Fifty Shades of Grey fans will soon have music to get kinky by!
Or, rather, some lovely classical music to play while paging through the "Mommy Porn."
EMI Classics has announced it will release Fifty Shades of Grey - The Classical Album, a 15-track album featuring classical music personally selected by author E. L. James and referenced in the best-selling Fifty Shades trilogy.
EMI says the music "aims to provide the perfect accompaniment to the Fifty Shades reading experience, setting a mysterious and alluring atmosphere with just the slightest hint of danger..."
Says James in the announcement: "I am thrilled that the classical pieces that inspired me while I wrote the Fifty Shades Trilogy are being brought together in one collection for all lovers of the books to enjoy."
The album will be available in the U.S. and Canada digitally on Aug. 21 and in CD format on Sept. 18h. The album will be released internationally in both formats on Sept. 17.
