New Labrinth song from MacBook Pro livestream coming to Apple Music

The song Labrinth created during Apple's livestreamed MacBook Pro recording session is coming to Apple Music, giving listeners their first chance to hear the finished result of the nearly four-hour experiment.

The track is also scheduled for release on other streaming services, although availability may vary slightly between platforms. Listeners shouldn't expect the song to appear everywhere at precisely the same time.

The announcement follows Labrinth's November 4 recording session at Apple's Tower Theatre store in downtown Los Angeles. The British singer, songwriter, and producer spent nearly four hours creating a song while viewers watched the process unfold on YouTube.

The event was part of Apple's promotional campaign for its redesigned MacBook Pro. Rather than performing an existing track, Labrinth worked through the songwriting and production process while taking questions from viewers.

Throughout the session, Labrinth used the MacBook Pro's touchscreen to adjust mixer controls in Logic Pro 13, with a multitrack arrangement visible on the display. Viewers could follow the recording process as the song took shape, providing a look at how the new hardware works during an extended music production session.

The MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display launched on November 6, introducing a tandem OLED touchscreen to Apple's professional laptop lineup. Available with M5 Pro and M5 Max processors, the redesigned MacBook Pro supports direct interaction with creative applications instead of relying exclusively on a keyboard and trackpad.

Logic Pro 13 takes advantage of the touchscreen with an onscreen keyboard that supports multiple simultaneous notes, along with touch-enabled chord and drum pads. Musicians can play software instruments directly on the display, while the traditional input methods remain available.

Although the livestream served as a showcase for Apple's latest hardware and software, the November 10 release gives listeners a finished song rather than another demonstration of the recording tools.
