I’m a big fan of the TV show Sex Education for a lot of reasons. Otis is a great character with lots of interesting but relatable issues. His high school seems completely insane, his friends, enemies, acquaintances are all good characters. But the first thing that got me hooked on the show was the fact that it featured so much music from singer songwriter Ezra Furman.

Ezra Furman has long been one of my favorites his live shows are a great experience. Who better to set the musical tone than someone who writes so eloquently about the obstacles facing down those in the LGBTQI community. So much of the conversation around sex has changed in the last couple of decades, and it’s nice to see a show that covers all of it with respect and reverence.

In the last couple of weeks an album of music from the show was released by Ezra Furman, featuring some older songs and some written specifically for the show. The single, “Every Feeling,” got a new video released .

The song is a great introduction to his work. If you’re not a fan already, check this one out and then move on to his other amazing albums that have come out over the last six or seven years. The Sex Education soundtrack gathers the original songs that Furman composed for the first series and the brand new second series, whilst adding tracks featured on the show that can be found on prior Furman albums such as Perpetual Motion People and Transangelic Exodus. Lining up alongside older cover versions of LCD Soundsystem’s I Can Change and Melanie’s The Good Book is a new rendition of Devil Or Angel, The Clovers’ doo-wop jewel from 1956. It all adds up to a bumper 19-track set of Furman’s trademark enthusiastic emotional catharsis.

Ezra Furman returns with the soundtrack of special songs written from season 1 and 2 of the hit Netflix TV show. The 19-track LP is released via Bella Union Records. When the makers of the hit Netflix series Sex Education told Ezra Furman, “We want you to be the Simon & Garfunkel to our The Graduate”, they clearly recognised a kindred spirit. Who better to articulate all that awkwardness and alienation than Furman?

Ezra Furman delivered a powerful acoustic live set for Les Inrocks featuring his song “I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend”, which appeared on his latest album “Twelve Nudes”. Installed on a red sofa in the privacy of the Gibson showroom, Ezra drops a performance on edge by fixing the right lens in the lens. The year was busy for the artist, between the promo and the concerts surrounding the release of his latest album, and at the same time the composition and recording of the super soundtrack for the Netflix event series, Sex Education , whose second season came out a few days ago.

Moreover, Ezra Furman announced in a press release the January 24th release of the OST album in digital. Nineteen new tracks will be available – Every Feeling is already on Youtube. Read also: Ezra Furman: rage and spirituality in his fifth disc “Twelve Nudes” “As a fan of many high school comedies such as The Breakfast Club and 10 Things I Hate About You, I understood how entertaining and emotional music can be. I wanted to take up the challenge, ”he said in the press release.

If the soundtrack is so beautiful, it is because the producers trust the singer-songwriter: “We want you to be for us what Simon & Garfunkel were for The Winner”, they would have said to Furman.

‘Every Feeling’ is by Ezra Furman and features in the hit Netflix series ‘Sex Education’.

Paul Weller

Paul Weller’s first ever film score is set for release Friday 10th March on vinyl LP, CD, download and stream.

A former youth boxing champion, Jimmy McCabe (Johnny Harris), is a man desperately in search of hope, but looking in all the wrong places. When he hits rock bottom he turns to his childhood boxing club and the only family he has left: gym owner Bill (Ray Winstone) cornerman Eddie (Michael Smiley) and promoter Joe (Ian McShane). In a battle between fear and faith, Jimmy risks his life, as he tries to stand tall and regain his place in the world.

‘Jawbone’ hits UK cinemas on 17th March.

“Paul would constantly send through any new ideas, demos, or recordings, and what was unique and beautiful about this approach was that Paul’s new compositions were now inspiring and influencing the story as I was re-writing it. I’d also send Paul through new drafts of the script, or any new ideas as they were forming along the way, and a beautifully collaborative process evolved”
– Johnny Harris

‘The Ballad Of Jimmy McCabe’ is available now

The 1975 – ” Medicine ” Written for the “Drive” Re-score

After we stole him we made our way from Los Angeles through the Californian desert to Las Vegas. Drowning my sorrows and (narrowly) avoiding conflict from many directions… I sat down with Jim (Zane Lowe’s producer) and he began to explain to me how he was in the process of rescoring a movie and did we want to be involved. The film in question was the modern classic ‘Drive’. So of course my answer was ‘yes’. We wrote ‘Medicine’ for our chosen scenes.

‘Medicine’, its title and sentiment, goes all the way back to the original The 1975 project that was based in my bedroom. It’s a new piece of music informed by the genesis of our band and our love for ‘Drive’ as a film. Having the opportunity to rescore a movie of which we were already so familiar with provided us with a sense of knowing and allowed us to be slightly more introspective than we maybe would have been approaching something unknown. The movie itself plays with the duality of resignment and hope — and this is most obvious and stirring in the scenes we chose to score.

The song is a testament to that same idea and has in turn become one of our most personal and best loved pieces of music to date. I won’t delve into what the song is about lyrically because frankly I want to put those ideas to bed; but being provided with the context in which ‘Medicine’ came to be.
