Without delving too much into my personal life, I actually caught the film Fifty Shades Of Grey for the first time recently, as it aired on one of the movie channels I (over) pay for every month. How do I say this…
That was it!? I’ve seen more sexually explicit (and entertaining) scenes on reruns of Zane’s The Jump Off than that movie. If that was supposed to be a representative of “kinky” for some, I’m just going to assume that those same people don’t season their chicken before they cook it; they just toss it in the oven and “good luck, everybody!”
Regardless, the 2015 film adaptation for E. L. James’ novel was a financial success (to the tune of nearly $600 million dollars at the box office), and its sequel will be released on February 10th. As such, an accompanying soundtrack will also release alongside the movie. Like The Weeknd (whose “Earned It” nabbed him an Oscar nomination) on the original, the likes of John Legend, The-Dream, Corrine Bailey Rae, Nicki Minaj, Tove Lo, and several others will make appearances throughout the soundtrack. However, Miguel‘s take on Beyoncé’s “Crazy In Love” — found in the Fifty Shades Darker trailer — is curiously omitted. The tracklisting can be seen below.
