    Aside from throwback cuts from Sinatra and the Stones, it's all woozy, vampirically nocturnal reports from the leading edge of pop and R&B. [13 Feb 2015, p.65]

    Of the book, the flick, and the soundtrack, only the music really hits hard enough to leave a lasting mark.

    Sexing up the affair are new songs by artists like Sia and Ellie Goulding, a couple of hot Beyoncé remixes and the occasional classic (Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra).

    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.

    The album, which features Beyonce, Ellie Goulding and Sia, stresses soft-edged production and slow build rhythms, bunched into some fairly catchy pop songs.

    Crazy In Love aside, this generically pleasant and wafty album makes a better accompaniment to laundering sheets than rolling in (or being tied up with) them.

    At 16 tracks, though, Fifty Shades of Grey is a bit of a slog, with too many dreary midtempo numbers--by Sia, Laura Welsh and Skylar Grey--that only feel more glazed (and less enticing) the longer you listen.

The Stones and Sinatra contrast beautifully with the rest, giving the album a lighter, more romantic tone. Loved it!!… Expand

    This soundtrack sounds so good and deep as if ... You cannot stop listening!

    Annie introduces all with the wonderful "I Put a Spell on    This soundtrack sounds so good and deep as if ... You cannot stop listening!

    Annie introduces all with the wonderful "I Put a Spell on You", giving a perfect harmony of a loving and gloomy case. It is followed by relaxed "Undiscovered" from the newcomer Laura Welsh.

    The Weeknd has two tracks, "Earned It" and "Where You Belong", next to sex and love at the same time, while Ellie Goulding, Sia and Skylar Grey give casual and momentary passion show with a great sentimental appetite in "Love Me Like You Do "," Salted Wound "and" I Know You ".

    We cannot forget that Beyonce, Jessie Ware and Frank Sinatra gave a more classic and seductive air to soundtrack.

    For me, it's a great soundtrack for a dramatic erotic movie, especially the lyricism of the tracks and the tense atmosphere that the songs bring to us.    … Expand

In the album artists such as "The Weekend" , Ellie Goulding, Sia and Beyonce, Skylar Grey, Jessie Ware and Frank Sinatra; all of these talented-prepossessing artists singing their beautiful hearts out for the soundtrack and this sexy film. The lyrics are beautiful/charming and it's really really really really catching!… Expand
