‘Euphoria’ Composer Labrinth Says He’s “Done With the Industry” in Blunt Instagram Post
By Alexus Mosley
Labrinth, the musician and producer behind the iconic score for the HBO drama Euphoria, is making headlines after posting a blunt message on Instagram declaring that he is stepping away from the music industry.
The British singer, songwriter, and producer — who composed the atmospheric soundtracks for the show’s first two seasons — shared a stark message to social media that quickly began circulating online.
“I’m done with this industry.
F—k Columbia.
Double f—k Euphoria.
I’m out.
Thank you and good night x.”
The message appeared to reference his record label, Columbia Records, as well as the hit HBO series that helped bring his cinematic sound to a global audience. Labrinth’s work on Euphoria became one of the show’s defining elements. His haunting compositions and gospel-infused soundscapes underscored some of the series’ most emotional moments, helping establish the distinctive tone of the drama starring Zendaya.
The artist has not yet elaborated on the statement, leaving fans speculating about what may have led to the sudden declaration. Some online commenters have wondered whether the post signals frustrations with the music business, creative control, or tensions behind the scenes.
Neither Columbia Records nor representatives for Euphoria have publicly responded to the post as of now.
