As a reintroduction to them making pony music again Remember Falling has decided to rework their track I’d Like To Try, and this new rendition sounds amazing! The song is focused around Lyra and BonBon, mainly their initial falling in love. From upbeat melodies to adorable vocals this track has it all and is a pleasure to listen to, so definitely check it out!
Harmony Bop – TRUST IN LOVE | Synthpop / Metal
If ever there was a cartoon about the adventures of Princess Cadance, then this would absolutely need to be the theme song! Harmony Bop’s bright synth hook, energetic drums and driving guitars create a fun and welcoming atmosphere for the Princess to deliver her sage wisdom. Sung from her point of view, Cadance sings that you need to “Trust In Love” because trust is so important to romantic relationships. Full of totally unique sections to change the pacing and emotion, Harmony Bop keeps you on your toes while constructing an experience that works perfectly as one!
Anamore – Invisible (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Electronic Rock
A few weeks ago, Anamore dropped this fantastic cover of a lesser known song from the EQG universe, “Invisible,” and she’s turned it into a rousing anthem! It’s a fusion of many styles and genres with its electric guitar and bass, lively rock drums, bouncy synths, subtle strings, and even some scratching thrown in on the low end and glitchy sounds in the beginning. Her vocals are simultaneously soft and crisp, and her performance is spot on! The song’s subject is one I think many of us have related to at one point or another, so thanks for putting in all the effort to make such a lovely cover ❤
Skyshard – Hearth’s Warming Stories Vol 2: Skyshard in the Multigenre of Madness (Special Pony Edition) | Album | Multi-Genre
Editor’s note: better 2 months late than never!
Suppose you want to talk about a musician who has been on the move. Innovating herself, experimenting, and ever-expanding on her musical talents. Skyshard is known for her abilities in the orchestra brony community, highlighted by making a splash in 2021 with her impressive string of compilation album releases!
Hearth’s Warming Stories Vol 2 shows a different side to her talent pool. Building on her composing talents, we’re treated to a musical dive into mixing her orchestral core with various genres. The tracks are tongue-in-cheek tales of Twilight and her friends trying to plan a late Hearthswarming party highlighted by the Mane 6 poking fun at the brony music community with an amusing use of mane six speaking through 15.ai as a bonus feature in this version!

BinExis – Distant Farewell | Progressive Rock
BinExis has gifted us a few wonderful Pony songs over the years (check out the innovative “New Old Beginning” with its awesome instrumentation (complete with flute) and the warm, dark sparkle of their first MLP musical foray, “The Night and Elements“), and now we get their most epic creation yet! This prog rock adventure launches quickly into full flight, a fantastically melodic combination of synths, guitars, and percussion. It combines with the amazing video art to set the table for some most excellent rock vocals (the full lyrics are in the video description! Woo!), which tell a tale of Celestia and Luna traveling through space in a search of a new home for all of the creatures of Equestria. The many parts of this composition feel so well-tuned to the others, calibrated and balanced for maximum narrative impact, which is highlighted nicely by the shift in tone midway through the song that is accompanied by a shift in the video’s artwork. I especially appreciated the great guitar work in the second half which was both accomplished and perfect for the story! This song feels like a snapshot from a sci-fi saga, and I hope that we get more of this story in the future!
Vylet Pony – Scapeghosts (feat. PrinceWhateverer & Foozogz) | Synthrock
Strap in fellas today we’ve got ourselves a longer track by the wonderful Vylet Pony. The song starts out with a dreamy beat that really gives it a mysterious yet calming feel, and then the lyrics set in and really steal the show. Later the singing stops and we once more hear the amazing beat this time accompanied by some great guitar tunes until the lyrics set in once more and tell us some more about the scapeghosts but quickly the lyrics are once more replaced by a slightly different sounding beat that shows you even if this is a seven minute track it will not get boring whatsoever, after that the lyrics start once more and to end of the beat takes over once more accompanied by some more stellar guitar tunes. Overall this song might be the longest one I’ve ever done an article on but oh sweet Celestia it doesn’t get boring, in fact the switch between lyrics and just beat make this song feel even more lively than it already is.
Bayanic – Hadron Sonata | Progressive Rock
In the means of revamping past songs for an improved effort of production, Bayanic has pledged to recompose his Equinelibrium album. Off to a great start with this really catchy song if you ask me. This one creates an OST-like sound by mixing some old school techno elements, along with pleasing keyboards tones and some really fun Prog Rock guitars and drums. The melody dances around to some extremely catchy music that you just want to go for a power walk while doing the grocery shopping! I want to hear more! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself. –
StableTwoStallion – Böse Stuten (Koron Korak Remix) | Dark Synth
(Listen to the original here!)
Translated to “Bad Mares”. Korak said over a hundred hours were put into making this track. If you ask this metalhead’s opinion, I will tell you that everything going on here is awesome! The dark and hard goth metal sound was not replaced but integrated into the dirty and grinding synths, but that’s not all! We got chainsaws and this wonderful and chilling symphony organ at work here. The electronic elements complement the unsettling feel of this track so well, yet however with a hollow sounding choir in the background and those awesome lyrics in German. It feels like you walked into a buzzsaw of twisted MLP characters. This would also work out great in a fight scene in a grimdark fanfic honestly. Grimdark narrators, take note of this! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
