I like when I find some Beyoncé song that could have come out in the Fifties. “I’m really into songs that could have been made in any decade. “When I make music, I don’t think about what era to emulate, really,” she says. It veered more toward the punk lane than her past album, Transangelic Exodus, which was replete with sax, keyboards and delightful bombast.įurman’s sound is an ideal match for the world of the show: a seemingly era-less small town in England where everyone dresses like it’s the Eighties but acts like it’s 2020. All the same stuff is happening.”įurman’s last album, Twelve Nudes, dropped in 2019. “It’s not that much of a stretch to connect with your teenage self because teenage angst doesn’t go away,” she adds. A lot of times I still feel that way today in my adult life.” A lot of the characters remind me of myself when I was a teenager. That’s what I write songs about a lot of the time already. “It feels like there’s no space for you to talk about them. “I related to the feeling of having all these worries that you don’t know how to talk about,” she says. The show balances on the razor’s edge of tragedy and comedy - it features both sexual assault and a comically horny production of Romeo and Juliet.įurman was brought on to the show to create a soundtrack of teenage angst, a feeling that she has yet to shake. Otis’ friend/love interest/business partner Maeve Wiley (Emma Mackey) also has her share of challenges: a drug addict mom and her lingering feelings for Otis among them.
Season Two sees Otis struggling with a new relationship - and his mother’s new relationship - while his friend, Eric (Ncuti Gatwa), ends up caught in a love triangle between a bad boy and a sweet Frenchman. The downbeat, wry track is the perfect accompaniment to the second season of the Netflix show, which tells the tale of high school student Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield), the son of a sex therapist (Gillian Anderson), who decides to start giving out sex advice at school - for a price. I wish I could get all this negativity out and never have to deal with it again.’” Like, ‘I’ve already felt all these intense feelings. Something about it works because it’s exhausted.
It was a normal day, but I felt like, ‘I don’t even know if I can do this day because it’s another depression day.’ But before I went out, I sang that into the tape recorder. “I honestly wrote it in three minutes on the way out the door. I thought it was half of a song,” she tells Rolling Stone. “When I first wrote it, I thought it was too simple to even be legitimate. Ezra Furman wrote Sex Education’s standout track “Every Feeling” during one of her “depression days.” The song is featured on The Sex Education Original Soundtrack, out Friday via Bella Union.
