Labrinth - Euphoria (Original Score from the HBO Series) [2LP/ 150G]

Labrinth has had a busy couple of years, scoring his first TV series with HBO's Euphoria, releasing an album with his new supertrio, LSD (with Sia and Diplo), and co-writing the Beyoncé song "Spirit" as part of Disney's recent Lion King movie. This wide array of projects is nothing new for the London-based singer-songwriter-producer, whose music spans electronic, hip-hop, R&B, gospel, and jungle, among other sounds. Labrinth attributes this genre-mashing to the influence of his childhood home - an "unofficial music school," as he puts it, where his eight siblings each came in listening to a giant grab bag of artists. "I'm this 12-year-old kid being a sponge to all of these energies," he says. "It's like a bag of Skittles when I'm creating music."

His style got the attention of Sam Levinson, creator of Euphoria - which paved the way for Labrinth's opportunity to score the show. His soundtrack hums with soft electricity, perfectly complementing the journey of the main character, Rue, a teenager caught in limbo between the euphoria of a drug high and the harsh consequences of addiction. "When you look back to your teenage days," he says, "it feels semi-magical but semi-crazy and semi-psychotic. I wanted to make sure the music felt like those things."
