Euphoria (Original Score From The HBO Series)
Labrinth
By Maeve C.
Labrinth's score for the first season of Euphoria uses his voice as part of the instrumental setting. Gospel harmonies, distorted electronics and brief melodic figures connect the cues, giving the series a sound that can move quickly between intimacy and agitation.
“Heaven” and “Forever” show how a repeated vocal phrase can carry emotion without a conventional verse and chorus. Heard as an album, the short pieces form a sequence of changing textures. Their scale often remains small, even when the processing makes a single voice sound much larger.
