Labrinth Denounces 'Euphoria,' Music Industry

On Thursday, March 13, 2026, Emmy-winning composer Labrinth publicly expressed disillusionment with the music industry and the HBO series "Euphoria" via an Instagram post. The musician, known for scoring "Euphoria" since 2019, wrote, "I’m done with this industry. Fuck Columbia. Double fuck ‘Euphoria.’ I’m out. Thank you and good night x." This statement precedes the third season premiere of "Euphoria" on April 12, for which Hans Zimmer was also announced as a composer alongside Labrinth in 2025.

Labrinth is currently signed to Columbia Records, which released his album "Cosmic Opera Act 1" in January. His contributions to "Euphoria" have included popular tracks such as "All for Us" and "Never Felt So Alone," the latter earning a Grammy nomination. Representatives for Labrinth, HBO, and Columbia Records have not yet commented on the post. The artist's social media comments section received supportive messages from peers, including Kesha and Skylar Grey.
