AceShowbiz - Labrinth, the acclaimed artist responsible for the distinctive soundtrack of the hit series Euphoria, publicly declared his departure from the entertainment industry in a candid social media post on Thursday night.
In a blunt message shared on Instagram, Labrinth expressed deep frustration toward his record label Columbia Records and the show itself, writing, "I'm done with this industry. Fuck Columbia [Records]. Double fuck Euphoria. I'm out. Thank you and good night x."
Labrinth was instrumental in creating the moody and atmospheric sound that has become synonymous with Euphoria. He contributed to the first two seasons with memorable tracks such as "Forever," "Still Don't Know My Name," and the Grammy-nominated "I Never Felt So Alone," which featured Billie Eilish. Earlier this year, he also released his fourth studio album, Cosmic Opera: Act I.
Although Labrinth was expected to return for Euphoria's highly anticipated third season, details about his involvement remain unclear. Last year, it was announced that legendary composer Hans Zimmer would collaborate with him on the new season's soundtrack. Zimmer expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating, "Labrinth's music has shaped the show's identity and I'm looking forward to contributing to the ongoing story and helping shape this new season through music."
The artist's announcement has garnered support from peers on social media. Singer Kesha offered words of encouragement, commenting, "Take care of your peace my love. You are loved and supported."
Columbia Records has chosen not to comment on the matter. Additionally, The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Euphoria showrunner Sam Levinson for a statement but has yet to receive a response.
This unexpected declaration from Labrinth marks a significant moment for fans of both the artist and the show, raising questions about the future of the Euphoria soundtrack and his career moving forward.
