Game of thrones album muse series#

Two songs from For the Throne are already available to stream. Now HBO and Columbia Records have teamed up to give us all what no one asked for: An entire album of Thrones-inspired tunes, featuring appearances by A$AP Rocky, Ellie Goulding, Joey Bada$, Lil Peep, MuseвЂ™s Matthew Bellamy, Mumford & Sons, SZA, The Weeknd, Travis Scott, The National, and Ty Dollars $ign. I think Sansa Stark is going to end up becoming ruler of the Seven Kingdoms.Game of Thrones has a long history of somewhat embarrassing musical collaborations, from relatively innocuous incognito appearances by real-life members of bands like Coldplay and Snow Patrol as Westerosi musicians, to the release of two mixtapes, to Ed SheeranвЂ™s painful cameo as a tuneful Lannister soldier whose a capella stylings we all were forced to just sit around and listen to, for some reason.

вЂњItвЂ™s about love and death and betrayal and revenge and power and longing and loyalty.вЂќДЄmong HarrisвЂ™ tunes are вЂњFrom the Grave,вЂќ a ballad sung by singer-songwriter James Arthur, which he says captures the showвЂ™s spirit of вЂњundying loveвЂќ the menacing вЂњWolf at Your Door,вЂќ performed by sister duo Chloe x Halle and inspired by вЂњGoTвЂќ sisters Arya and Sansa Stark and the brooding вЂњBaptize Me,вЂќ X AmbassadorsвЂ™ song with Jacob Banks that вЂњset the blueprintвЂќ for the album.ДЄs for how it will all end when the вЂњGames of ThronesвЂќ finale goes down May 19, Harris says, вЂњI would love to see Daenerys and Jon ruling the Seven Kingdoms, but I donвЂ™t think thatвЂ™s gonna happen.

вЂњThe dramatic elements of the show are so easy to write stuff to,вЂќ he says.

Harris - who co-wrote eight of the songs and served as associate soundtrack producer - signed up for Westeros duty in December, while X Ambassadors were working on their upcoming album вЂњOrionвЂќ (due June 14) with producer Ricky Reed, who executive-produced вЂњFor the Throne.вЂќ ItвЂ™s an eclectic mix, but it all holds together surprisingly well with the moody atmosphere and musings about kingdoms, crowns and, natch, thrones. Mumford & Sons, Maren Morris, Ellie Goulding, A$AP Rocky and MuseвЂ™s Matt Bellamy are also on the album.

The all-star lineup for this вЂњGame of ThronesвЂќ soundtrack certainly demonstrates the castle-crushing power of the series in its final season. вЂњThe Weeknd, being the mysterious man from the north up in Canada, is singing a song that could easily be related to Jon Snow, the King of the North,вЂќ says Harris, 30, of the parallels between the вЂњCanвЂ™t Feel My FaceвЂќ crooner and Kit HaringtonвЂ™s вЂњGoTвЂќ character in the hypnotic, ping-ponging вЂњPower Is Power.вЂќ He co-wrote вЂњPower Is PowerвЂќ - the first single from вЂњ For the Throne: Music Inspired by the HBO Series Game of Thrones,вЂќ out Friday - which features The Weeknd, SZA and Travis Scott. ItвЂ™s not as much of a stretch as you might think, according to X Ambassadors frontman Sam Harris.
