The first part of the third season of “Bridgerton” is already here! As announced by Netflix a few months ago, it premiered today, on May 16, with four episodes available for streaming, while the second part will follow on June 13, comprising the remaining four chapters.
The series centers around the Bridgerton family, eight siblings navigating the high society of Regency-era London as they seek companionship and love. It has been praised by the critic for its accurate depiction of the historical period developed.
The show’s music has been a key factor in its popularity. Not only does it put a modern twist on classical music by blending it with contemporary arrangements, but it also includes covers of pop hits in the style of the era depicted in the series. Naturally, everyone is eager to know which songs are featured in the third season’s soundtrack. Here, all you need to know.
Who wrote the score for the third season of ‘Bridgerton’?
The two minds behind the soundtrack heard in “Bridgerton” are Justin Kamps and Kris Bowers. Kamps serves as the music supervisor for the series, while Bowers is responsible for composing themes for the characters and their situations.
Kamps has already demonstrated his talent for curating music for television, as seen in “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Resident Evil”. He primarily focuses on providing music for romance productions, such as “Perfect Addiction” and “Love’s Greek to Me.”
In contrast, Kris Bowers has composed scores for several acclaimed, Oscar-winning films, including “Green Book,” “King Richard,” and “The Color Purple.” On the small screen, he has also contributed to “Mrs. America,” “Dear White People,” and “When They See Us.”
When will the album of the third season of ‘Bridgerton’ be released?
The album of Bridgerton’s third season has been released today, on May 16, coinciding with its debut on Netflix. This has been the standard procedure followed by the music department for all their previous albums.
However, since the third season will be split into two parts, not all songs will be released now. The music featured in the second part of the series will be released on June 13, the same day as the premiere of the other half of the third part.
On Spotify, the entire score will be included in a single album. However, for physical copies, it’s likely that the soundtrack will be split into two discs—one for the first part and another for the second part.
