'Fifty Shades Of Grey' Soundtrack (I)
As someone puts it, the
music lover in me is thrilled to report that Christian Grey has a great
taste in music. This is hard to imagine in a novel that may be only
marginally better written than Snooki’s book, but the protagonist of the trilogy actually listens to
“Spem In Alium,” by Thomas Tallis.Although many readers do not like the trilogy, it’s #1 on the Amazon and
Barnes & Noble bestseller lists. It’s been debated on the “Today”
Show. The New York Times article about it appeared on the front page.
Vintage has just acquired the author’s three books. And on the message boards its fans are already casting the
inevitable movie: (Early favorites: Natalie Portman and Wentworth
Miller. So, before you could say "safe word," the movie rights were also snatched up by Universal Pictures and Focus Features. As Jesse Kornbluth summarizedThe Fifty Shades of Grey book trilogy , the E L James novel, isabout a virginal
21-year-old college senior and the 27-year-old billionaire who tells her
what to eat, what to wear, what kind of contraception to use and, of
course, what kind of rough sex comes next. Fifty Shades of Grey sends 16th Century choral work to number 1 in singles chart. Ms. E. L. James said she included much of the music because it was what she
played when she needed to drown out the noise made by her two sons as
she wrote in her living room in West London.
As the books gained popularity, fans turned to the frequent mentions
of music. From Britney Spears' "Toxic" (which James writes would play as Christian
and Anastasia "drive to chase the dawn") to Bruce Springsteen's "I'm On
Fire" (which Anastasia blasts on her drive back to Washington State
University) and Kings of Leon's "Sex of Fire" (do we really need to
explain this one?) James' soundtrack is every bit as gratifying as
Christian Grey himself.
