"Bridgerton" is renowned for its original soundtrack, which, in addition to completely original compositions by Kris Bowers, includes classical renditions of popular contemporary pop and rock songs.

The soundtrack of the Netflix spinoff series "Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story" features covers of popular songs by SZA, Beyoncé, and others, following in the footsteps of its progenitors.

Alicia Keys performed a classical rendition of her 2003 hit single "If I Ain't Got You" with a 74-piece orchestra comprised solely of women of color.

Alicia Keys poured her entire being into her 2003 single "If I Ain't Got You." In the song, Keys explains that nothing in life matters (fame, wealth, diamond jewelry, everything) if you don't have someone to share it with. The only thing that matters as Queen Charlotte and King George III navigate the ups and downs of their relationship is their affection for one another.

On May 8, the reimagined song was released alongside a brand-new "Bridgerton"-inspired music video. Some of the new show's tunes were written by previous "Bridgerton" composers and music groups, such as Bowers and The Vitamin String Quartet, while others were written by newcomers, such as Caleb and Brian Chan. "Queen Charlotte," which is presently available on Netflix, focuses on the younger years of its titular character, from her ascent to the throne to her romance with King George III.

The show also chronicles the older "Bridgerton"-timeline of Queen Charlotte's efforts to produce an heir capable of continuing her and King George's legacy. Many critics have hailed "Queen Charlotte" as the finest installment in the franchise's history.

Meanwhile, Keys might be so busy these days she's failing to show her husband how grateful she is for him.

Swizz Beat has just disclosed that his most recent gift for his wife, Alicia Keys, may have been a failure. In a recent interview with radio host Angie Martinez, the legendary Ruff Ryders producer stated that he believes the "Girl on Fire" vocalist did not appreciate the $500,000 Mercedes-Maybach designed by the late Virgil Abloh that he purchased for her birthday in March. He added that the finished vehicle, complete with tinted windows, is still sitting at the dealership. Martinez stated that Keys did not appear to be a "flashy" person.

Beatz believes that the reason his wife may not appreciate the car is because she is afraid of what others will say about her. Alicia Keys should not worry - people love her.
