Every new release by Yanamosuda is a breath of Equestrian air! And love is certainly in the air with how the talented Jazz musician is expressing his tender feelings for Fluttershy with every new piece! This smooth Lounge beauty is no exception, and is actually designed as a BGM to play when he thinks of her! That concept is just so lovely and wholesome! With the music being such a bliss for the ears, this whole release is just so commendable and I can’t praise Yanamosuda enough for what he does!
Jazz
Andy Feelin & The Stone Pit – Granny Take Me Home | Russian Chanson
If you thought you had heard everything in this musical community, think again! Andy Feelin (from Przewalskis Ponies) and The Stone Pit bring us this very creative Russian jazz/ballad fusion telling the story of Big Mac getting put on the wrong side of the law after defending the farm from thieves. The instrumentation follows a very well-composed jazz pattern with syncopated brass and saxophones playing around a sweet, smooth percussion beat. Following a Russian theme of songs about criminals, this community once again shows its creative brilliance!
Luck Rock – Fandom (Africa Parody) | Soft Rock / Jazz Fusion
Definitely among my top favorite releases of the year, Luck’s new song is a shining example of a heartfelt and passionate rendition of a classic, turned into an expression of community love and dedication. The timeless Africa by Toto get a whole new meaning, and Luck’s tender vocals are making us melt as we experience such an emotional ponification. As someone who loves the original, and who can relate to so many of those feelings, I was so very moved by this, and I will keep supporting Luck, and all of you in the community, for all of my life. Thank you all for everything you do..!!
Daniel Ingram – Becoming Popular (Cyan Lightning Remix) | House
Such a very welcome remix of Rarity’s song Becoming Popular that Cyan Lightning presents us here, with much jazzy vibes fitting to the theme from the original song and the Canterlot atmosphere! A real gem, and a wonderful gift to Rarity! And not only the track, but the vector of Rarity in the video was drawn by Cyan Lightning himself, based on a sketch by Aureai!
Night Symphony – Shadow Spade [Jazz]
A character theme for Shadow Spade and Rarity’s passion for the Equestrian novels as seen in S05E15 Rarity Investigates, this gem from Night Symphony is a real bliss, and fits so well to the mood of a detective story!
GhostXb – Reclamation | Jazz / Hip-Hop
Smooth, progressive, emotional all the way, GhostXb’s newest piece is a magnificent display of creativity and skill, as many different instruments and even choruses are making for a soft yet intense experience of sound. 5 minutes of pure bliss for the soul!
Radiarc – What Was | Alternative / Jazz
“Something went very wrong here” Melancholy is thick in the air here and an unsettling mysterious melody takes us on a journey through a metropolis abandoned by civilization, yet, teeming with life. This piece will envelop you with emotion and intricate detail and will leave a lingering question in your mind. “Where did everything go wrong?”
Arabesque Sympony – Jolly Ol Saint Nick (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Big Band
Arabesque Sympony shows off his clever musical skills in this track covering Spike’s feature from the MLP Holiday Album. The jazzy, swingin’ piece is recomposed brilliantly, allowing the bright brass tones to shine through, but not so much that it distracts from Sympony’s wonderful vocals. He even subtly adds Spike’s original vocals in at the end as a great accent to the track!
Radiarc – Here we are | Chillout / Hybrid Orchestral
“And here we’ll be, until life brings us elsewhere.”
Polishing up this elegant and laid back piece, Radiarc gives us a soothing perspective of life through song. I’ve always been amazed at what comes from this artist, the fine details and atmosphere painted; melding together ethnic, jazz, orchestral, and electronic elements to create something organic, alive. I find myself lost and thinking back on the hardships faced in life up until this point. Yet I’m still here. We’re still here. Through joy, through sadness, reminiscence, and hope we carry on. As our stories continue, just beyond the horizon.
Reverbrony – Summer Kiss | Latin Jazz
Now here’s the perfect Sunset Shimmer theme to listen to while chilling in some latino bar. You sit there at the terrace, sipping on some sweet and refreshing cocktail… And then a sexy girl giving off massive cool vibes as well walks from the busy main street in your direction, with a short skirt and eyes burning with desire, and that girl is Sunset! Yep, this is the sort of scene that this song and visuals could evoke, with the blissful acoustic guitars soothing your mind, and the flirty sax bringing in that fragrant sensation from a Summer Kiss!
