Retired singer Timothy Lee McKenzie, also known as Labrinth, shared an Instagram post of a musical piece, and netizens feel that it is a leaked soundtrack from the third season of Euphoria. Social media users posted their reactions to the song. One Instagram user (@erika.witha_k) commented:
“Drop ALL OF IT. Burn it down.”
While some Instagram users wrote that the music was from Euphoria, others mentioned that Timothy should not stop making music.
“I have a feeling I’m hearing the unreleased euphoria soundtrack and I’m here for it king,” a netizen (@sammyroww) speculated.
“You don’t need the label. The label needs you. You don’t need them to prove your worth. You are enough. Don’t stop making music. Don’t let them let you down. Don’t stop believing, my friend. Believe in yourself,” a social media user (@sherwinstark) wrote.
“The music was always there before the label, don’t you dare take it out on your music or God gifted Talent. Keep creating my friend, the world needs you and your music to heal and feel,” an online commentator (@ritamorar) shared.
Netizens poured their love for the singer as many wrote that his music was the soul of the show.
“They need to respect that your music is like 90% of why that show was successful,” another Instagram user (@_spencerjonesmusic) wrote.
“WE LOVE YOU!!! YOUR MUSIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE ACTUAL SOUL OF THAT GOD FORSAKEN SHOW!!! YOURE A MAGIC MAN,” a netizen (@etihwaneis) reacted.
“THESE LYRICS PAINT A PICTURE. MY GOD. DO NOT FUMBLE LABRINTH,” a social media user (@marc_anthony_aguilar) mentioned.
What did Labrinth say about Euphoria in his social media post?
According to a report by the BBC, Timothy has commented that he is stepping away from the show. Taking to his Instagram, he wrote:
“I’m out. F*ck Columbia. Double f*ck Euphoria. I’m out. Thank you and good night.”
The show’s creator, Sam Levinson, was at the heart of many controversies. According to a report by Parade from 2023, there were claims of long working hours due to changes in the script. Actor Maude Apatow once said that there would be times when they shot all night and were tired by the time the Sun rose.
While speaking to Billboard at the 2024 Grammy Awards show, Labrinth said that making music was a spiritual activity for him. He added:
“I always want my music to move me and I hope it would do it to someone else so that’s the way I think when I’m writing a song.”
Speaking about working on Euphoria, Labrinth said that during the first season, he worked in his garage in the UK. For the second season, the process became more collaborative, and he worked closely with Zendaya and Sam Levinson. He said both experiences were great, but the most important thing was making music that truly connected with him first before trying to connect with others.
