The Power of 3, a new supergroup power trio comprising Orianthi, Cindy Blackman Santana, and Rhonda Smith, have unveiled their self-titled debut album slated for release on December 11th through She2Music. Prior to the album's launch, the band has shared two songs, "War in the Streets" as the lead single and "Treat Me Like a Lady."

"War in the Streets" is described as a Hendrix-style bluesy rocker, with the three virtuosos showcasing their talents by focusing on the unique magic of jamming together on a great riff. The bass is deep in the pocket, while the drums provide an energetic core. A standout is Orianthi's lengthy guitar solo that is both singable and hooky.
