‘Hotline Bling’ has been one of the big manestream hits in recent times, and here Wootmaster has artfully ponified it into a story about Celestia somberly coming to terms with the fact that Twilight is growing up and maybe doesn’t need her guidance as much as she used to.
Misc
Aelipse – The World of Wonder and Magic | Orchestral
Perhaps it’s my lack of experience in the orchestral side of the fandom music scene, but I’d never heard of Aelipse before seeing this track. I gotta say though, this piece is very well crafted – good mixing, nice dynamic range, if only it could be longer than 2:12. Anyway go check this out to finish off our day.
Jyc Row – Ave Cadenza | Orchestral
Jyc Row’s bagpipes take us on another melodic trip with this 4th and final installment of his princesses series. Pleasantly coinciding with Hearts and Hooves Day, this princess of love themed track conveys the magic with a tender and uplifting mood making you feel warm inside, as if Cadance just casted a spell on you.
Happy Hearts and Hooves Day everypony! Make sure you treat your special somepony well, and pay tribute to Princess Cadance! Ave Cadenza!
Radiarc – Eleison | Orchestral
Radiarc comes back with a soft yet incontestably dark piece, telling through music the tale of a mysterious character. Piano, violins and electronic notes are creating a rather demented mood for that soundtrack-like “Eleison’s Theme”.
Throwback Thursday | ImTheMoon | Artist Spotlight
Breaking the infamous curse of unlisted videos, I present to you ImTheMoon, one of the most forsaken pony musicians to have graced us with their music. All of the pony songs from the channel are unlisted, but very fortunately a public playlist remains, containing all the much valued songs now easy to reach despite being unlisted. Below the break, behold a few of those timeless gems!
Acouste Wholenote – Be | Acoustic
Acouste Wholenote brings us a new acoustic track about Moondancer. Having featured in the past on multiple works by our site’s own Spectra, more recently he’s returned to releasing some of his own works as well – something I think we can all agree upon as a welcome change, as his voice perfectly suits this style.
Jyc Row – Legends of the Everfree | Orchestral
Inspired by the image seen in the video, Jyc Row brings us a deep, heavy and epic-feeling orchestral track about the legends of the Everfree Forest, with some slight Celtic influences also audible throughout the track.
Mad Mars – Love Blockade | Electro-Pop
Mad Mars continues his Lovesong Equestria series, this time with a song from Spike’s perspective about his feelings for Rarity. NB: Horse Music Herald takes no responsibility for canon / fanon ships clashing with your headcanon.
MYCUTIEMARKISAGUN – nrab siht esiar (Raise this Barn remix) | Trip-Hop
MCMIAG has been around in the music scene for a while now, often flying further below the radar than you’d expect from someone with this amount of talent. Anyway, he’s recently been uploading some old tracks from EQbeats to YouTube, go check out his channel if you like this one, there’s a few more including a fantastic SGaP remix.
Selenys – Repentance | Piano Ballad
French pony musician and singer Selenys brings us a concept track revolving around Luna and her post-Nightmare Moon feelings of guilt, reminiscing of the Tantabus episode. The vocal work brings out much emotion and with such meaningful lyrics, the song is definitely a great and heartfelt tribute.
