SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you have not seen the first six episodes of “Euphoria” Season 2. Labrinth doesn’t necessarily consider himself a composer. “I know I am, but I …

“I know I am, but I don’t look at myself that way,” the 33-year-old tellsIndeed, when most people think of a score, they likely hear music that is purely instrumental and orchestral. But Labrinth’s “Euphoria” compositions push that envelope, often incorporating his lush vocals and quick-witted raps. Though it’s atypical, the score fits perfectly in the world of East Highland, where teenagers navigate a dark world of lust, drugs and violence.

“The music’s not over for people, and I think that’s what we figured out in the show,” Labrinth says. “As soon as Season 2 came out, the first score was, like, in the charts.” However, there are plenty of new tracks in Season 2, notably “I’m Tired,” a gospel-inspired song prominently featuring Labrinth’s powerful vocals backed by organs. The song is particularly special to Labrinth for two reasons: he got to make a cameo in Episode 4 to sing it live, and he wrote it with Zendaya and Levinson.

“She was like, ‘Check out this scene, this is what we’re talking about.’ Then I [sang], ‘Hey lord, you know I’m tired.’ And then she was like, ‘Oh shit!’ And we just started writing the song,” he says. “It was all of that impulsive inspiration, you know? And then being in the scene, I was like, ‘I haven’t performed for a while and I’ve not been on American TV before or been an actor before — oh shit, what do I do?’ I [was] like, just be in the moment.

“The main approach with most of the music on the show is Sam is like, ‘Lab, just make what the fuck you’re making. Don’t let no one get in the way of what you’re making, just do what you do.’ It’s like he’s going to a record shop, and I’m the record shop,” he says. “Especially being in the music industry, sometimes you can feel pushed to do something that people are expecting to hear, whereas Sam’s just like, ‘I want to hear the weirdest shit in your hard drive.

“My ears just decided at one point, like anytime someone spoke to me I couldn’t hear anyone. I was like, ‘Shit I can’t make music anymore.’ I was literally like, ‘My career’s over,'” he says. “I had to rest my ears to get it back. I think this season has been, personally, as much as a rollercoaster as it’s been in the show.”
