The dramatic departure of Labrinth from the 'Euphoria' music team raises questions about the future sound of the acclaimed HBO series.Coachella TodayLabrinth, the musician who was instrumental in developing the moody, dramatic sound of the first two seasons of the hit HBO series 'Euphoria,' will not be contributing to the show's music for Season 3. Instead, composer Hans Zimmer will be handling the score on his own, after previously being confirmed to collaborate with Labrinth.
Why it matters
Labrinth's music was a key part of 'Euphoria's' identity, with his tracks like 'Forever,' 'Still Don't Know My Name,' and the Grammy-nominated 'I Never Felt So Alone' featuring Billie Eilish becoming fan favorites. His departure raises questions about the creative direction of the show's music going forward.
The details
In March, Labrinth posted a cryptic message online blasting both 'Euphoria' and his record label Columbia Records, writing 'Fuck Columbia [Records]. Double fuck Euphoria.' He has since deleted the post. Zimmer, who was previously confirmed to be collaborating with Labrinth on the show's music, will now be handling the score for Season 3 on his own. Show director Sam Levinson said he doesn't know what caused the rift between Labrinth and the production.
