With every new season of Netflix’ Bridgerton comes orchestral versions of modern songs playing throughout scenes of balls, rendezvous, and other moments that require violins.
Like the Season One’s string version of Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams,” Season Two of the rom-dram has stepped up its game with a new version of Alanis Morissette’s classic “You Oughta Know.”
A video of Morissette performing the instrumental version, featuring Duomo and Kroma on strings, sees Alanis sitting among a garden of hanging flowers resembling the Bridgerton’s own seen in the series. And while the original was an already vengeful song, the new version elevates the alt-rock classic to a new level of angst captured by the season’s lovers, Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley).
One of many great instrumental covers in this new season of Bridgerton, another alt-rock tune has been added to the fold, with Nirvana’s “Stay Away” orchestrating the Viscount Anthony Bridgerton’s frustration as he searches for the perfect wife among the ladies of the town. Sweden’s pop icon Robyn is also featured with her 2010 ballad “Dancing On My Own,” covered by Vitamin String Quartet and played during Anthony and Kate’s first dance as they try to keep their brimming romantic feelings undercover.
