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.
Misc
4EverfreeBrony – Pain | Acoustic
4EverFreeBrony’s Pain is a folksy sort of song in the best possible way, like a lullaby in its sincerity, but lively with its guitar and upbeat traveler’s tempo.
His voice brings a certain rawness and vulnerability, and speaks a truth about themselves, about someone they love, and the nature of existence. It is a truly heartfelt song which everyone will enjoy.
CarlyIsSleepy – The Hearth’s Warming Song (covering Owl City) | Pop
It may not be hearth’s warming any more, but don’t let that stop this wonderful song from bringing you good cheer this winter! A ponified version of Owl City’s song, CarlyIsSleepy’s cover swaps in an e-piano which fits nicely with the auto-tuned vocals, and gives us an extra dose of jingle bells. Carly’s and PegasYs’ vocal performances add so much warmth to the track, and overall it sparkles just as much as falling snowflakes. Nicely done you two!
Mane in Green – Onward | Orchestral
Mane in Green always manages to bring sceneries and stories to life in one’s mind through their orchestral storytelling, and “Onward” is no exception to this. The full range orchestral sound slowly guides you onto its path and takes you passenger on its journey. While it was created as part of a larger context with Mane in Green’s awakening album, Onward easily can stand on its own with its uplifting and almost heroic sound, so give it a listen!
EveryDayDashie – The My Little Pony Symphony (40th Anniversary Reorchestration) | Symphony
My Little pony, among many other wonderful things, is an adventure, and this particular orchestration by EveryDayDashie does a wonderful job of displaying that magic. Opening with the gentle sparkle of glockenspiel the Symphony then swells into a grand display of the beloved main theme the true introduction to the work. That beloved motif, as well as some newer ones, follow us though the rest of the song, though greatly changed through the context of the music around it. From the gentle notes of a lullaby mimicking a frolic though the meadows to heroic charges and the crashing as a storm at sea, truly this music is as a trip though Equestria, with both old friends and new, and a journey you won’t want to miss.
Ryleo Goldridge & Daniel Ingram – Dreaming is Believing vs A Changeling Can Change (Faulty Mashup) | Pop
Back in the sixth season, Spike’s plea in favour of Thorax was a heartwarming song about the changes a character can still go through free from the burdens of one’s origin and past. With this mashup, Faulty gives this defense a more upbeat spin by letting Spike sing to Ryleo Goldbridge‘s “Dreaming is Believing”. Both titles on their own were a joy to listen to already, and this combination of them is no different, so give it a listen!
EveryDayDashie – Lunar New Fiesta 新春嘉年華 | Orchestral
The Chinese New Year might have happened nearly half a year ago already, but this song about the festivities around this date by EveryDayDashie is not to be reserved just for this specific time! In addition to Dashie’s signature Chinese style of composing, the track is inter-weaved with instruments and rhythms usually attributed to marching bands. The resulting genre fusion works fantastically and is a pleasure to listen to, so ensure to treat your ears to it!
My Band – Race On! | Pop/Pop Rock
Explicit lyric warning: some degenerate lyrics
What happens when you take 13 pony musicians, put them in a (discord) room and tell them to frankenstein a song within 14 days? A fascinating show of music talent from our fandom that is as awesome as it is crazy hopping from genre to genre. Want some funky pop? Starts right off with it! Some rock? They got you covered! Mix it up with a bit of rap? Hop right into this stitched together automobile of marvel! The ingredients used for this masterpiece of a hodgepodge may look weird laid out besides each other, but mixed together these all combine into a joyful experience and tribute to the creativity of all artists involved!
PumpkinZ – Oasis | Chill Pop
All of us need to put our brains on standby from time to time to just relax, and PumpkinZ with this lovely little track puts you immediately in the right mood to calm down. The slow melody, carried by piano, flute and guitar weaving in and out creates a short yet pleasant acoustic journey to help you ease up any tensions acquired throughout the day – just put this song on and let your thoughts rest for a few minutes!
Skyshard – Aridia Theme | Soundtrack
With her latest Fallout Equestria track, “Aridia Theme,” Skyshard noted that this is her first time using an Arabian music scale, but by Jove, I think she’s nailed it! The track emulates the desert vibe perfectly with the wailing wind at its beginning, and its choice of instruments throughout. The bells and drums provide the perfect cadence for a trek through the sand, the strings evoke a sense of suspense, and the flute provides that final sweetness to the track like a cherry on top. It’s the perfect setting for an adventure, so I’m calling all sonic explores to check this one out!
