When they choose songs that have already been covered, Justin sets out to find something that would suit the Regency Era—even though Bridgerton is set in a fictional world. “I’m trying to, as much as I can, filter out things that maybe wouldn’t make sense for the period,” he explained, adding, “It’s not like they’re going to have an electric keyboard at one of the Queen’s balls.”
It’s a job that Justin takes seriously as someone who is a bonafide music lover. He passionately about finding the right cover, particularly of Alanis Morissette‘s “You Oughtta Know,” saying, “That’s what I love about these string quartet covers is that you can take this amazing badass song and turn it into something gorgeous and luscious and something completely different.”
And though it’s not his goal, Justin said that one of the biggest compliments is when someone doesn’t recognize a song, explaining, “That kind of lets me know that our goal of making the string covers feel like they could have fit in that time period is working.”
