What a wonderfully joyous song! I’ve been trying to temper my expectations for the movie, but it will have been an undeniable success if it has even half of the beautiful soul of this composition. Paired with a snippet of art from the trailer, the arrangement begins as if opening on sun-drenched scenes that are for now left to the imagination and blooms into a beautiful story.

Snow Swirl – Evening in Ponyville | Drum & Bass

If you’re down for a simple evening stroll through quaint, rural streets, Snow Swirl perfectly captures that mood with “Evening in Ponyville.”  Peaceful, light instrumentation dotted with some lively DnB sections maintains an overall relaxed vibe, throughout.  Up-tempo drum and bass sections balance out more ambient sections. Some of the sound design reminded me of a nostalgic background track for an old-timey video game.  Let this track’s soothing vibes warm you with the hometown-feel of Ponyville as the fading rays of Celestia’s sunlight dip beneath the horizon.

BlueBrony – Rush Hour Cadence | Nu-Disco

In the third installment of his princess-themed album, “The Princess Cycle,” BlueBrony presents “Rush Hour Cadence” – a funky, upbeat disco track inspired by the princess of love. A short intro with some fun plucks on the electric guitar quickly leads to an up-tempo drop with some funky disco sound design that periodically pulls back to make room for some smooth vocals.  An interesting end to the piece is created by sounds reminiscent of a phonograph of yesteryear that slowly fades out.  There’s even the sound of a record disc being popped out as the music comes to an end.  Featuring plenty of horns, guitar, and fun synths, this track feels like a refreshing blast from the past with a modern twist.  Be sure to check out this fun piece, as well as the other princess-themed tracks on BlueBrony’s newest album, “The Princess Cycle.”
