Netflix's "Bridgerton" might have been living in a different time, but its music and soundtrack were definitely from today's era.
Set in the 1800s Regency era, the Netflix worldwide sensation "Bridgerton" did not feel like it came from the era where gilded glamour hailed from as its soundtrack made it sound like it is happening today.
A large chunk of the soundtrack was reimagined classical versions of today's pop songs. Upon its release along with the series, fans can't help but wonder who were the bright people behind the interesting route of the series' music.

Berlin and Los Angeles-based musicians Alex Tenner and Daniel Belardinelli are remote composers called "Duomo," who were the geniuses behind "Bridgerton's" soundtracks from both seasons.
However, tragic news says that Belardinelle apparently passed away last month at 49 years old.
An online obituary revealed that the classical composer died last April 26.

Alex Belardinelli Transformed Pop Songs to Classical Scores in 'Bridgerton'
Along with fellow composer Alex Tenner, Daniel Bellardinelli reimagined the way people nowadays hear their favorite chart-topping hits. Belardinelli helped create the classical covers of Ariana Grande's "thank u, next," Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams," and Billie Eilish's "bad guy."
The three songs were included in the official cover soundtrack of "Bridgerton" Season 1.

In the second season, Duomo, including Belardinelli, covered Alanis Morrisette's "You 'Oughta Know" and P!nk's "What About Us."
In a prior Billboard interview, Bellardinelli opened up about how the success of the "Bridgerton" cover soundtrack affected gum.
"Not gonna lie, it's always great to hear your music on the screen. This scene takes it to the next level for us in terms of audience reach. We're really proud and humbled, and thankful to all involved - including Taylor for the lovely song. I just started watching the series, but I confess to skipping to episode 6 for our scene. And it's a jam," he said.
Bellardinelli's family has started up a GoFundMe page to pool donations to cover his medical expenses.
As of this writing, no official word from Bridgerton's social media accounts was made to further react to the composer's passing.
