Well then, this certainly was a surprise I didn’t see coming! Starting out with entire spoken lines from the Equestria girls special with some lovely melodies the song at first seems to focus a lot on official vocals, but other then the intro you get one more bit of official lines, and other then that it’s just pure dubstep beauty! The song has everything from smooth melodies, drum builds, vocal builds and fills, and incredibly fun and energy filled drops, in simplest terms the track is six minutes of pure power and never stopping fun, and not a second seems boring or repetitive!
Original
elameaa – MOONBOW | House
Sometimes one of these tracks comes along and you find yourself smiling and comfortable. Elameaa, with a bit of help from SpinScissor, brings you a beat and presentation that will have you delighted. This track is well-edited and composed with catchy vocal chops of the darling of Gen 5, Izzy Moonbow. Old fans of the brony music scene might feel very nostalgic for its pleasing melodies and Izzy’s bubbly and quirky nature. I promise you will be smiling after a bad day with this track! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
EveryDayDashie – Spring Festival Encore 新春欢腾 | Epic Orchestral / World
It’s always a treat to hear the My Little Pony lick in a different musical style & on different instruments, especially when it is styled & mixed together with something as epic as traditional Chinese orchestra & musical storytelling. EveryDayDashie seems to reward us with a new style for every one of their songs, this time focusing more on a traditional Chinese style. But don’t let the name or style throw you off, this track is more than Chinese orchestral as we know it, adding non-traditional Chinese instruments to the mix like the unification of cultures; I still can’t get over the electric guitar stealing the show like the dramatic tension in a narrative. This song definitely felt like I was in the middle of a festival for sure, celebrating traditions of both past & present, and most importantly, giving us that feeling of a complete story.
Gloomrot – Mhm (Ft. Ditherer) | Hip-Hop
The madlad Gloomrot once again delivers a dope Hip-Hop piece with the help of lyrical mastermind Ditherer, this time bringing us a tune about Marble Pie. (Legit though, we need MORE marble pie songs within this fandom!) And it is throughout this dope straight-in-your-face type of boombap beat, how the story is told regarding Marble’s well being and state of mind. Dark experiences and thoughts, can truly, TRULY change a person. And I can tell you, that cute poor mhm-ing honse deserves a hug man… Her story throughout this dark masterpiece, is in either case wonderfully produced & performed by Dith and Gloom.
RoseTV – RISE (Feat. Nina Hope & JohnnyFerno) | Piano Ballad
Words sometimes cannot describe how much raw emotion can come from a single track, and as I sit here typing & re-writing this post, the one word I keep circumnavigating to is…wow…just wow… Where do I even begin? RoseTV definitely left a mark with this maiden pony track. Based off an old idea/theory that they made ten years ago about Luna’s transformation and mindset behind becoming Nightmare Moon, this dynamic track with combination of soft piano, simple drums, repeating lyrical lines, and distant harmonies will make you want to raise your arms up and absolutely pour your soul out to the lyrics with others in unity (in a similar fashion to the modern day “worship” songs). It’s a lyrical beauty that will turn off your mind and turn on your heart.
ALostCarolean – Starlight’s Last Glimmer | Darksynth / Industrial
Another spectacle of a darksynth tune has been delivered to us, thanks to ALostCarolean. And this tune, tells the story of a falsehood, leading to a betrayal with no escape, fueling a plot of revenge… and finally, Starlight’s last Glimmer. A story told with amazing electronics and sinister instrumental works. I love the flow of it and the overall vibe of a scheme being played out to upmost perfection, just like this tune, with epic build-ups and outstanding blast-offs!
Spikey Wikey – The Sirens | Bass House
Propa dir’y stuff this. Spikey Wikey is not only a connoisseur of electronic music in the fandom, but he makes some fantastic music himself too! This track draws on inspiration from UK bass styles of music, with somewhat minimal drums letting the lower register speak for itself. Interspersed with samples of the Dazzlings from Rainbow Rocks too, it has an element of darkness that draws you in and hints at the force of nature you’re about to face off against.
EveryDayDashie – Pony Mission Voyage | World
EveryDayDashie’s “Pony Mission Voyage” sounds just like the name suggests—it’s a rhythmic adventure taking the listener across a vast number of soundscapes, each inspired by a different tradition! In it, you’ll hear many different folk instruments like sitars and xylophones mixed with orchestral and brass hits. There’s even some synths snuck in here and there, with a dubstep-like section in the middle that blends its bass with the other folk instruments, creating a unique sound. Of course, it wouldn’t be EveryDayDashie without a few melodic MLP references to complete the track. Fantastic work!
PrinceWhateverer – Spare Me! (ft. Rarity [BGM]) | Metal
Prince back at it again with another ABSOLUTE banger. This time, featuring our beloved fashion horse; Rarity (voiced using TalkNet). And let me tell you, she DEFINITLY has a few things to say throughout this epic metal track, about fakeness and how obtuse people can be. It can take a lot from people who constantly have to surround themselves with such folk. I am so glad Rarity expresses that throughout this song together with Prince and BGM! The guitar work is once again phenomenal, the chorus is an absolute bastion of epicness, and the vocals of both NAIL it!
Jyc Row – Apostles of the Sacred Fire (Ayzat the Wingless theme) [elg. Gabriel Borza] | Symphonic Metal
The ONE and ONLY Jyc Row, ONCE AGAIN delivers another wonderful tune for us to enjoy and cherish, featuring the talent of Gabriel Borza! If your hype & excitement for Infinite Eclipse wasn’t there yet, I am sure it will after hearing this absolute FIRESPARK of a song! Representing the sacred fire of the Kirins, Jyc & Gabriel unleash its fury through your speakers! With majestic orchestral and outstanding guitar works becoming ONE to bring you another piece originating from this epic story! Feel free to embrace it and just be in the moment. Marvellously done Jyc & Gabriel!
