“Takin’ it Up a Notch” BGM from the episode “Hard to Say Anything” of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” (S07E08).


--Overall Comments--

Woo boy.  Big Mac has a crush on Sugar Belle (from Starlight’s old village), but must compete with heartthrob Feather Bangs (hilariously voiced by resident waifu-stealer Vincent Tong).
After five episodes without a song, Daniel Ingram hits us up with a doozy here, mixing both hard country and pop into a song which really encompasses like 5 or 6 individual numbers.  This also allowed us to hear the vocal stylings of Peter New (for the third time), as well as Vincent Tong.  Ringing in at 3 minutes as well, it’s quite the long one!

The score was also plentiful even with the long song involved, giving us 13 tracks yet again.  It’s filled with plenty of the classic MLP spy motif as the CMC sneak around Starlight’s old village.  We also hear a lovely new leitmotif for Sugar Belle, and a few other more tracks with more subtle instrumentation.

Let’s dive in!


--Track Specific Comments--

Big Mac and the CMC try more tips from their fairy tales.  Very. Good. Ideas.  Even the score knows this, as it presents us again with that very unsure-sounding waltz.
