  • Labrinth Releases “Mount Everest” from the Forthcoming Episode of Hbo’S Euphoria
    LABRINTH RELEASES “MOUNT EVEREST” FROM THE FORTHCOMING EPISODE OF HBO’S EUPHORIA SCORED THE ENTIRETY OF THE SERIES STARRING ZENDAYA / EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY DRAKE LISTEN: http://smarturl.it/LabrinthMountEverest WATCH THE VIDEO FOR HIS RECENTLY RELEASED NEW SINGLE "MIRACLE": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwnh1d9i5s4 The drama series EUPHORIA began it’s eight-episode run last Sunday on HBO and today Labrinth has released a track “Mount Everest” set to appear in the next episode this coming Sunday, June 23rd. The song, according to Labrinth, “is dedicated to achieving everything and realizing it means nothing.” He further explains that: "You hope that gloating would validate the time you spent accumulating all these meaningless things. But behind the cracks of the mask you hold up is someone that realizes the truth and wishes to be free. You say all these things like you believe them, hoping they could quiet the truthful noise in your mind. And then you finally realize... that all the things you left behind to be at the top of the world were available to you at the beginning. And thus the death of the old you begins." Responsible for scoring the entirety of the series, Labrinth has also contributed original tracks that will appear throughout the season starting with “Mount Everest”. On scoring the series the platinum- selling artist notes: I became involved with scoring Euphoria because I met the show creator Sam Levinson – who was a fan of my work and he really wanted me to get involved. I said yes to being a part of Euphoria after speaking with Sam and seeing his passion for the project – and without even seeing an episode! Scoring a TV show is something I have always wanted to do.

  • Pieces of a Woman
    PIECES OF A WOMAN Directed by Kornél Mundruczó Starring Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, Molly Parker, Sarah Snook, Iliza Shlesinger, Benny Safdie, Jimmie Falls, Ellen Burstyn **WORLD PREMIERE – In Competition – Venice Film Festival 2020** **OFFICIAL SELECTION – Gala Presentations – Toronto International Film Festival 2020** Press Contacts: US: Julie Chappell | [email protected] International: Claudia Tomassini | [email protected] Sales Contact: Linda Jin | [email protected] 1 SHORT SYNOPSIS When an unfathomable tragedy befalls a young mother (Vanessa Kirby), she begins a year-long odyssey of mourning that touches her husband (Shia LaBeouf), her mother (Ellen Burstyn), and her midwife (Molly Parker). Director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014) and partner/screenwriter Kata Wéber craft a deeply personal meditation and ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss. SYNOPSIS Martha and Sean Carson (Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf) are a Boston couple on the verge of parenthood whose lives change irrevocably during a home birth at the hands of a flustered midwife (Molly Parker), who faces charges of criminal negligence. Thus begins a year-long odyssey for Martha, who must navigate her grief while working through fractious relationships with her husband and her domineering mother (Ellen Burstyn), along with the publicly vilified midwife whom she must face in court. From director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014), with artistic support from executive producer Martin Scorsese, and written by Kata Wéber, Mundruczó’s partner, comes a deeply personal, searing domestic aria in exquisite shades of grey and an ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss.
