Here’s Every Pop Song the ‘Bridgerton’ Soundtrack Turned Into Classical String Quartets

If you’re in one of the 63 million (!!!) households that have watched Netflix’s latest hit series, chances are, you’re also already having a love affair with Bridgerton’s soundtrack. And in case you haven’t realized yet, it’s also full of classical covers of modern-day songs that are currently very popular. (Vis)count us obsessed.

What’s so satisfying about Bridgerton on Netflix is that it makes a serious effort to refresh the period drama genre. Based in the 18th-century’s Regency-era, the series follows the Bridgertons and other families in high society London during social season—a.k.a. when balls, dinners, and debutantes’ first appearances send the city into a romantic whirlwind. While all of that might sound very formal (and believe us, the fashion on Bridgerton most certainly is), this series spices things up with its secret affairs and clever nods at today’s modern times, with none other than some covers of 21st-century pop songs. Of course, this update was a very conscious choice by Bridgerton’s showrunner.

“The music for us was kind of an evolution we found when making the show as the cuts were coming in,” showrunner Chris Van Dusen told Oprah Mag. “It really goes to the idea of making this feel different than your other period shows. Whether it’s music or the world of the show, the scripts, the sets, the costumes; it all comes back to infusing things through our own unique modern lens and making things feel relatable to whoever’s watching.”
