Uh oh. Fifty Shades of Grey is one of the steamiest popular books of all the all time, and it seems like the upcoming film adaptation is going to get a soundtrack from one of music's hottest stars. This morning (July 24), TODAY premiered the much-anticipated full first trailer for the Fifty Shades of Grey movie, and as expected, it features a sizzling new take on the Beyoncé smash "Crazy In Love."
Beginning with a haunting, slowed down "Crazy In Love" piano melody, the song floats quietly beneath the majority of the movie trailer, with crashing cymbals, descending and emotive string chords and heavy breathing making up most of the other instruments.
At the 1:10 mark (and the first time in the trailer when Christian Grey and Ana Steele kiss in an elevator), Beyoncé's own steamy vocals come in. With a much jazzier, smoother and slightly smokier slant, "Crazy In Love" is almost unrecognizable from the same song that was released 10 years ago, where it not for the signature lyric featured.
Oh, and at the end just to add for some extra sex appeal, the "Oh ohs" are barely whispered, playing into the film's BDSM, orgasmic themes.
Watch the first trailer for 50 Shades of Grey below, featuring Beyoncé:
Beyoncé's inclusion in the project comes as no real surprise to followers of Queen Bey or the 50 Shades movie. On July 19, she teased the trailer and her new take on "Crazy In Love" in an Instagram post.
The movie for 50 Shades of Grey will be released alongside Ana's inner goddess on Valentine's Day 2015.
