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!

Koa x TCB – Background pt. 1 | Pop

A motivating track about Lyra Heartstrings, as told through Koa’s uplifting pop vocals and TCB doing his magic with mixing and creating. Lyra fans are sure to get into a good mood from this collab. Taken from Koa’s “In Your Eyes” Album, this track sends aan authentic message of being yourself, showing others what you bring to the table, and claiming your spotlight. TCB blasts this head-moving and grooving vibe that is NOT shy about being colorful! The guitar-like synths are a nice touch. Those addicting drops will have you bopping your head in rhythm to Lyra’s message of “flipping the perception of your own story!”. As always, This Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
[BP5] Direct Current – Canopy Scattered Starlight | Pop / Chillout

For the fifth album “Woodland Guide – Everfree Park Rangers” Direct Current put together a fun and entertaining track, relying mostly on the amazing instrumental, made of all sorts of fun beats and sounds, supported by the stunning vocals, this is a great track to just listen to and chill out for a while, just close the eyes and enjoy the little travel this track takes you on!
Voodoo Pup – Parasite | Pop
Making a big splash onto the scene, Voodoo Pup unveils Parasite, an incredible Chrysalis-themed album! Each track brings something fun and new to the overall compilation with a style not often heard in the modern fandom. The vocal performances throughout are top-notch, and the compositions are dark and edgy, perfectly complimenting the villainess for whom they are written.
Face Value – The first song on the album easily hooks in listeners with catchy pop synths and Dangerous Moonlight’s incredible vocal performance. A haunting metal guitar lead perfectly accents the overbearingly evil soundscape while the lyrics showoff several clever plays on words with the changeling queen and how her “face value ain’t worth a dime”.
Be My Only (feat. Michael Picher) – this jazzy, old-timey lounge singer song once again features Dangerous Moonlight’s smooth and tempting vocals. Adding influence from notable fandom composer Michael Picher, “Be My Only” is driven by a great piano composition, accompanying band, and features a crazy instrumental that will have you moving!
SpinScissor & SOUND BANDIT – Pony Town Prodigy | Hyperpop
SpinScissor and SOUND BANDIT bring us a fun little hyperpop collab with everything you expect. We have fun vocal processing and effects combined with a carefree instrumental that gets you in the right mood, and evokes feelings of the namesake game. I love the little surprise at the end of the song, which is a great contrast to the rest of the instrumental.
[P@D] Tw3Lv3 & Scraton – Miles Ahead | Electro Pop
Sparkly energy imbues this collaboration by the ever-adventurous Tw3lv3 and EDM aficionado Scraton. A danceable beat, cheery little synth hooks, and crisp hyperpop-style vocals make this track perfect for blasting on a long drive.
PumpkinZ – Islands of Freedom | Indie Pop
Are you looking for some fun summer vibes? Well look no further cause I’ve got just the song for you! This refreshing pop piece by PumpkinZ brings all the fun feelings you need with an upbeat piano melody, fun synths and happy vocal chops. It’s great for a summer track to just put on repeat for a while!
4everfreebrony – Paradise (feat. Cookie Dough) | Pop
This song is precious! It may be the most fitting Dr. Whooves/Derpy centered track ever. If anything, getting introduced to Cookie Dough’s singing voice alone is wholesome! (She is the wife of 4everfreebrony) The uplifting and wistful melody takes hold of your heart and doesn’t let go, with a message of pure romance and love, giving you just blissful goosebumps of positive vibes. A mega feel-good song, the vocals further embellish on how excellent this track is – like the song is right out of the ’80s and ’90s! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Various Artists – trīgintā [EP] | Electronic
“Trīgintā” is a word in Latin that means “Thirty”. This EP is a mix of old and new from Brilliant Venture and friends that reflects on the past thirty years of his life and this fandom, with optimism for what the future holds. Its a wonderful mixed bag of goods including an original piece, remix, and a mashup!

Well this is certainly something new! In his newest banger the amazing PrinceWhateverer teamed up with beatmaster Tw3Lv3 to create this fun parody of Charli XCX’s track 1999.

Definitely give this song a good listen and I can promise you’ll really enjoy it!
