Ahead of Sunday’s season 3 premiere of Euphoria and this weekend’s Coachella performance, composer Labyrinth spoke about the show and his music.
In a new Instagram Story, he wrote, “People lie so easily in this industry and still call themselves honest. So there’s no limit and I’ve decided to delete all the music that was on it.”
He continued, “I talked to HBO, and as far as I can tell, we’re cool. I left because the bottom line is when you work for someone, their vision comes first to me, but I can’t let people treat me like shit.”
The comment appears to have come after Sam Levinson told Rolling Stone, “He was a great collaborator and really laid the foundation for the sound of ‘Euphoria,'” but Levinson added that because the show aired five years early, the characters have graduated from high school, so “the pop roots are gone.” “Generally, I was less interested in needle drops and more interested in something that would guide me through this world,” he said.
Composer Hans Zimmer will lead the score with full composer credit when the new season airs on Sunday night.
Last month, Labyrinth, who composed the music for seasons 1 and 2 of Euphoria, appeared to distance himself from the show, writing, “This industry is over. Fuck Columbia. Double fuck Euphoria.” It came out. Thank you and good night X. ”
Labrinth is best known for his contributions to the score and soundtrack for “Euphoria,” with songs such as “All for Us,” “Formula,” “Mount Everest,” and the Grammy-nominated “Never Felt So Alone,” which featured vocals by Billie Eilish, racking up millions of streams.
