    After listening to the lead single "Love Me Like You Do" you stay with the high expectations of what the album will be, however it falls short of what it promises.

    If there's one thing composer Danny Elfman does right in the film "Fifty Shades of Grey" is tell the story with emotions with entertaining music. 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 music is PERFECT! The slower song are amazingly sexy. It's definitely the best soundtrack ever. Loved Sia, The Weeknd (OMG!) and Beyonce. "Love Me Like You Do" Is also amazing. The Stones and Sinatra contrast beautifully with the rest, giving the album a lighter, more romantic tone. Loved it!!

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

    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

    Possibly one of the best soundtrack albums I've ever heard. Love Me Like You Do, I Know You, Crazy In Love are among the best songs of the album.
    It still has some songs that feel like fillers but the album is very good overall.

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

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