SZA. The Weeknd. Travis Scott. This trio is iconic. Three of the biggest names in R&B/Hip-hop have joined forces to create a “Game of Thrones” inspired collaboration for the HBO series’ last season. The single, entitled “Power is Power” will be apart of an entire “Game of Thrones” series soundtrack. The album is rumored to include other hip-hop names, like A$AP Rocky and Ty Dolla $ign to name a few.
A few weeks back, rumors swirled that The Weeknd had been asked to record for the soundtrack and later recruited SZA and Travis to help bring the project home. Although the song is intended to coincide with the mythical series, its strong bass and dark vibe give it the potentially to be a radio hit on its own. The “Love Galore” singer seems to have gone back to her original Z era vocals and supplies the record with smooth, sultry notes alongside The Weeknd’s moody lyrics. Travis Scott comes in with the classic auto-tuned bars, rapping “Who’s hotter? Been a monster with a crown / Soul-wrapper, high water, keep your head up / You might drown.”
