Variety interviewed Angry Mob’s Sean Harrison and Debra Delshad on how they developed the perfect sync for Bridgerton with composer and performer Steve Horner.
Harry Styles just announced that he has an album coming in May, but superfans might not have to wait as long to hear a new version of “Sign of the Times.” A string arrangement of Styles’ first single, originally released in 2017, appears in the frothy period drama “Bridgerton,” which premieres its second season on Netflix this Friday (March 25). The tune starts and stops a few times during a pivotal scene.

For his cover of “Sign of the Times,” Horner used a combination of shorter sampled strings and longer played strings, which he performed, as it were, using a breath controller, “blowing the notes rather than bowing them.” This is an organic and expressive way of creating the string versions in the box that have a lot of character. It is a perfect match for the Regency period sounds of “Bridgerton.”
