In honor of its eighth and final season, Game of Thrones is teaming up with Columbia Records to release an official soundtrack entitled, For The Throne. The soundtrack will release 11 different vinyl versions, with special cover art representing each Westeros house on the show.

According to VICE’s I-D, this album marks the first time the popular HBO series has collaborated with a record company for its soundtrack. Fans of the show know the series’ iconic music has been brought to us by the highly talented Ramin Djawadi.

The album will feature artists such as A$AP Rocky, Ty Dolla $ign, Chloe x Halle, and more.

Now, it looks like we’re getting a single. SZA teased the cover art for a new song, “Power Is Power” on Tuesday afternoon and it’ll feature the “All The Stars” artist along with The Weeknd and Travis Scott.

Additionally, SZA has been teasing an upcoming music video with a crowned DJ Khaled, wearing fits that appear to be in preparation for a big Westeros-esque war. Given Khaled’s heavy promotion (May 17!), it’s pretty obvious this is about his upcoming album, Father of Asahd.

“Power is Power” drops Thursday, April 18.

Winter has come, but it won’t be all-white.
