The recent trend of transforming popular songs into orchestral covers has gained significant momentum. This phenomenon, similar to the slowed-down versions of classic rock songs used in early 2000s trailers, has captivated audiences worldwide.
Popularizing Orchestral Covers
While the Netflix series Bridgerton did not invent the orchestral cover, it has played a crucial role in popularizing this trend. Since its first season in 2020, the show has featured orchestral versions of well-known pop songs. As season three continues, Part 2 promises to introduce a new selection of regal covers.
Featured Covers in Season Three
The evolving relationship between Colin and Penelope, alongside the intricate royal drama, will be accompanied by the following covers:
Ariana Grande, “POV”
Coldplay, “Yellow”
Demi Lovato, “Confident”
Ellie Goulding, “Lights”
Imagine Dragons, “Thunder”
Taylor Swift, “You Belong With Me”
Original Songs
In addition to these covers, Netflix released its first original song for the series, “All I Want,” performed by Tori Kelly.
Insights from the Music Supervisor
Music Supervisor Justin Kamps explained the impact of these covers in a statement to Netflix. He noted that the familiar tunes help audiences connect with the characters and their emotions. Kamps emphasized, “It’s a good link for everyone to instantly recognize their own feelings in these characters that are in a very different environment than they are. But these songs that people know immediately help connect you even more to these characters. And, obviously, they’re all dealing with feelings that everyone still deals with now.” The unique style of the covers enhances the show’s dance sequences and draws viewers further into the storyline.

Bridgerton season three Part 2 will be available starting June 13. To stay updated on the latest trends and entertainment news, visit HitPlay.
