Bleachers have unveiled their version of ‘Almost Like Being in Love’, a song from the soundtrack of the new Apple TV+ show The New Look. The 10-track album was produced and curated by Jack Antonoff, the man behind Bleachers, and features contemporary artists covering early to mid-20th-century numbers. The show features the story of haute couture giants such as Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Pierre Balmain and Cristóbal Balenciaga as they navigated the struggles of World War II and created modern fashion. Ben Mendelsohn and Juliette Binoche star in the new show, as well as John Malkovich, Maisie Williams, Glenn Close and Claes Bang.
‘Almost Like Being in Love’ was originally written by famed songwriting duo Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe for the musical Brigadoon and has been recorded by legendary artists such as Nat ‘King’ Cole, Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald. Bleachers’ latest album was released last month, while The New Look season finale airs tonight, 3 April 2022. The show was created by Todd A. Kessler and features 10 episodes.
Last month Florence + The Machine released their version of ‘White Cliffs Of Dover’ from the soundtrack. In February, The 1975 also shared their contribution to the soundtrack. Antonoff produced the newest album from The 1975, ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language’, and also recorded covers by Beabadoobee, Lana Del Rey, Nick Cave, Perfume Genius and many more for the soundtrack. The album is the first release from Antonoff’s new label Shadow Of The City, an imprint of Dirty Hit.
Finally, Bleachers has also announced a series of UK and European shows for autumn 2022, and their self-titled fourth studio album has garnered critical acclaim. NME gave the album a four-star review and noted that it is “… the collective’s most quintessentially “them” release yet. It evolves into new territory, of course, but is equally deeply connected to past releases – a by-product of spending a decade honing their dynamic and sound.”
