This piece instantly grabs my attention with its repeating acoustic arpeggios and the beautiful piano melody accompanying it! The rises and falls of the melody are catchy and the overall song just fits Fluttershy’s vibe. Free and cheerful, and has that sense of scope and wonder that makes you want to explore the great outdoors!
Original
Koa – Background pt. 2 | Pop
Who doesn’t love a good sequel? Acting as the Bon Bon counterpart to a recent Lyra song, Background pt. 2 is a softer song that encapsulates her feelings for Lyra. The instrumentation is more minimal, leaving more room for Koa’s vocals and the words she sings, yet every part of the composition has its role and fits together nicely.
√ Σ † ∫ & ATR – Mathie Sings The End Of The World | Alternative/Experimental
In case you missed The Rest of Our Lives last summer, here is one great reminder to go grab that album! Mathematicus & And The Rainfall craft a gorgeously dark and encapsulating soundscape as the backdrop to this narrative of Twilight discovering something is not quite right. A bold experiment for soundscape, “Mathie Sings The End Of The World” is incredibly original and a fun deviation from any expectations for fandom music!
Childlike Wonder – Ponk | Lo-fi / Hip-Hop
An underrated treasure from last month, Childlike Wonder mixes a lo-fi, and at times jazzy, backing instrumental with a creative rap which combines a stylistic flow with lyrics from an egotistical pink pony. Throw in a some Pinkie Pie vocal chops and a great video loop for the song, and you’ve got a can’t miss hit!
Toby Macarony – Glitchy Vitchy | Jazz / Glitch-Hop
Toby’s got a bit of a reputation with his unique approach to music; transcending and blending genres is what he’s best known for in some circles and this song is no exception! What starts off sounding like a solemn bluesy jazz number quickly transforms into something energetic and spooky. It turns out shuffled walking basslines and punch “tombstone” drums make a great combination – who knew?
Totalspark – Perception | Liquid Drum & Bass
A recent release by Totalspark is one of the great examples of a darker style of Liquid Drum & Bass, and it proves that by wasting no time, setting a mood right away – the colorful somber pads and a plucky bell-chime melody, followed with a heavy sub, will create a gloomy picture in your mind, yet not without a glimpse of hope. It’s both simple and complex at the same time, it’s deep, intense, and will definitely get stuck in your head for quite some time – I heavily encourage you to experience this mix of dark undertones with a total spark (pun intended) of light.
4everfreebrony – Brighter Days Ahead | Ambient
4everfreebrony’s most recent installment of his Tranquil Tuesdays series offers us a track with equal measures of warm and refreshing vibes. Sweet synth and bell arpeggios sprinkle delicately over a confident, optimistic piano piece, painting a pleasant sonic picture with just a hint of bitter-sweetness.
Silva Hound – The Blaze (ft. Namii) | Bass House
An articulate, sassy rap delivered by Namii perfectly accentuates this earworm by Silva Hound. It features a solid, commanding synth hook that’s perfect for blasting from your best speakers, and invites the listener to “get your blaze on,” a fitting refrain for an all-around fire track.
[P@D] Metajoker – Write Me Your Heart (feat. 4everfreebrony) | Alt Rock
The duo of Metajoker and 4everfreebrony come together with a message from Princess Cadance. Yes, you heard right, a Cadance track on P@D: Zenith. Metajoker takes the role of what Cadance sees in love today and preaches for looking for real love. The line “love is never perfect, nothing good is ever perfect” sounds like something princess of love would say. The vocals are beautiful, thoughtful, and meaningful to what Cadance wants ponies to find. 4everfreebrony provides his insanely good guitar work to this track to fuel the message behind it. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself. More good Cadance tracks, please!
Synthis – All My Fears | Pop
Synthis is back again with another absolute banger. It’s good to know the homie is still out there and I hope all goes well with him! Here we have a nice song with lovely synths and funky ambient melodies expressed through both instruments and vocals that grasp you. Just the entire vibe of the track and the words sung out can definitely resonate with people. I won’t sugarcoat it; life can indeed be a frightening experience, and you’ll only see who really has your back when EVERYTHING goes wrong… But believe in the hope that this song alludes to, that things WILL get better. I hope this song reaches the people who need to hear it and know what Synthis is singing about. HMH is therefore, at your service. Happy listening!
