“When it comes to the emotional core of the show, we’d be remiss not to mention its poignant soundtrack, which is full of actual strings, especially string covers of pop music.” – Popsugar
“Bridgerton‘s multiple ball scenes were soundtracked by classical versions of contemporary pop songs, which is a genius way to modernize a show without sacrificing the period aesthetic. Like, I don’t know about you but I could watch Daphne and Simon twirling around to “In My Blood” for hours, and I’d like to request string quartet versions of the rest of Shawn Mendes’ music ASAP, thanks.” –Cosmopolitan
“A surprise topic of conversation that blew up was its playful use of music, a seamless combination of Bowers’ score with pop covers” – CBC
