A rather different style of cover now – something which might be a bit hit or miss but still probably worth sharing. The latest release on A Little Bit for Charity’s YouTube channel, this cover of The Magic Inside has a rather unique vocal style, with very gentle accompanying instruments and almost a Christmas music vibe to it, since it’s filled with lots of percussive bells. Check it out if that sounds like your kind of thing.

Denz Xavier & Stormblaze – The Starlight Glimmer Experience | Parody
Red Dwarf fans, rejoice! Admittedly, I’ve never seen Red Dward so I didn’t get the joke, but still, it’s a deliberately fun little song that may or may not bring trigger memories of cheap amusement parks…

Donn DeVore – Come Bliss With Treezy | Indie Electro Pop
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 10 December 2016.
Back after a bit of a period away from releasing stuff, Donn DeVore returns with a pretty cool track about Treehugger. Starting innocuously enough with a pretty fast drum beat, the vocals that make the track soon come in with some pretty great lyricism too. The combination of indie-style vocals and a fusion of rock and electronic instrumentals behind them makes for the kind of thing I haven’t heard much of recently in the fandom, and it’s well worth taking a listen to!

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 8 December 2016.
A new piece from 4everfree’s album Hoping featuring some vocals from FritzyBeat, Sun & Moon is a pretty relaxing piece that brings a pretty mellow tone with it. With a slight country vibe to it, this piece is carried by the wonderful vocals on show, but also features some very nice soft guitar and percussion, as well as some lovely piano-work too. Make sure to check it out below!
Exiark – We Were (ft. FritzyBeat & CKibe) | Electro-Pop
NB: This was originaly posted on EQD on 7 December 2016.
Originally released as a part of Exiark’s incredible album Let There Be Light late last year, this track featuring vocals from Ckibe as Celestia and FritzyBeat as Discord has finally been released onto YouTube! An awesome combination of strong male and female vocals as well as some wonderful synth design from Exiark makes this a pretty awesome piece, and it goes to show that Exiark can make some pretty cool stuff that doesn’t just focus on bass design.
