How Vitamin String Quartet Charmed The World With Their Classical Covers On 'Bridgerton'

: We were actually contacted directly by the music supervisors for the show who actually have a history with us. They've worked with us previously for one of the first big placements that we got, including an on-camera placement, for. It was kind of a big deal. We were included both musically and on camera in Blair's wedding episode, which was a big episode for the show. We did two songs, a Pat Benatar song and an INXS song.

We sit around with the arranger, principally the arranger for these songs was Jim McMillan, who also produced the tracks. We get to sit down and figure out what voicing on the strings can create this kind of lead. Sometimes you're literally dealing with a rap verse, which doesn't have much of a melody, it's kind of atonal.

It’s also worth noting that our performers are special people. They're artists in their own right. And they have very diverse careers and doing pop repertoire isn't something that they just added on to their classical training. They're native to it. As much work as we do on our end in picking the music and shaping it, the arrangements, production, mixing, all those things, they have to bring an interpretive skill to it. There's no way for us to tell someone how to do that.

You get into those kinds of things of “Where can the playful textures come from?” both in her voice and in the rhythms that are being created. You have to look at each track as its own thing. With Ariana, it's this playful, delicate, vulnerable, but then there's these moments that sort of shine through where you kind of crack through that vulnerable facade.: James and I were just talking about this the other day, her music is surprisingly sophisticated. It's the role of dance.
