If you’re looking for some stylish rapping over a poppy beat, consider checking out this new track by Neon Skyler. The song explores how Rarity- like many of us- can have the tendency to get so caught up in what they love that we can saturate ourselves with stress and spiral into burnout in pursuit of perfection.
Misc
ChickenSteve – Tartarus | Eurobeat
Eurobeat has an interesting history in the fandom, being some of the first music to ever hit the scene and stay there, and it looks like ChickenSteve has really picked up on what made the first tracks from way back when shine! Give it a listen, I’m sure it’ll really take you back!
Denz Xavier – Soarin Free (MeetSouder’s Orchestral Arrangement) | Orchestral
We posted the original version of this song by Denz Xavier here here a few weeks ago, and now we have an orchestral version by Meetsounder. It’s always interesting to hear alternative versions of songs we know, keep up the good work MeetSouder!
Balloon Party – Chromatic Horizons | Album | Multi-Genre
Balloon Party have been one of the driving forces behind fandom compilation albums in the past, and whilst this new iteration, Chromatic Horizons, is a little smaller than previous releases, it’s still well worth checking out, full of top-notch tunes from in and around the fandom.
Wandering Artist – Redeem Her | Orchestral
Taking a break from the out of the box EDM music earlier in the day, Wandering Artist brings us a beautiful little orchestral track taking us on a journey of redemption for characters like Sunset Shimmer, The Great and Powerful Trixie, Moondancer and even Starlight Glimmer.
Wootmaster – Lack of Faith | Hip-Hop
(Explicity lyrics in case of sensitive ears) Incoming fandom drama opinions: Wootmaster is back again with a track expressing his feelings about fandom loyalty and all that jazz. I guess you could say spoiler alert too regarding this one…
ChickenSteve – We’ll Be With You | Electro-Pop
I haven’t heard of ChickenSteve’s music before, but he’s apparently been making music for about a year now. Here’s his most recent track, We’ll Be With You, an upbeat redemption song of sorts for Starlight Glimmer.
Octavia – Nothing But Love | Orchestral
EQD picked up this one before us, but we thought we’d do a post on it anyway, since it’s a very pretty piece. Driven by a piano and accompanied by strings, this somewhat melancholic piece struck a chord with me. No pun intended…no, really!
Throwback Thursday | Kreühn Pöny | Artist Spotlight
You may or may not have heard of this musician, they were one of the more, shall we say, elusive members of the fandom. Kreühn Pöny specialised in jazzy stuff; songs with odd time signatures and irregular beat patterns. You know, a similar feel that of SoGreatandPowerful’s music (which is a completely different kettle of fish that we’ll revisit another time!). So without further ado, let’s get to his small yet brilliant discography! Catch it all after the break…
Mad Mars – Dueling Hearts | Piano-Pop
Part 4 of Mad Mars’ Lovesong Equestria series (go check his channel for the others), we have a new song with the classic Celestia/Luna theme. Go check it out for your fix of ballads.
