Ezra Furman has shared a new EP featuring songs from the final season of Sex Education.
The American artist is an ever-present in the show, her songwriting helping to guide the tone and mood of the series. Working closely with the creative team, Ezra Furman has penned original material for each season, and returns for the fourth and final outing.
Fresh from 2022 album ‘All Of Us Flames’, Ezra Furman has penned three new songs for this series closer. ‘You Like Me’ opens the EP, followed by ‘Tether’ and climactic track ‘Honeycomb’ – and they’re online in full now.
Discussing her role, Ezra Furman comments…
“What a songwriter craves is an outlet for her songs. Somewhere to put them, something to do with her passion for arranging words into melody and maximizing their impact. And, of course, an audience. In this regard, the job of writing and recording music for ‘Sex Education’ was all that I craved and more. Here was a whole world of empathetic characters and a compelling plot that had space for my voice and my band’s music to punctuate it. I have loved the task of making music for this brightly-colored landscape and its tales of teenagers finding their way to better and healthier sex lives.”
“Being asked to write songs that match the tone of the show, I was surprised by how deeply I engaged with the characters’ emotions. Effective music has to come from an emotional place, and at first I wasn’t sure I could do it. It is a testament to the show’s writing, acting and direction that it wasn’t hard at all for me to connect to the characters’ inner lives. They awakened genuine feelings about my own life, and allowed me to create with sincerity and heart.”
Tune in now.
