\n\tAfter creator Sam Levinson<\/a> chimed in on the Euphoria<\/a> composer\u2019s exit, Labrinth<\/a> is setting the record straight once again.<\/p>\n

\n\tAhead of the HBO<\/a> series\u2019 Season 3 premiere on Sunday at 9pm ET\/PT, the British musician called out people in Hollywood who \u201ccomfortably lie,\u201d explaining he exited the Golden Globe-winning series because he wouldn\u2019t \u201clet people treat me like shit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPeople will comfortably lie in this industry and still call themselves honest people,\u201d he wrote Saturday on his Instagram Story. \u201cSo no cap, I decided to remove whatever music I had in it. I spoke to HBO, as far as I know, we are cool. I left because, last truth, when I work for someone, their vision is paramount to me. But I don\u2019t let people treat me like shit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLabrinth\u2019s latest comment comes after he wrote last month that he\u2019s \u201cdone with this industry<\/a>\u201d in a since-deleted post, adding, \u201cFuck Columbia. Double fuck Euphoria. I\u2019m out. Thank you and good night.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHaving replaced him with Hans Zimmer for Season 3, Levinson has responded to Labrinth\u2019s initial statement, calling him an \u201cincredible collaborator\u201d and claiming \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d why he left the show after two seasons, crediting Labrinth with building \u201cthe foundation of the sound of Euphoria.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOn Euphoria, each character\u2019s storyline is like its own film in a way,\u201d Levinson explained to Rolling Stone<\/a>. \u201cIn general, I was less interested in needle drops and more interested in something that guided us through this world.\u2026 They\u2019re out of high school, so the pop roots of it have faded away. I see them in these landscapes, dealing with good and evil, the choices you make, the consequences, and the freedom of being older. How I imagined it visually, I wanted to lean into an old-fashioned Hollywood Western score.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLabrinth has composed the Euphoria score since the show\u2019s first season and his song \u2018All for Us\u2019 won the Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics. Last year, HBO announced that Labrinth was returning<\/a> to score the show\u2019s third season alongside Zimmer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After creator Sam Levinson chimed in on the Euphoria composer\u2019s exit, Labrinth is setting the record straight once…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":597613,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75,13461,5862,209221,106001],"class_list":{"0":"post-597612","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-euphoria","13":"tag-hbo","14":"tag-labrinth","15":"tag-sam-levinson"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=597612"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597612\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/597613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=597612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=597612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=597612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
