With the final season of ‘Game Of Thrones’ dominating the ratings, the HBO show is aiming to heat up the charts with its companion soundtrack.

Compilation set ‘For The Throne’ arrived last month, boasting music “inspired by” the hit series.

Its lead single ‘Power Is Power’ unites SZA, The Weeknd, and Travis Scott.

For its accompanying video, which was unleashed moments ago, critically acclaimed director Anthony Mandler was drawn on.

Speaking on the visual, he said:

“We’re taking established artists and pulling them into the Game of Thrones world. The show establishes all these different kingdoms and worlds. What I want to do is integrate the color palettes of winter, the warmer tones and match that with today’s biggest stars.”

But, while an opportunity to showcase much of the project’s content for this year’s Coachella audience was missed, the Grammy-winner is pressing forward with the album’s already visually intensive promo campaign by unveiling its official accompanying film.

Taking to Twitter recently to make the announcement, the film – available through Apple Music – shares the same title as the LP and is available now for your viewing pleasure.  Details inside:

Barring the intermittent drop of standalone singles, fans in need of a refill from  Elle Varner have been a bit…umm…parched to say the least as it relates to getting new bodies of work from the R&B beauty.

That’s all set to change as she’s finally announced the arrival date of the forthcoming mixtape, ‘Ellevation.’  A gem designed to tide fans over until the release of her official sophomore album (the follow-up to 2012’s Billboard 200 top 5-peaking ‘Perfectly Imperfect’), ‘Ellevation’s announcement came as a surprise to fans and was accompanied by an official release date, cover artwork, and track list.

Although March 2019 saw self-proclaimed King of R&B Jacquees’ wrap the ‘4275 Tour’ in (designed to support his official 2018 debut album of the same name), the 25-year-old crooner is still giving fans some new music to tide them over until the release of the set’s follow-up.

The latest comes in the form of ‘Your Peace.’ 

Tapping rapper Lil Baby to assist, the mid-tempo groove comes as a throwback ode to 2000’s R&B.  Ahead of Quees’ well-anticipated sophomore LP (which he is reportedly hard at work on), look inside to hear his latest, summertime ready jam:

Case in point his 56-track eighth album ‘Heartbreak On A Full Moon.’
