HBO and Columbia Records recently announced a collaborative soundtrack slated to be released on April 26th, called For the Throne (Music Inspired by the HBO Series Game of Thrones). Among those on the big-name-heavy bill are ASAP Rocky, Chloe x Halle, Joey Badass, and X Ambassadors. In addition, Travis Scott, SZA, and The Weeknd united to write the synth-filled ballad “Power is Power.”

Both Travis Scott and SZA debuted an early look at a music video for “Power is Power” on Instagram.
SZA sported a regal, heavily-jeweled headpiece. “Heavy,” read the caption.
Scott also shared his look for the music video. The musician rocked a medieval metal mesh shirt and a black leather vest with an insignia of arrows. His caption alludes to Game of Thrones and boasts himself as the “Protector of the Seven Kingdoms.”
Scott also posted a photo to his Instagram story with three emojis of a clapperboard, further hinting at a new music video.
The Weeknd posted a photo of himself sitting on an Iron Throne which looked straight out of the HBO series. “How I’m watching episode 2 tomorrow,” the singer wrote.
