The Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack is hot as HEAAAYYYLL, and as its accompanying videos roll out, there is something we’ve noticed: this music is getting all your fave musicians in the MOOD. To do something NAUGHTY. To their OWN MUSIC. Terius “The-Dream” Nash’s “Kelly’s ’12 Play‘” this ain’t.
Yesterday, we were blessed with The Weeknd’s “Earned It,” a clip which featured a fake-naked Dakota Johnson and bondage girls, thus fulfilling essentially the entire career and life-philosophy of The Weeknd, there’s nothing left for him to achieve. Because Ellie Goulding seems like a more romantic type than Abel Tesfaye, her video for “Love Me Like You Do” is more about longing than lust, wherein she touches her own hair in front of a chandelier while seeming to look for someone, and culminates with Ellie Goulding doing lyrical ballet with some built Benjamin Millipied-type—which is, of course, a metaphor for the elaborate and sensual dance we do when we’re having The Sex. Plus, bonus, it’s all interspliced with actual clips from the movie, so works as another teaser in case you are biting all your nails waiting for the film to open (on Valentine’s Day, duh!).
