This song pretty much has it all: awesome electronic music, incredible vocals, a good story, and a little bit of dubstep. Definitely a great take on the original, with the new music building into a great addition to the original vocals.
Luna Jax – As The Thunder Rolls By (4EverfreeBrony Cover)|Acoustic
After a long hiatus, Luna Jax has released his beautiful rendition of 4everfreebrony’s As The Thunder Rolls By, and it is truly wonderful. Tastefully played acoustic guitar, with relaxing clean vocals all combine to make a relaxing and soothing track to listen too, especially in tough times. Take a listen!
Vylet Pony – Healing | Dream Pop
I really need to listen to Vylet’s album Love Letters: Colourless. When you think of Rainbow Dash, and the vast amount of brony music made about her, there is a lot of energetic, fast pace, songs that fits her character. Healing is a really nice change of flavor to the more stereotypical tracks.
Vylet Pony has made something soft and uplifting. The melodies are like a powerful wave of inspiration – very reminiscent of Rainbow Dash! The lyrics evoke emotions of her struggles. Vylet’s voice is so good over the harmonies, they make you feel like you’re in a dream watching the story take place. The message of Healing is powerful and wise. You need time to heal, time away from everything to put the pieces back together. Do yourself a favor and check out this song + Vylet’s album!
John Doe – Sweet Home | Soundtrack
New Pony Town music! Treat yourself in this relaxing collage of plucked strings, flute, and piano. The plucked strings set a celestial tone, the reverberant brass sets a grand query, and the flute and percussion answer it. The piano and strings then ride along until a new query comes about. Combined with the familiarity of Pony Town, this music won’t let you down in any armchair scenario.
Nyancat380 – Paranoia | Skullstep
This track has a slow, kind of ominous build up to quick drum/bass-esque segments with calm parts in between. It also has lines of dialogue from the show mixed in, which in my opinion really adds to the atmosphere of the song. Overall a good piece of music if you like hardcore, dark stuff!
Equestria Electric Symphony Orchestra – Friends Matter | Pop
Moon Flame, powered by the magic of friendship, has woven together another lovely tune! Much like his other material, this one takes influence from 80s pop ballads, from the slow pace to the synth melodies in the background. Flame sings about friendship, a topic near and dear to him; no matter where life can bring you, friendship always triumphs in the end!
Daniel Ingram – A Better Way to be Bad (Tw3Lv3 Remix) | Dubstep / Riddim
This remix of “A Better Way to be Bad” perfectly mixed original lyrics with high-energy dubstep music to give a fresh take on the season 9 song. The gradual build-up followed by the fantastic bass drop combines for an epic track. Without a doubt a very good and memorable remix!
Frozen Night – Crescentiform (feat. Velvet R. Wings) | Orchestral / Symphonic Metal
Epic battle theme time? I think it’s epic battle theme time.
Just imagine, you’re just a Kirin, walking a lonesome path along the outer boundaries of the forest surrounding your village in the dwindling twilight. Suddenly, you are attacked by some strange creatures as they come at you from the forest, blasting you with magic bursts. You leap to evade their attacks and fires back, blinding them with your own magic. The battle won’t end until either you fall in battle, or when you’ve defeated them all in defense of your village.
This track gives me a very “Child of Light”-ish vibe, in a good way, of course. The soft but intense orchestral instruments blends with the strong electric guitar riffs to become one amazing treat for the listener with an adventurous ear. Kudos for Frozen Night and Velvet R. Wings for delivering this amazing track!
Checkerëd – Appleshake (General Mumble Remix) | Psybounce
Checkerëd’s first release in a year, and it’s a remix of an older song from fandom veteran General Mumble! While it puts a new spin on the old classic, it keeps some elements of the original track, such as samples from the show and… you can probably guess the other thing. Anyway, for fans new and old, this is a bouncy, enjoyable tune that’ll no doubt shake up the club!
DivinumX – Love Me Cheerilee (Covering WoodenToaster & The Living Tombstone) | Metal
Quite possibly my favorite metal musician in the fandom, DivinumX, has come through with a rockin’ cover of a vintage brony song and, when you’ve been in the fandom as long as I have, it’s always a treat to hear new spins on the classics. This cover of the original Glaze and Tombstone collab features a rock-solid metal rendition of the tune, with a rippin’ solo to boot, so any fans of the original (or any metal lover) should be more than pleased!
