Labrinth is well known for his work on Euphoria; his music and soundtrack became a key element to the show, creating a unique atmosphere and distinctive emotional depth necessary for the story. His work has incorporated many genres, including gospel, electronica, orchestral music, and more, reflecting both the composer’s personal style and the show’s complexity.  

Labrinth’s score gave life to the show’s and character’s intense themes of teenage life, love, drugs, and trauma. His work on Euphoria earned him an Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for the song ‘All For Us’. Labrinth also appeared in the show during season two, episode four, in a scene where the main character, Rue, has a hallucinatory moment in a church and he appears as a gospel singer performing his song ‘I’m Tired’, which Rue associates with her late father.   

Hans Zimmer, notably known for scoring films including Inception, The Dark Knight trilogy, Interstellar, Gladiator, and the most recent Dune movies, is joining the composition for Euphoria. Labrinth expressed his excitement for this collaboration on Twitter, saying “another chapter in the Euphoria universe! So great to join Hans, one of my heroes in film score, and bring some new magic to this new season. Love x.”.   

Sam Levinson, the show’s creator, expressed on Twitter that “it’s a true honor to be working alongside Hans. I wrote this season to the score of Interstellar and True Romance. So he’s been ingrained in the creative DNA since the beginning. I’m really proud of the work Labrinth and I have done in previous seasons and am excited for Hans to push us to new heights.”

Labrinth’s most well-known songs on the show include ‘All For Us’, ‘Still Don’t Know My Name’, ‘Mount Everest’, ‘I’m Tired’ with Zendaya, who plays Rue, ‘Formula’, and ‘Forever’.  

Over the years, Euphoria’s soundtrack has surpassed one billion streams worldwide, earned award recognition, a connection with a global audience, and a massive contribution to the show’s success, which was the second most watched show on HBO when it released back in 2019. 

The show itself had a massive hiatus and delay of three years due to strikes, the creator’s vision, cast members’ availability, and some not returning, as well as the unfortunate passing of one of their cast members, Angus Cloud, in 2023, who played the beloved character Fezco. There is no current release date for this third season; however, they have been in production since January.  

The iconic Italian tenor will be joined by a range of performers, including none other than the infamous music producer Hans Zimmer, who is known for creating the loved filmscores of movies such as Dune, The Lion King and The Dark Knight. Zimmer is one of the three artists who will be joining Bocelli on stage for what is seeming to be an incredible performance. Alongside Zimmer, the R&B singer Seal will be appearing alongside Bocelli. The ‘Kiss from a Rose’ singer is known for his soulful voice and iconic hits from the 1990s and 2000s. Another huge artist performing with Bocelli is Zucchero, the Italian singer songwriter, known as the “father of the Italian blues”. However these are not the only three special appearances set to take place, as a further eight artists are schedule to appear with Bocelli including: Nadine Sierra, Isabel Leonard, Loren Allred, Andrea Griminelli, Russandra Panfili, Luca Micheletti, and Joaquina.

Supporting Bocelli throughout the day includes his own son Matteo Bocelli, who will be performing his own exclusive set. Additionally, Bocelli’s daughter, Virginia Bocelli, at only twelve years old, will be performing alongside her father at some point during his set.

Bocelli’s huge concert will mark the first time that BST Hyde Park have organised a classical performance as a headline for their legendary festival, and any remaining tickets can be found here.

The announcement of Bocelli’s support has left many attendees desperate and in anticipation for further notifications for the full support lineup of other artists, with support acts for singers such as Stevie Nicks and Kylie Minogue still left to be announced.

The new version was released to mark the 10 year anniversary of their single “Pompeii,” taken from their debut album, Bad Blood. The track reached Number 2 in the UK Charts back in 2013 and is currently included in the Top 50 most streamed songs of all time in the UK.

The orchestral rendition of the track is titled “Pompeii MMXXIII.” Listen below.

Speaking on the collaboration with Hans Zimmer, Bastille frontman Dan Smith said, “Having the opportunity to work with the living legend that is Hans Zimmer, and his brilliant team, has been an absolute dream. Working with them on this new version of ‘Pompeii’ has been incredible and has put the biggest smiles on our faces throughout the whole wonderfully surreal experience.”

Smith had already been working with Hans Zimmer on other projects, with this being how this alternative version of “Pompeii” came to be created.

Hans Zimmer shared his thoughts on the track, saying, “It’s been proven time and time again that a beautiful, crafted song by a great band can have many lives and ‘Pompeii’ is a shining example of this.”

Zimmer continued, “Working hand in hand with Bastille and my team at Bleeding Fingers has been an exhilarating experience and an honour to be part of this remarkable journey. I’m so excited to share this rendition with you all!”

Bastille are currently touring the US to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Bad Blood. Their UK tour dates ended in July, with a commemorative double album version of Bad Blood also being released in July too.

The special edition reissue includes previously unheard demos, covers and live performances. The reissue is titled Bad Blood X (10th Anniversary Edition) and is available for purchase here.

In a press statement, frontman Dan Smith said, “When I started working on the songs that became ‘Bad Blood’ 10 years ago at a laptop in my bedroom, I never imagined that they’d be heard by so many people and then take us all over the world – it’s really mad to think about.”

He continued, “Ten years on, we wanted to put something special together to celebrate the album, whilst not messing with it too much. We had so much fun digging back through old artwork, photos and videos from that time to make a totally new package of artworks. My Dad even found an old CD-R of some of demos in the attic (that somehow people managed to pry out of my hands for a new 7” vinyl as part of this release – trust me… I didn’t think those versions would ever get heard).”

Speaking on the reissue, Smith concluded, “Putting all this together was such a nice way to step back into that world for a moment, and we really hope our fans feel the same way.”

Zimmer will be joined onstage by his band and the Odessa Opera Orchestra & Friends, performing numerous works from Zimmer’s vast and successful catalogue of film music. This will include pieces from the likes of The Lion King, Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean, Interstellar, The Dark Knight, The Last Samurai, and Dune.

According to NME, Zimmer expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming tour in a statement, saying: “I’m thrilled to return to the stage for another tour in Europe and excited to share this phenomenal show that the band and I are preparing for…I’m grateful to be able to play our music that brings together so many people for a truly unforgettable experience.”

The composer’s last performance in the United Kingdom took place in March, when he appeared with Ukraine’s Odessa Opera Orchestra at the O2 Arena in London. Zimmer commenced the performance with a stirring tribute to the people of Ukraine, saying: “When COVID stopped us from coming here 885 days ago, we booked our orchestra from the Ukraine, from Odessa, and we only managed to get 10 people out… So just welcome them…” he said before he introduced the orchestra, to a standing ovation… of the things which I thought was remarkable about the people that we did bring back out of the Ukraine, that were left behind from the orchestra, it was a lot of women. They taught me who the real wonder women are and so I would like to celebrate them with this little ditty called Wonder Woman.”

Listed below are the UK dates from Zimmer’s forthcoming 2023 European tour.

14/06/2023 – O2 Arena- London

As of today, the duo has released two new tracks from the score, following the reveal of the theme song in 2020, written and performed by Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell. The UK release of “No Time To Die” is scheduled for September 30^th, with the full score to be made available for streaming the following day.

The collaboration between Marr and Zimmer is truly a force to be reckoned with, as it combines the formidable talents of two musicians with vastly different backgrounds; Zimmer has been composing scores for films since 1982 and has worked time and time again with highly regarded directors on iconic films such as “Gladiator”, “Inception”, “The Lion King” and “The Dark Knight” to name just a few. Marr, on the other hand, has long been known for his stunning guitar work in groups such as The Smiths, The The and Modest Mouse, carving out a signature sound that will undoubtedly influence new players for years to come.

According to NME, Marr said last year regarding his contribution to the “No Time To Die” theme- was “thrilled” to have been able to collaborate with Zimmer and bring his guitar skills to the score, stating; “Growing up as a British boy in the late 60s, 70s, 80s, to me, the Bond theme should have guitar in it – especially the John Barry stuff”.

The two new tracks are presently available on all streaming services. You can check them out on Spotify down below, or at this link. Additionally, you can listen to the “No Time To Die” theme by Billie Eilish on all streaming services.

Describing the moment he received a call from Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, whom Zimmer has long known, he says, “I never thought we would work together on something like that, so it was surprising just to get the call.” From there he contacted Marr and said, “‘I have two questions to ask you. First question is, what’s the only guitar part worth playing in a movie?’ And he said, ‘the Bond part’. And I said, ‘yeah right. Second question: Do you think I should do the movie and would you play the guitar part?’”

And here we are today, with their names attached to what is pegged to be the biggest cinematic release of the new decade. While Zimmer, using his official Twitter account @HansZimmer, had retweeted this post from the official James Bond page back in mid-February, it seems that we are now looking at old news. Of course, this is no great surprise, for No Time to Die is just one of the many films to have seen their releases, or entire productions, delayed by the world-stopping impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, this original March 27th release date for the film’s hotly anticipated score will likely be pushed back to coincide the film’s November opening day.

This is affirmed by Amazon’s product page for the upcoming album, where it states on the CD’s product details as, indeed, having been released on November 13, a day after the proposed UK premiere. Quoted in an interview with record label Decca, who will be publishing the soundtrack this year, the film’s director Cary Joji Fukunaga is said to be “beyond excited that Hans is scoring No Time To Die. The music of Bond has always been iconic and I’ve already witnessed Hans adding his touch of genius to the Bond legacy.“

The composer is responsible for dozens of iconic scores for some of Hollywood’s most beloved films, including Pirates of the Caribbean, The Dark Night, Interstellar, Cool Runnings, True Romance, and The Lion King, which won an Oscar for ‘Best Original Score’ in 1994.

Zimmer played a couple of sold out dates last year at London’s Hammersmith Appollo, where both Johnny Marr and Pharrell Williams joined him on stage. Now with a taste for live performance Zimmer has announced a full European tour, including two more UK dates. Quoted in a press release he stated: “Performing a tour like this is something that I have always wanted to do, and I am thrilled that the time has finally come.

“I am very excited to get some of my very talented friends together and give our audiences an experience unlike any concert they have ever been to before.”
