Released in time for the celebration of Andrea Libman’s birthday that is TODAY (July 19th), this Pinkie & Gummy duet from the album Rock Candy (that you can get as a physical CD) not only shines as a strong and happy Power Pop song much to the style of The Shake Ups, but also comes with a delightful music video that is sweet as honey and happy as a pink pony can be. It is sure to make you smile! Go give a smile back to the band with a comment, and go throw the best party ever for Andrea Libman, Pinkie’s voice actress! We love you Andrea, happy birthday and have a blast partying hard as a Pinkie, or soft as a Fluttershy!

[KM] Staccato Flame – Get Up (feat. Divine Arcane & Hevianix) | Rap / Hop-Hop
Acting as the opening track to the recent King Mars tribute album, this song manifests a real inspirational message in its lyrics. Nice work from this trio to mark the beginning of said tribute album.
/MLP/ Plays – >No Fun Allowed | Album | Multi-Genre
Brace yourselves everypony, because you’re about to get surprised in the most amazing ways, as we present to you the result of two years of collaborative effort from musicians of the 4chan /mlp/ board, a massive 51-tracks album of stunning quality. Featuring a wide variety of genres (even including some very unusual ones), perhaps even more variety than in the P@D or LDB albums, this heartfelt compilation of sophisticated tunes will surprise and delight as you experience its many wonders, such as the very mellow and enthralling RarityRF (#7), the emotional and surprising you-would-never-guess pony vocals from Flut (#8), the incredible vocal chops from Protocat’s remix of I’ll Fly (#11), the masterful collaboration work in To Anon Too Late (#15), one of the best and most epic remixes of Luna’s Future (#21), Feral FurE’s wonderful remix of Better Than Ever (#26), some more feels from the Out On My Own remix (#29), the original Derpy-centered Surf Rock track Surfin’ Derp (#30), the blissful piano melodies from Tree of Harmony (#32), the heartfelt realtalk combined with quality instrumental in Waifu Blues (#33), the mighty rock spirit from Eclipses (#48), or the massive party track The Club Pony Party Palace (#50) that I will feature as a solo post next. I guess the expression “Do not judge a book by its cover” works here, and you won’t be disappointed if you decide to go give the full album a proper listen (and if you would consider donating, note that all proceeds will go to charity). This music lover, for one, is blown away.
Crusader! – Party of Two (Homage McGee Remix) | Pop / Chiptune
Have something that I have no idea how to label effectively! We saw Crusader’s Party of Two a few weeks ago, a cute song telling a love story about Pinkie. Now Homage McGee, who recently ended his previous absence from the brony music scene has made this poppy electronic remix of it with plenty of chiptune elements. Something pretty unique if you ask me!
A Symphony Of Two – A Strange & Isolated Place, Part 2 (The Forest) | Orchestral
Continuing their Strange and Isolated series, we have a new song from A Symphony Of Two. Although I’m calling this ‘orchestral’, this piece also contains a lot of ambient elements, synths, and sound effects, which to be honest, add so much more to ambiance and the theme of this series.
Direct Current – Awestruck (feat. Crusader!) | Pop
Combining Direct Current’s normally chill electronic style and Crusader’s pop-punk vocals, we get this, a collab I honestly didn’t expect to see any time soon! It’s pretty cute though, and a nice way to end the regular posting for today.
Sonic Hooves – Calamitatis (feat. Kopyce & Lunar Wolf) | Orchestral
An epic orchestral piece now from the Sonic Hooves, who recently made a return to the brony music scene after a short hiatus. This piece is a little more energetic than the usual stuff from then, and is a collaboration with their friends Kopyce and Lunar Wolf.
Radiarc – Ex Nocte | Orchestral
Although I’m tagging this as orchestral, it seems to have some electronic elements and a very cinematic feel with a strong emphasis on the percussion. If you like Radiarc’s pieces surrounding the Luna / Nightmare Moon theme, then you’re bound to enjoy this too.
Sights Unseen – I’m Still Here | Electronic / Rap
Luna songs are always good in my books, but when they’re inspired by real life events, it adds a personal flair to it that makes it perhaps a bit more special. Sights’ new song takes partial inspiration from Do Princesses Dream of Magical Sheep, and for the second time he’s ever tried rapping, he’s done a pretty good job. Sights, you get a thumbs up and an e-hug.
