Apart from Danny Elfman's cheekily titled \"Did That Hurt?\" -- a selection from the score that closes the album -- there isn't any musical indication that Fifty Shades of Grey plays with taboos. Although Beyonce taps into a bit of dark, creepy sexuality via remixes of \"Haunted\" and \"Crazy in Love,\" a vibe the Weeknd trumps with his originals \"Earned It\" and \"Where You Belong,\" most of this is textbook big-screen sex -- all slow, slinky beats and glistening surfaces, the sound that scored nearly every seduction movie that followed in the wake of Adrian Lyne's 9 ½ Weeks. A couple of the selections are indeed very familiar from this kind of movie -- Rolling Stones' \"Beast of Burden\" is hauled out yet again, Sinatra is here with \"Witchcraft,\" Annie Lennox gets the plum role of singing \"I Put a Spell on You\" -- but otherwise the soundtrack follows familiar beats. First, the numbers are a little flirtier -- Laura Welsh's \"Undiscovered\" is insistent and almost bright, Jesse Ware's \"Meet Me in the Middle\" is a nice bit of slow-burning retro-soul -- but once this album gives way to Ellie Goulding's \"Love Me Like You Do\" on track five, it moves into the area of background romantic music, a vibe that's sometimes pierced by those overly familiar oldies that surely play a bigger role onscreen than they do on album. So, the soundtrack to Fifty Shades of Grey winds up as something conventional: high-thread count seduction with nary a hint of menace, suitable for any romantic evening you choose. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45306620379423,"sku":"602547174390","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/af244380ac7cbe164ecc693e9b45c7ca.jpg?v=1782652153","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/fifty-shades-of-grey-original-motion-picture-soundtrack","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
