BVYANX here rolls out a showcase of experimentation in Bass, Sounders and wavy synthesis! Using our beloved big brain book horse as a conduit. There is a nice degree of magical synthetics and riffs to represent Twilight playing around with electronic music along with the deep bass and hard synths with a mythical sounding melodies mixed in with the hard beats of Dubstep. Not too bad. I always enjoy a musician taking what a character represents and makes a story out of it through music. This was enjoyable. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself

There is nothing that Toby can not create and be money about it? Accurately taking the Grand theft Auto: San Andreas theme. He throws the MLP theme song into a blender with gangs, drugs and other illegal activities, prompting this result to spit itself out. A perfect instrumental hip hop, blend of ponies and GTA. it’s so good you think it’s from the actual game as a modification. Toby plays things by his rules and does what Toby does lol, All courtesy of his Shenanigans II album. As always, This Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
YeahButThenDragons paid tribute to 4EverfreeBrony‘s Fluttershy-themed track with such gorgeous vocals, in that Acapella style following the previous cover! It sounds very warm and kind, fitting to Fluttershy’s character, and all in all it sure it an awesome tribute!
A heart-warming collab for sure, this union of Cadet‘s vocal talents and JoinedTheHerd‘s instrumental skill is all about the tender love shared between Buttercup aka Pear Butter and Bright Mac. There’s even an acoustic guitar calling back to You’re In My Head Like a Catchy Song, and this is definitely a success!
-Ominous: indicating the nature of a future event, for good or evil; having the significance of an omen; being a portent.
Boy, that definition is the nature of the tag team of Soundnix and AJ Young. The calm before the storm with that atmospheric build up is simply breathtaking. And then it’s ground zero as that heavy bass drops! Those dangerous wubby and zingy riffs make you head for the hills! This track wonderfully tells the tale of the ponies in Equestria dealing with a pandemic much like we are now. While still chaotic and atmospheric, this fusion of dubstep and orchestra elements is fluid in its combination! Listen to chaos at its best musically for NSN Vol 3: Black Stable! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
