In our second installment, we’re talking the music of Bridgerton (by Kris Bowers) with composer Christy Carew. Everyone has been exclaiming over the brilliant use of music in the show so we wanted to talk to an expert! We dove deep into all the themes, the development of the sound, and the parts we absolutely can’t get enough of. We also have her dish over her favorite Bridgerton and what she loved most about the series.

So many thanks to Christy Carew for joining us for this episode!
