    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.

    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.
