It wouldn’t be Bridgerton without its now trademark music. With the new series, which dropped on Netflix on 16 May, comes a new playlist of pop tunes to receive the Bridgerton string quartet ‘treatment’.

Series three features Vitamin String Quartet covers of Billie Eilish’s Happier Than Ever, Sia’s Cheap Thrills and Dynamite by Korean superstars BTS. The Nashville-based Atwood Quartet covers Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey’s Snow on the Beach.

More will be revealed as new episodes are released over coming weeks.

One of several string projects created by the CMH Label Group, an independent record company based in Los Angeles, Vitamin String Quartet (VSQ) draws on a pool of session musicians and arrangers and has, since 1999, produced more than 300 string renditions of pop artists. Not too shabby for a group that is essentially anonymous.
