Crusader is back again with another vocal delight! Big Mac has always had a special place in our hearts in this fandom. Crusader’s voice just gives this song some extra flavor to such a sweet song. I say this because the lyrics tell Big Mac’s throughs and emotions pretty well from Brotherhood Social. Feeling like you can’t fill those shoes anymore for your little sister. When you know that Applejack has done so much more then you have. To have doubt that you don’t matter anymore. Crusader’s voice and acoustics tell that story in such an uplifting way. I’m glad someone made a song about this special moment. We all would like a big brother like Big Mac. His efforts, His hard work. His Love for his family. Doing crazy wacky shenanigans. All to show AppleBloom that he still can be there for her. Much like my buddy LuckRock. Crusaders songwriting is his greatest strength. It shows. Its a heartfelt catchy tune your be humming to yourself. As I always say. This Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.

MC-Arch & SoftieShy (Fluttershy) – Lullaby. | Pop Ballad
(You can Listen to Mc-Arch’s Album Here, and also read my article that talks about the Album Here.)
It’s an honor to do these promotions for fellow colleagues of Horse Music Herald. MC-Arch’s music is not simply Hip-Hop. The man has a set of pipe and very much invokes the pure emotion of love in this wonderful ballad. He’s no alone as SoftieShy joins in this duet. The love for someone you care about, How it can you through the lowest points of life and gives you SOMETHING to hang onto. It’s wonderful. I don’t think a lot of bronies think that deeply into it at first until you know it’s there, This show gave people something to build on. Friendship is Magic is a building block to work with. With that building block can make a lot of wonderful things happen. Like finding love. This song so much points out what love can build into. Arch and SoftieShy words are so beautiful on touching into that. Folks honesty keep an eye on MC-Arch, I and my other colleagues love him for a reason. This Qilin knows this to be true without any doubt.
Koa – Broken Wings | Pop / Dubstep
Rainbow Factory and Awoken! A pair of songs that are a legend in their own rights. Songs that helped start the trend of grimdark storytelling within the MLP fandom. Nearly 8 years after the release of Rainbow Factory. Koa comes out with the 3rd song of this Unholy Trinity. I am not sure how you can put such disturbing feelings into the lyrics and yey have the emotion of Pop/dubstep song that you can dance too. Spiritual successor? yes. Continuity? yes. Chilling, very much. Now BronyDanceParty needs to make a video to this song! As always, This Qilin asked you to judge for yourself.
Mad Mars – BronyCon (Stacey’s Mom Parody) | Pop Rock
Mad Mars is back, and with an awesome tribute to BronyCon! So lovely seeing more pony musicians surface to gather once more as fans. This new community parody of Stacey’s Mom sure is doing wonders at bringing those uplifting and nostalgic vibes, and this rocking treat full of feelings is very appreciated!
Vylet Pony – At the End of the Rainbow | R&B
The latest upload from Vylet Pony’s Love Letters: Colourless has Vylet taking on Rainbow Dash’s perspective and the resulting lament is a thing of beauty. The percussion in the tune is creative and hits just right, the textures are breathtaking, the vocals are mixed beautifully, and the melodies here are gorgeous and inventive. Vylet continues to prove she’s one of the best!
Washout – Road To You | Pop
Among the awesome surprises of the month, Washout’s tribute to Starlight and Trixie is so cute that it’s making me melt. Those tender and passionate vocals are to die for, the lovely lyrics were written with love and you can feel it, and the electronic instrumental is quite impressive! This is what it means to start with a bang in the pony music scene!!
strigidae – Louder, louder! | Indie Dance
New song by Strigidae, new incredible expression of pony love and depth! I highly recommend reading the description on YouTube, and all the thoughts that Strigidae had about Twilight! Singing about her anxiety with much resulting intensity, the talented musician definitely paid much tribute to our beloved purple princess, and all the creativity in both the instrumental and the vocals is really an amazing experience to behold!
Daniel Ingram – Lotta Little Things (loophoof Remix) | Electro Pop
This is a very cute and catchy remix of the royal sister’s duet in the show. The fandom has been waiting for so long for Tia and Luna to have their own song and it doesn’t disappoint in the fun factor!. LoopHoof’s remix focusing on the lyrics, with the melody, changed to be like an 80’s techno pop. Its fun and charming much like the royal sisters are in this song. This Qilin can say for living it. All work and no play can and make life pretty boring. Please judge for yourself and make yourself a fruity drink why you’re at it.
MC-Arch – You got me, I got us | Album | Hip-Hop / Audio Drama
“This review is dedicated to a person that embodies the very believes to his core of what being a brony honesty is. That person is the one and only Joey-O. If anyone lives by the messages of this album laid by MC-Arch. It’s you, Joey, I know you’re resting up good. I and MC-Arch could not think of a better way to show how much this fandom loves you. Then to honor you this way.”

Ataraxia – Starlight (Moving On) | Indie Pop
(You can hear Ataraxia’s Album “Lost and Found” Here )
When it comes to Starlight Glimmer. She is a character forever struggling with herself. Starlight (Moving On) paints that picture very well. My first time hearing Ataraxia filled my head with such an emotional scene. The melody has this feeling of sadness, anger, sorrow, challenges, happiness, fear and courage. The lyrics tell this story of Starlight looking at all of this at last. Dealing with it, she’s ready to just move on with her life for better or worse. Ataraxia has this amazing and soothing voice that makes this song come together. The piano solo at the end is a fitting end to it.
I love this song. I can see Starlight walking the path of her life, looking closely at where she has been, and what she has done up to this point. It is this feeling of hope – Starlight has found hope. You don’t even have to like Starlight to even enjoy this song, which you should definitely go listen right now!
