Soren Ember – Dust (feat. Protocat) | Soft Rock / Piano Rock

The pony rock / metal songs promotion channel, Rock Farm, releases their first exclusive! A really soft and chill rock track performed by Soren Ember with a piano arrangement done by Protocat!

This collaboration is one of that unexpected and still amazing unions! Because we know Soren Ember (formally OBSCURA) by his amazing classic & soft rock tracks that remind us of the good old days and Protocat is known for his amazing chill Drum N Bass and amazing vocal chops! And oh boy, this collaboration worked! I really loved the piano performance, it was really amazing! Soren’s vocals are really cool and I love his vocals, I really appreciate the classic rock approach on the vocals that Soren uses for take us in a time travel, this time Soren brought me to the 90’s UK, where the Piano Alternative Rock was the main genre aka Britpop where bands such The Verve, Oasis, Blur, Suede, Pulp and Maniac Street Preacher were the most popular! The acoustic guitar riffs performed by Soren are also amazing, the guitar is one of the most important elements in a Soren Ember track, and I really appreciate this guitar riffs! The thing I really loved on this song is how all parts flow together and create a beautiful and amazing harmony! A piece that Rock Farm probably is proud on having on their channel! The song that talks about Lighting Dust’s feeling feelings toward Rainbow Dash following the events of S03E07 “Wonderbolts Academy“. I also loved that pleasuring solo at the middle of the song! Also the visuals, Makenshi is really good at this videos!

Indie Notes – Mailmare in the Distance | Alternative Acoustic Rock

Indie Notes comes back with an amazing and chill remastered version of an old acoustic track that Indie did about my favorite mailmare! Derpy!

The vocals are really good and amazing, I really love Indie vocals, it reminds me of acts like Neutral Milk Hotel or even Pavement! The acoustic guitar riffs are also amazing! And the solo at the end of the song is also amazing! An acoustic and amazing piece! The lyrics are also really written, I really love the poetry and imagination of Indie for writing such amazing lyrics! A really nice and chill track for the end of the day!

Zephysonas – Not even the rain | Orchestral

I wish I knew how to label this more specifically than just “orchestral” because this piece is very different to a lot of the big, epic orchestral pieces I often see. It’s short, but super sweet and cute keyboard/piano-driven piece, and it’s one of those songs created in a sudden burst of inspiration – something which often leads to a surprisingly amazing finished product.

PrinceWhateverer – Constellations (Redux feat. Cadie) | Melodic Metalcore / Trancecore

PrinceWhateverer returns with a redux of one of his best songs – Constellations! The King of Brony Melodic Metalcore invited one of my favorite female singers of the moment Cadie for making the beautiful vocals in the breakdown! And her vocals are really sweet and chilling!

Talking about vocals, Prince’s vocals are also pretty good! I really loved his vocal songs, it reminds me of that Melodic Metalcore acts that only have clean vocals aka Scene Punk. The instrumental is the same as the previous song but has a better mastering and mixing! And one thing I love in the instrumental along with the trancecore classical electronic elements, the guitar riffs are really well done. The breakdown is one of the highest points in the instrumental, not just because of the progression to the synths, but because of the drumming! Also the robotic vocals used in some parts are also really awesome, Prince really wanted to do a Trancecore tune! This one rocks! \m/

Jyc Row – Nightmare Moon, the Lunar Queen | Orchestral

Jyc Row has composed a beautiful piece about Nightmare Moon. Epic, foreboding, and powerful, it encapsulates her personality perfectly. It is at once dark, strong, and unstoppable. What a song to listen to as Luna’s moon eclipses Celstia’s sun!

Another sweet piece in this fandom is Ataraxia’s take on Totalspark’s song “Aurora Borealis”. The song makes for a good background track for a movie or a really awesome music video. Piano, pads and vocals totally get you the vibes of drifting away into the sky while you’re in dreamland. This isn’t one to skip out on because you’re definitely up for a nice dream trip with this one.
