Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd have reportedly joined forces for a new single, which will appear in the Avatar: The Way of Water soundtrack.
The track, titled “Nothing Is Lost (You Give me Strength),” was written by The Weeknd and produced by the legendary electronic music trio, who have become frequent collaborators of the chart-topping “Blinding Lights” singer. The new song will be released on December 15th at 3pm ET, mere hours before the James Cameron-directed film swoops into theaters.
Swedish House Mafia’s resounding, cinematic production bellows underneath brooding vocals from the The Weeknd, who croons, “I thought I could protect you from paying for my sins / You give me strength / I would do either way / Nothing’s lost, no more pain.”
