It was this quality, coupled with his music, that prompted Taylor-Johnson to want more. Constantly playing The Weeknd’s music in her own household, she describes the artist as having a quiet seductive air about him that just draws you in. If she doesn’t want her mom to see the actual movie, she probably shouldn’t tell her about this video either.įifty Shades of Grey director Sam Taylor-Johnson (the wife of Quicksilver, Aaron Taylor-Johnson) also directed this music video, the song for which she calls a perfect match for the film. She does have some tan-colored undergarments on, but they are few and far between. But the cherry on top of this BDSM sundae is a nearly naked Dakota Johnson dangling from the stage ceiling and covered in ropes. The Weeknd’s "Earned It" was released as the soundtrack’s single, and they debuted a pretty racy video of Abel Tesfaye surrounded by a small army of scantily clad women performing a scandalous burlesque routine. You can hate Christian Grey’s possessive ways, but you will not hate the music created because of this love story.The Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack features an array of baby-making hits, like Annie Lennox performing "I Put a Spell On You" and a sexified remix of Beyonce’s "Crazy In Love." But this music video is for neither of those. So, for the Fifty Shades of Grey haters out there (and we’ve all heard about those) i’m here to say that this soundtrack is a great one for fans of really good music, no matter the genre they’re into because there is one for everyone in it.

That just goes to show us one-thing guys love and sex will always be a reoccurring theme in music.Īlthough I’ve already had my Fifty Shades of Grey movie ticket for weeks (yeah, yeah, go ahead and judge me) this soundtrack made me 100 times more excited for the movie and left me with the optimism that even if the movie doesn’t live up to it’s potential, the soundtrack will still rule. Somehow, they were able to combine all these different artists and make one album that all make sense with each other, and the movie. I mean, this soundtrack has Frank Sinatra’s Witchcraft in it (beautiful, romantic, hello I want a Frank Sinatra!), unknown artists who are talented as hell and then A-listers. Okay, one of the coolest things about this soundtrack is the variety of artists that are on it. You can’t go wrong with a song that’s beautiful and also screams “Hey, this is for you Christian Grey.” and i’m sure any fan of the FSOG books/movie or music can agree. “Give your heart, and say come take it, and she will see you’re a good man.” Sia’s voice is also remarkably haunting and beautiful in this, so much so that the song actually hits you in the core. This is like a ballad to Christian Grey who is obviously a very screwed up dude who doesn’t let anyone in. “Salted Wound” from Sia takes me to church, as the kids would way. So, of course this one hit hard for a movie that features a lot of sex. One of the sexier original songs from this soundtrack is The Weeknd’s “Earned it”, which knowing The Weeknd’s music history is not surprising considering he always makes music that someone would put on their sex playlist if they had one. In fact, I liked a lot of covers better than the originals. Song covers seemed to be a reoccurring theme for this soundtrack, which really made it different than others in a very successful way. This was a cover from Bruce Springsteen’s 1984 Born in the U.S.A. Michael Diamond did some amazing things with this.Īnother favorite was AWOLNATION’s “I’m on Fire” which brought the romance aspect to the soundtrack. I also personally loved the remixed version on this album a lot better than the original song. I like this one, although I thought 5 minutes and 30 seconds was long enough that you want to change the song before it ends. In my opinion, this song is better than the original.īeyoncé’s music makes another cameo with Haunted, a song she released back in 2013 that was remixed by Michael Diamond to give it that Fifty Shades vibe. I find it to be so cool that she took an original song of hers, released about 12 years ago, and made it to perfectly fit the movie and music fans who love that sexy kind of genre.

The first trailer for the movie and almost all the others that you see on TV every time your favorite show goes on commercial break plays this song in the background. Yet, that Crazy in Love rendition is my favorite song on the soundtrack. I’ll admit to being that person who just doesn’t get why Beyoncé is such a huge deal to everyone I really don’t and probably never will.
The soundtrack starts off with Annie Lennox’s beautiful and soulful voice doing a cover of the classic “I Put A Spell On You.” It was probably one of my favorite renditions of that song, ever.
