After reading all three books of Fifty Shades of Grey before the movies had come out, I had envisioned the soundtracks going a little differently. The first soundtrack hardly sounded like something that would be played within the movie, this second one, sadly, fell into that same category.
Despite this, there were still a handful of songs worthy of listening to from the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack. Here they are!
1. Pray - JRY (Feat. Rooty)
This is a smooth, sexy song that you can totally picture Christian walking into a room to or you know... a sexy scene going down in. Either way, this song not only is a song that I could listen to and picture scenes from the book, too, but it also it's just an awesome song.
2. Helium - Sia
This is just a slow, sweet song that makes you warm inside and makes you think of your significant other. Not only this but it totally sounds like something you could hear Anastasia saying.
3. They Can't Take That Away From Me - Jose James
This song just makes me want to dance. It is a sweet, jazzy song that just makes you want to put a nice dress and heels on and go out with your love.
4. I Need A Good One - The Avener (Feat - Mark Asari)
If "They Can't Take That Away From Me" isn't my favorite off this soundtrack, this is it. This song doesn't 100% fit into the storyline in my opinion, however, it is still a rocking song. I picture hot days, beach, windows down, and late night dancing with your SO when I hear this song. It's just so warm and lovely.
5. What Would It Take - Anderson East
Ooo. Yet another jazzy song. This is just beautiful and again, makes you want to get out on the dance floor and slow dance with your SO.
6. I Don't Wanna Live Forever - ZAYN & Taylor Swift
This is the first song we were given while waiting with anticipation for the movie. This song makes me think of Christian wanting Ana back after she left him in the first book. It's sexy and catchy as heck.
7. Lies In the Dark - Tove Lo
You could picture this song being played as Christian and Ana approach the "red room of pain." This is one of those songs that you could get up close and personal with you SO if it came on at a club.
8. Empty Pack of Cigarettes - Joseph Angel
This is a slow, soulful rock song. It makes you want to put on a record in a dimly lit room and dance around. I can picture this being a sort of dialogue from Christian to Ana.
