Labrinth Drops Unreleased Track After Blasting Columbia Records & Euphoria
In a stunning turn of events, British musician and composer Labrinth has surprised the entertainment world by releasing an unreleased track online, just one day after announcing his departure from the music industry and launching scathing criticisms at both Columbia Records and the hit HBO series Euphoria. The Emmy-winning artist shared the new music on his Instagram account, following a cryptic post on March 13 where he wrote "F*** Columbia" and "Double F*** Euphoria" without any further context or explanation.
Speculation Mounts Over Euphoria Season 3 Soundtrack
The sudden post spread rapidly across social media platforms, and the subsequent release of the unreleased track has ignited intense speculation among fans and industry observers alike. Many believe the new music could be directly connected to the highly anticipated Euphoria Season 3 soundtrack, which is scheduled to premiere on April 12. Comments on Labrinth's posts have been particularly vocal, with numerous fans asserting that the series would not feel the same without his distinctive musical contributions.
Uncertainty Surrounds Labrinth's Role in Euphoria Season 3
Labrinth had been widely expected to return as a composer for Euphoria Season 3, which is created by Sam Levinson and will feature music from Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer, who joined the project last year. When Zimmer's collaboration was first announced, Labrinth publicly expressed excitement about working alongside one of his long-time inspirations and bringing fresh creative energy to the series. However, his recent social media outbursts have cast significant doubt on whether any of his composed music will actually appear in the upcoming season.
Interestingly, Labrinth was spotted with Sam Levinson at Paris Fashion Week just days before the controversy erupted online, adding another layer of intrigue to the unfolding drama. The nature of their discussion remains unknown, but it has fueled further questions about the state of their professional relationship.
Labrinth's Historic Connection to Euphoria
Labrinth's association with Euphoria dates back to the show's premiere in 2019. His song All For Us, performed in collaboration with Zendaya, quickly became one of the most recognizable tracks from the series. The song achieved notable success, reaching number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and earning a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics, solidifying Labrinth's critical and commercial impact on the show's identity.
Euphoria Season 3 Details and Cast Updates
The new season of Euphoria is set to return after a significant time jump, with the characters having graduated from high school. The ensemble cast includes returning stars such as Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, and Hunter Schafer, alongside several new additions. Notable newcomers include Danielle Deadwyler, Natasha Lyonne, Eli Roth, Rosalía, and guest star Sharon Stone. A total of eight episodes are planned to air beginning on April 12, promising fresh narratives and expanded storylines.
As the entertainment community awaits further developments, Labrinth's unexpected actions have highlighted the often turbulent dynamics between artists, record labels, and television productions. Whether this marks a permanent rift or a temporary dispute remains to be seen, but it has undoubtedly captured global attention and raised important questions about creative control and artistic expression in the modern media landscape.
