An adagio for Adagio. Take a wild guess what this is about and how the rest of the series will be titled ;P I would go into more detail on the specifics of this song’s theme, but Ghost wrote a small essay in the description, so you should take a look at that and let him explain the song better than I can. But what I can say is that is that it features live violin from professional violinist Maria Grigoryeva; good on Ghost for going the extra mile for the sake of a lead instrument.
Original
Vylet & Sylver – i just want you to notice me | Future
I think this is close enough to call “future”, with low-fi hip-hop influences and some additional audio aesthetic thrown in for good measure. But anyway, about the track itself – this songs marks the release of another character-specific EP from Vylet, simply titled lotus, after the character on whom it focuses, and again with the theme of the album deeply rooted in romance.
You can get the EP for just $2.99 on Bandcamp, and I expect Vylet will upload the remaining songs to YouTube over the coming weeks..
4everfreebrony & Luna Jax – Back To You | Soft Rock
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 15 January 2017.
Luna Jax and 4everfreebrony teaming up is a pretty awesome combination! With Jax’s strong vocals and a really nice instrumental it starts up brilliantly. 4everfreebrony’s vocals come in later on, and work just as well. A pretty soft and relaxing track, it wonderfully tells the story of Celestia and Luna’s reunion after Luna’s banishment to the moon ended.
[P@D] DJT & iblank2apples – Sweeter Than This (ft. Wootmaster) | Drum & Bass
Well here we go, time to start posting the P@D: Amity tracks! Feels like it’s been a while since I heard this style of dnb, which reminds me of some stuff by the likes of Pendulum and Muzzy, and who better to present it to us than DJT and iblank2apples? And as an added bonus, Woot drops some sweet bars along to the track too. A phenomenal opening track to Amity.
FritzyBeat & NyxTheShield – Scootaloo’s Wings (covering JackleApp) | Acoustic
FritzyBeat is no stranger to beautiful vocal work and it shows in this wonderful cover of a JackleApp track, Scootaloo’s Wings. Fritzy is joined by an Undertale fan-music veteran, NyxTheShield, on guitar. It’s a wonderfully powerful rendition; the guitar strumming is smooth and expertly plucked with vocals perfectly layered atop. Fritzy’s vocals are considerably deeper and more drawn out than the original, and the guitar plucks from NyxTheShield more sharp too, making this track a treat even for those intimately familiar with the original.
Dynamite Grizzly – FEELIN’ HAUTE VIP | Tech-House
A new version of a classic from Dynamite Grizzly, sweep samples included at no extra charge. This release is in anticipation of the third of Dynamite’s techno EPs, entitled The Horses Really Like Techno, which you can expect to be full of techno-infused goodness like the above track. If you’re familiar with the last two, you might notice a certain theme going on with the titles…
Kawaii Dash – Flutterbump | Nu Disco
This new track from Xavi’s alter ego marks the first release of 2017 on the Shika No Mori Sound label – and it’s exactly what you’d expect from him. Whompy chords and tight percussion house beats. And Fluttershy vocal samples, of course, it’s Xavi.
Indie Notes – Waiting | Acoustic
Indie Notes is back after a very long time away from the music scene, and seemingly starting his channel afresh. However, he is preparing to release a brand new album in the coming days too, so don’t fret, there’s plenty of great stuff like this to come! Take a listen to this fantastic acoustic number about Spike – very mellow instrumentation and vocals with a nice little hook in the chorus and even a solo!
I am so ready for Indie’s album perhaps we might even do a full review…
Liquid Harmony – I Am Not A Monster | Piano Sonata
I find it interesting just how much music in the fandom is inspired by fanfiction, perhaps simply because it’s something I never got into myself. But anyway, go check out this lovely solo piano piece from Liquid Harmony.
DJ RedSky & New Reverian – Of Light and Wings | House
DJ RedSky and New Reverian have collaborated plenty of times in the past and this latest joint effort doesn’t disappoint. It contains a mixture of sounds and styles from both artists that work together great – in my eyes RedSky tends to use simple yet catchy synths which are plentiful in this, while Rev has a great flair for composition and melody. I hope these two keep collaborating in the future, their joint works are always a pleasure to listen to!
