“#How ‘Bridgerton’ puts a classical spin on modern pop<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

That string-laden sweetness that sets the stage for some 19th century romancing in the first episode of \u201cBridgerton\u201d \u2014 Netflix\u2019s hot new period drama<\/a> \u2014 isn\u2019t Vivaldi. (That comes later in the season.)<\/p>\n

Instead, that familiar-sounding instrumental is a classical spin on \u201cThank U, Next,\u201d Arian<\/a>a Grande\u2019s 2018 smash. It plays as courting season begins for heroine Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and other high-society debutantes, all trying to lock down a suitable suitor in Regency era London.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just seemed like a fun, cheeky way to score that scene,\u201d said music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas, who has curated soundtracks for other Shonda Rhimes hit shows such as \u201cGrey\u2019s Anatomy\u201d and \u201cScandal.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cOf course, you hear the lyrics in your head. The lyrics are being whispered subliminally.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank U, Next\u201d isn\u2019t the only modern pop song that gets DeLorean\u2019d on \u201cBridgerton.\u201d Maroon 5\u2019s \u201cGirls Like You,\u201d Shawn Mendes\u2019 \u201cIn My Blood\u201d and Billie Eilish\u2019s \u201cBad Guy\u201d also get corseted up for your sonic pleasure. The versions you hear on-screen \u2014\u00a0which are also featured on the new EP \u201cBridgerton: Covers From the Netflix Original Series<\/a>\u201d \u2014 had all been previously recorded by Vitamin String Quartet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have covered so many current pop songs so ingeniously, so they have a wealth of options,\u201d Patsavas told The Post.<\/p>\n

But another contemporary tune \u2014 \u201cStrange\u201d by UK soul singer Celeste \u2014 got a tailor-made take for \u201cBridgerton,\u201d courtesy of pianist Kris Bowers, who also composed the score for the series, and cellist Hillary Smith.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Duomo takes Taylor Swift\u2019s \u201cWildest Dreams\u201d \u2014 originally released in 2015 \u2014 for a string fling that plays during a steamy sex montage. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe tried many, many covers in this spot, and this was the winner, the very best piece of music to accompany this quite intense scene,\u201d said Patsavas. \u201cOnce we saw it cut to picture, it was just all about hoping that Taylor would say yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

In order to clear the rights to these songs, Patsavas shows the music stars a rough cut of the scene planned for usage or at least gives them \u201ca robust descript<\/a>ion\u201d of the action. \u201cI take it very seriously that artists are excited about what they are lending their music to,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

By putting a current twist on classical music in \u201cBridgerton,\u201d Patsavas \u2014 who also worked on the \u201cTwilight\u201d film series \u2014 is hoping \u201cto invite a young viewer in,\u201d she said. \u201cBut honestly, these are pop songs, and so it\u2019s not just for young viewers \u2014 it\u2019s really for everybody.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
