Labrinth, the artist behind Euphoria’s iconic soundtrack, posted a cryptic message on social media late Thursday, voicing frustration with his record label Columbia as well as the show itself, saying he’s done with the entertainment industry.
“I’m done with this industry. Fuck Columbia [Records]. Double fuck Euphoria,” Labrinth wrote on Instagram. “I’m out. Thank you and good night x.”
Labrinth worked on the music for Euphoria’s first and second seasons and helped build the show’s moody, vibey sonic profile with tracks like “Forever,” “Still Don’t Know My Name” and “I Never Felt So Alone,” the latter of which featured Billie Eilish and earned a Grammy nomination. He released his fourth album, Cosmic Opera: Act I, earlier this year.
Labrinth was expected to return for the show’s upcoming long-awaited third season, but it’s unclear where in the process he was working on the new season. Last year, Hans Zimmer was also confirmed to serve as a composer for season three to collaborate with him.
“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,” Zimmer said at the time.
Labrinth has already received support on social media. As singer Kesha commented, “Take care of your peace my love. You are loved and supported.”
Columbia Records declined to comment. THR has reached out to Euphoria showrunner Sam Levinson for comment.
