British singer, songwriter, and producer Labrinth announces his new album ‘COSMIC OPERA ACT I’ with the release of the single ‘God Spoke.’ The one-minute track is self-produced and will arrive later this month through Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment. This release marks a significant new phase for the artist, born Timothy Lee McKenzie, who achieved global recognition for his groundbreaking work composing and producing the score for the television series ‘Euphoria.’ His role in that project earned him an Emmy Award and solidified his reputation for innovative, genre-blending soundscapes. His previous solo albums, ‘Electronic Earth’ and the more recent ‘Imagination & the Misfit Kid,’ established his unique position in music, merging gospel, electronic, R&B, and orchestral pop into a distinct cinematic style.

The ‘COSMIC OPERA’ project title suggests an ambitious, conceptual work, with ‘ACT I’ indicating a larger narrative structure. Releasing a one-minute opening single like ‘God Spoke’ functions as a dramatic prologue rather than a conventional pop single, setting a specific tonal and thematic stage for the album. Labrinth’s career has evolved from early UK chart success with songs like ‘Beneath Your Beautiful’ to becoming a sought-after collaborator for artists like Sia, Diplo, and Zendaya. His ability to produce, write, and perform all elements of his music grants him a rare level of creative control, which this new project will likely exemplify. The move follows a period defined by his ‘Euphoria’ contributions, allowing him to pivot back to a personal, album-oriented statement.

Signing to Columbia Records represents a major label partnership for this ambitious endeavor. The short, hymnal nature of ‘God Spoke’ signals a return to the gospel and spiritual influences that have always underpinned his music, even at its most experimental. For fans, this announcement promises a full-length work that expands the sonic and emotional palette he explored on his previous album and his work with the supergroup LSD. The imminent release of ‘COSMIC OPERA ACT I’ positions Labrinth to reclaim the solo artist narrative, using the platform and recognition gained from his television work to launch a deeply personal, large-scale musical vision.
