[P@D] Foozogz & 4EverfreeBrony – Fire Of Friendship (feat. Mei) | Electro Pop
Track 31, of P@D: Ignite is another series finale inspired gem I tell ya. This song’s message is quite simple. Friendship, Special ones can change everything. It opens doors. It fills empty holes in yourself. It gives you life again. It saves lives, like it has so many in this fandom. Channeling Twilight from “The last problem”.Foozogz and 4Everfreebrony‘ sing in harmony some powerful stuff. The music itself is a charming and upbeat beat that synths together with a little bit of Pop. Electro and classic rock. Throw in a 80’s style guitar solo just for kicks. Then you have an amazing pop ballad that reminds you what matters in life. It’s a soulful track that brings the reason we love this fandom front and center with good music making at its core. As always. this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
[P@D] Whirly Tail & John Kenza – God of the Seas | Hardstyle
(This article is co-written by DrakeEmberHeart and Cynifree)
This I am not going to lie. This is one my most anticipated tracks of P@D: Ignite. Whirly Tail is someone I really owe a lot to. That really helped me when I was first bought onto Horse Music Herald, Trying to be a better writer, he was very good at making me feel welcome and aiding me with my work.
So when I saw him make this album and collabing a track with the one and only John Kenza!. I knew, I wanted to be the one to write the article for his track. And what a track it is at 47, on the album. The track is given a vibe old Equestra in the days of war with creatures like the Wendigo’s. Whirly’s unique style of music captures a battle going on the rough sea’s of Equestria. The feeling of flow of the fight goes, as you get some intense ups and down’s with how the melodies go. All the elements used really brings out your imagination, your emotions if you close your eyes and feel. The intensity of the high points. The drama of low points, The uncertainty in the middle. John Kenza comes in to aid in this tale with his own magic sprinkled all over this track adding to the fight. Especially at the first drop which drives the drama of track way up with a sense of emergency. Whirly with John Kenza’s help has created such a remarkable blend of epic sounding quantity. More then anything this track shows just how brilliant Whirly Tail is as an composer! I am so proud of you buddy! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself. But…I am not the only one with a say in this. Here is Cynifree. Take it away my friend.
Cynifree’s review: I personally really love the progression of this one. These two did an awesome job conveying a story here the energetic drops, the diverse bridges and melodic energy has all the thumping party energy you could want from a hardstyle track with just the right amount of melodic vibes you’d get from a house track. Like Drake stated, these two really mesh well together and rightfully deserves its spot on the album. This has something for everyone!
From both of us Whirly Tail. Your at another level and both of us could not be happier for you.
[VibePoniez] 7th Stive – Blank | Trip-Hop
There’s a new compilation in town. Track 5 from the newly released VibePoniez album Skyscrapers is Blank, a trip-hop track from 7th Stive. Nothing but chill vibes from this one, as we’re treated to some soft arpeggiated 90s-influenced synths and a low rumbling bass behind a very familiar drum sample. The only thing wrong is that this wasn’t the 7th track. Missed opportunity, guys!
Lianella Stilson – Rn’R | Moombahcore
Let’s make some party?
Lianella Stilson’s music can easily go from relaxing to heavy-hitting depending on the song, and this one could easily fit in the former category. Rn’R is all about making the most of a bad situation, and that you will make it through it. With Lianella’s electronically-charged voice, powerful bass growls and the crazy visual of a pony holding on above a flashing city, there’s nothing you can’t get into with this one!
Snow Swirl – Still Dawn | Drum & Bass
Snow Swirl’s exploration of DnB continues with what is indubitably one of my favorite releases from the musician: a chilly yet quite emotional song about Trixie traveling on her own and depicting her character depth! Inspired by this artwork, the gorgeous piece echoes its title with a mystical atmosphere and soundscape making you feel like you’re out there in the wild witnessing the Dawn, and like you’re Following Her Hoofsteps. A masterpiece of concept for sure!
Cynifree & Zizkil – From Here To Where (Extended Mix) | Progressive House / Complextro
Extending the emotion and the Autum Blaze musical wonders even more, Cynifree and Zizkil made a breathtaking 10-minutes version of their masterpiece From Here To Where (that got its VIP featured in A State of Sugar Waffle), released on the ASOS channel with bouncy and cool visuals to go along with it! It’s Christmas at every release with A State of Sugar! Kudos to the musicians for such a gift!!
Intersekt – Hurricane (feat. Koa) | Drum & Bass
Intersekt returns with their first original single in a year, and boy was it worth the wait. Hurricane is a strong drum n’ bass track with atmospheric piano chords and strong basslines, combined with the beautiful guest vocals from Koa, singing about struggles and anxiety. There’s a powerful drop with heavy warbling bass sounds that even keeps the melody with a piano, making it sound relaxed yet strong at the same time. Check out the drop three minutes in; it’s crazy!
brambleshadow4 – Hyperactive | Chiptune
Ready for some Pinkie-inspired craziness? Hyperactive is brambleshadow4’s latest outing, and it feels like a journey inside Pinkie’s erratic and unpredictable mind. The track starts off with a fast chiptune arpeggio which gradually speeds up as the drums join in. The main melody remains catchy and speedy and doesn’t let up until the end; honestly, it gives me Touhou vibes! After almost 5 months of being left in the shadows, it’s nice to see such a fast piece get put out!
Daniel Ingram – Pony I Want To Be (PonyBoy441 remix) | Electro House
“Crusaders of the Lost Mark” is one of the highlights of season 5. The music alone is a treat of Daniels Ingrams work. The “pony I want to be is one of those songs” you really did not see coming for Diamonds Taria’s character ark. This remix is from a brand new musician PonyBoy441. With some crafty editing and some electro house vibes. We are shown Diamonds Taria’s transformation and redemption in an uplifting mix. That screams her overcoming her past and the victory of the moment. I hope to see PonyBoy441 grow as we hear more music from him. As always, this Qilin askes for you to judge for yourself.
