[Full English Cover] 04. Magical Bloom | Winx club season 1 OST

[PLEASE REFER TO THE DESCRIPTION FIRST before asking questions in the comments] Hey everyruby, This cover of "Magical Bloom" is the first of a series. Yeah, a series, you read that right. Recently, Winx club celebrated its 18th anniversary- and this got me thinking. I'd been wanting to create something to give back to the Winx community, a community that was (and still is) a huge part of my life, and this seemed like the perfect time to do just that. I couldn't choose between doing covers or a set of artworks, so I ended up settling with doing both XD General information: ✿ COVER PROJECT: It took a while to pinpoint exactly what set of covers I was going to be doing- and initially I was going to do an entirely different set- but I am covering the entire OST of the first season in English. The Italian soundtrack was released in full quite some years ago but the English version has only ever brought out the TV-sized versions of the songs- and twice, weirdly enough- once for the series and once for the OST of the Join The Club game with slightly adjusted lyrics. Fans have expressed throughout the years to long for a full version of the soundtrack, but so far nothing has been released. So I figured I could do covers of those songs- I know it's not the same thing as the real deal, but it might just make for a nostalgic and magical experience nonetheless ^^ Note: Both "Under The Sign Of The Winx" and "Magic Winx" (the transformation theme) will be excluded from this project out of respect for the full English version that is already out for the former and, for the latter, because I am not going to sing all six harmonies of that song myself. ✿ LYRICS: I tried to keep the lyrics as close to the original Italian version as possible, taking as much leeway as I needed to have everything sound all right melody wise but keeping the essentials of every individual sentence intact. The original songs on this soundtrack have honestly beautiful and meaningful lyrics that I believe should be handled respectfully if I am to translate them to English. Some parts of the songs were taken straight out of both English OSTs, the rest was translated by me- guess my one and a half years of attempting to study Latin came in handy after all XD ✿ ARTWORK: For the thumbnails for this particular cover series, I decided to draw a set of artworks featuring the Winx club fairies in my own style. As some of you may know, I started my art journey by drawing (mainly ocs) in the Winx club style and have since worked on developing my own artstyle for my original story. I figured it would be a nice way to come full-circle to draw the Winx in my own style now with subsequent "redesigns" in the way I currently draw fairies for my own project. I took inspiration from poses from the original stock art for the Winx club series and gave the designs my own twist to give it more of an epic fantasy type of vibe while still keeping the essentials of the original designs in tact (general outfit, main colour, hairstyle and wing shape, to be exact). This is by no means an attempt to outshine the original designs or anything of the sorts, just me paying a tribute to these characters I hold very dear by drawing them in my own style. ✿ SPEEDPAINT: As with all my (digital!) artworks, there will be a speedpaint of every single one of the artworks for this series up on my YouTube channel in a couple of months- and I will talk more about the design process for the individual fairies I drew for this series in the captions of those videos. ✿ ORDER I am going by these songs in a rather random order, I assigned a song from the OST to each Winx fairy by matter of association and then went along drawing the fairies in order of introduction in the series. The number in the title is simply the number of the corresponding track on the original album, so no worries if the number doesn't allign with how many covers are out by that point- it's not supposed to add up XD ✿ Next up? Next cover will be "Lightning Magic", featuring Stella Release will be either in March or April Keep living the Magic Chloë Joëlle Frostthorn ✿ Credits: ✿ Instrumental provided by - Shihirli Winx Club & CADM Angelina Pax (I mixed the two instrumentals together for different parts of the song) Where to find my projects: ✿ https://linktr.ee/chloejoelle_rubyix Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the copyright act 1976 This video is made for "fair use" *** All rights reserved. © Rainbow S.r.l. *** "Magical Bloom" is property of Rainbow S.r.l. and publisher Ni-Nap S.r.l. and belongs to the original soundtrack for the first season of the animated series "Winx club", I claim no rights towards the music used in this video aside from my own voice.
