"Euphoria"'s Season 2 Soundtrack Is Mature Beyond Its Years

08/02/2022 - 12:20 PM

This season of HBO's "Euphoria [1]" is delivering all the iconic music we'd hoped to hear on the show. Fans welcomed the season two premiere [2] with open arms on Jan. 9, fully expecting more great jams — and we certainly weren't disappointed. Considering all the throwback tracks from 2Pac, Hall & Oates, Faith Evans, and more, the soundtrack for "Euphoria [3]"'s second season sounds extremely grown for a bunch of Gen-Z high schoolers — which complements the show's mature reputation [4].

On 21 Jan., the HBO series set a release date [5] for the official season two soundtrack, which arrives on streaming services on 25 Feb. via Interscope Records. Lana Del Rey released the first song on the soundtrack, "Watercolour Eyes," ahead of its release, and the moody track was also teased in a preview of episode three [6]. James Blake [7] and Labrinth [8] followed with their song "Pick Me Up [9]," also featured on the upcoming soundtrack.

Most of the original cast favourites from "Euphoria"'s first season are back in season two, including Zendaya [10], Hunter Schafer [11], Jacob Elordi [12], Angus Cloud [13], Algee Smith [14], Sydney Sweeney [15], Alexa Demie [16], Barbie Ferreira [17], Maude Apatow, and Javon Walton [18]. As expected, the show dives right back into the dangerous complexities of East Highland's teens, who are dealing with family trauma [19], hookups [20], heated rivalries [21], and everything in between. To ease your mind before watching the heavy episodes ahead [22], listen to every song featured on season two of "Euphoria" so far.
