The Sound of Fifty Shades

By January 12, 2015Featured, Films, Music

We take a look at the soundtrack for the long awaited and thirstily expected film Fifty Shades of Grey, the listing of which was revealed last week, and it includes the likes of Ellie Goulding and Beyoncé. Not to be confused with the classical album for Fifty Shades of Grey which was released in August 2012. The lead male character, Christian Grey, has a penchant for classical music and this previous album was released for readers to listen to whilst indulging in a little S&M literature, chosen by the author himself, E.L. James.

The hype around these books was something extreme in itself, akin to the popularity of Harry Potter and Twilight (in a different genre of course) but notably touching on the erotica, which for so long has been taboo and not in the mainstream. These stories of ‘Red Rooms’ and sexual explorations have long been out of the norm and now we are all waiting with trepidation as to how Hollywood will turn this into a blockbuster movie.

Fifty Shades of Grey Trailer:

To provide the music for such a movie required a delicate touch; there is quite a variety when it comes to sound, generation, beat and sensitivity but here is the low down to the sound of Fifty Shades – it’s hip, sexy and pretty awesome. It will be released on February 10, just a few days before the film’s February 13 worldwide release.
