Turquoise Splash – A Splash of Color | Pop Punk Album

Turquoise Splash has been in the fandom since its peak days. He wrote songs like Polychromatic, The Twilight Will Rise, and So Much Left To See. You may also know Canterlot Nights, a collaboration between him & Forest Rain. Despite having produced quite a few songs over the years, he never produced an album.

Until now! You may have expected something acoustic, but instead, A Splash of Color is 41 minutes of pure pop punk. Sit back and enjoy the full spectrum of youthfully energetic joy and angst (I mean that in the best possible way). Half the songs feature other famous artists from the fandom, making this is a real group effort.

MC-Arch & Vylet Pony – Butterfly Effect (ft. Namii & SnugBugVA) | Drill/Hip-Hop

What do you get when one of the fandom’s most talented producers collaborates with one of the fandom’s most talented rappers? If you picked an epic song, you’d be right! Vylet’s synth choices layered with piano, strike an emotional chord and give the track an Undertale-like feel. This fits in perfectly with MC-Arch’s lyrics about refusing to be a perpetrator or a bystander and instead continuing to fight for his dreams. His delivery is outstanding per usual, resulting in a powerful but incredibly heartfelt track.

Wooden Toaster – RAINBOW FACTORY (GNG REMIX) | Brazilian Funk/Phonk

GNG’s remix of the fandom classic “Rainbow Factory” by Wooden Toaster takes all the electrifying energy of the original and funnels into an equally potent banger which sounds like it came straight off the floor of the factory itself! The kick is unbelievably powerful, its percussive elements sound like hacking saws, and its synths sound like alarms going off, giving this quite the industrial vibe. It’s an absolutely great listen for anyone wanting a piece which packs an extra punch.

Vale & FL0 | avast_wholesome_peach.mp3 | Dubstep

It maybe April Fools, but this song is no joke, just 100% fun internet vibes. Vale & FL0 have made a remix of a remix, paying homage to both the original Kitsune^2 track as well as Wooden toaster’s rendition. Expect your Fluttershy “yay” chops but infused with dubstep wubs, and then toss those expectations out the window when the piano solo hits. Perhaps a second meme song might even sneak in. Either way, it’ll be hard to get through this one without breaking out smiling.

Ice Angel, Zythiria and Skyshard invite you to a relaxing and soothing timeout from your sorrows with “A Long Journey”. The three form a lovely ambient soundscape with the noises of birds and streams woven between the serene music, slowly building up the instrumentation while never loosing the calm foundation the song was created upon. This arrangement cocoons you in a wonderful way such that the 4 minutes the track asks of you passes in an instance.

BGM & Vul – Party of One | Rock

Party of One is a sock-hoppy party song about Pinkie Pie’s isolation, ironically produced as a team effort between Vul and BGM. This fun song hearkens back to an episode of the same name (S1:E25) in which Pinkie finds herself parting with a roomful of inanimate objects as she feels her friends have all rejected her. This song does a great job of capturing the energy of that particular party, which was simultaneously frantically tragic and hilarious, and only by listening to the lyrics does one realize how truly sad the situation is. The track is a truly exciting piece and is worth the listen.

VioletWire – ONCE AGAIN | Synthwave

VioletWire’s “ONCE AGAIN” is a deep, dark and introspective song about Twilight Sparkle, as she’s portrayed in Eakin’s “Hard Reset” fanfiction. This tune features a groovy bassline with a fantastic tone, lots of fun percussion elements, and some phenomenal vocal effects work and lyric writing prowess on full display! The instrument choices and vocal tone also remind me of some of my favorite works by Aviators, and if you enjoy their discography, this song will make a wonderful addition to your playlist!

The contrast between the brooding verses and the hard-hitting choruses creates an electrifying push-and-pull dynamic that keeps the energy high and the listener engaged.
