“The Fall” is a beautiful deviation from 4everfreebrony’s usual flavor! A mesmerizing atmosphere filled with subtle synth arpeggios and a wide breathing soundscape, it really feels as if you are falling through an expansive and unforgiving sky. The song is short and sweet, and Namii’s impressive vocal range is the icing on top for such an airy song while the natural drums add an organic feel to a genre so used to a more digital percussive element!
Misc
Maldecid – Changeling Plague | Deathstep
Changeling Plague is a fun one! Maldecid sets a dark tone right out of the gate with a myriad of voice lines from the Queen of Changelings during the Canterlot invasion. The slow and heavy percussion marches poignantly and delivers the rhythm to a hard-hitting drop with unique and eerie sound design, without overwhelming the listener with too much at once! The choir stabs work incredibly well as a foundation for the rest of the music, creating an experience to behold!
PumpkinZ – Islands of Freedom | Indie Pop
Are you looking for some fun summer vibes? Well look no further cause I’ve got just the song for you! This refreshing pop piece by PumpkinZ brings all the fun feelings you need with an upbeat piano melody, fun synths and happy vocal chops. It’s great for a summer track to just put on repeat for a while!
Harmonic Six – Elemental Heroes | Orchestral
Today I have the pleasure of bringing you this amazing orchestral piece by Harmonic Six that revolves all around the final scene of the Season two premiere! The song has this space orchestra sound to it and evokes a feeling of celebration, fitting very well into the scene that it’s inspired by. Even without the context it makes for an enjoyable listen, because the triumphant nature of the song makes it stick in your head for quite a while!
Voodoo Pup – Be My Only | Blues / Jazz
The most recent pre-release from Voodoo Pup’s Chrysalis concept album is abundant with sneaky, sleazy vibes, perfectly descriptive of the changeling queen herself. The track’s tone is set by a scheming, sassy bassline and carried by Dangerous Moonlight’s honeyed voice. Listeners beware – this track is sure to “trace its claws over your heart!”
[P@D] Jyc Row & Kelsey Mira – The Wings of Destruction / Molten Spike (elg. Ziv Shalev) | Epic Orchestral
Jyc Row never disappoints, and for the newest Ponies at Dawn album Zenith he delivered this amazing epic orchestral piece related to his Infinite Eclipse series. This particular song revolving around the evil form of our favourite dragon, Spike! Together with the amazing vocals of Kelsey Mira and the guitar talents of Ziv Shalev, who has a solo in this song, he delivers an amazing track with dark and foreboding strings and vocals together with an epic guitar that will leave a chill down your spine. This song is some of the best orchestral work this fandom has to offer; you should definitely have a listen and support the album it’s from!
Skyshard (and friends) – Beyond the Sky and Sea | Cinematic Orchestra
For this awesome track Skyshard got together with some amazing vocalists to make a track dedicated to the Hippogriffs from the 2017 MLP Movie. The combination of cinematic tunes and African influences together with all these amazing voices makes for an enjoyable song and despite its length it never gets boring!
Ponies At Dawn – Zenith | Compilation Album
Following a release party over 13 hours long, including a 7-hour album showcase, P@D’s newest album Zenith has been released! As their 25th album in just over 9 years, it’s an incredible milestone to have reached! Over the coming weeks, we’ll be bringing you many of the songs from this album as and when the artists decide to release them. But that’s not all – we plan on doing a showcase of some of our personal staff favourites too at a later date. Until then, the album is available to purchase on P@D’s Bandcamp and to stream on a number of platforms.
4everfreebrony – We’ll Get Through (feat. PrinceWhateverer) [Blink-182 ponified] | Alternative Rock
Sometimes, a pair of vocal talents click and are so smooth together! It’s like a delicate cake with tasty, smooth frosting. Giving the legendary band Blink-182 a nod of respect, 4everfreebrony and PrinceWhateverer take the basis from “I Miss You” and get into the head of Sunny StarScout and her mission in G5. The lyrics take the heart of the original song, expressing the frustrations of Sunny and how she thinks and feels throughout the movie. These two musicians seem to have a blast together, achieving perfect tone and mood to their vocal delivery. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
4everfreebrony – Paradise (feat. Cookie Dough) | Pop
This song is precious! It may be the most fitting Dr. Whooves/Derpy centered track ever. If anything, getting introduced to Cookie Dough’s singing voice alone is wholesome! (She is the wife of 4everfreebrony) The uplifting and wistful melody takes hold of your heart and doesn’t let go, with a message of pure romance and love, giving you just blissful goosebumps of positive vibes. A mega feel-good song, the vocals further embellish on how excellent this track is – like the song is right out of the ’80s and ’90s! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
