Beyonce posted a teaser for the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey trailer that will be released on July 24. The teaser contains a remix of Jay Z’s wife’s hit song “Crazy In Love.” It seems safe to deduct that the “Pretty Hurts” singer will be featured on the soundtrack of the erotic movie.
Beyonce did not say much about her involvement in the project, the talented diva simply captioned her post “#fiftyshades” when she posted the teaser on Instagram. The marketing team working on Fifty Shades of Grey was apparently inspired by the way Blue Ivy’s mother released her fifth studio album Beyoncé back in December.
The teaser trailer dropped out of nowhere on a Saturday night while Bey released her LP unannounced on a Thursday evening. The element of surprise always works in the favor of the product being pushed.
Fans of the lady from Texas were surprised to find out about her involvement in one of the most anticipated movies in recent memory. Their opinion diverge from positive to very negative. On the plus side, some find that the teaser looks very enticing and they are hoping that the movie will build on it. The snippet of the new version of “Crazy In Love” also has some supporters. Some people find Beyonce’s delivery sounds very sexy and fits perfectly with the mood from her last album.
On the other side of the spectrum, few Beyonce fans were dismayed that their favorite artist would participate in a venture that they find is beneath her legendary status. They believe that the movie will turn out to be a softcore porn with very little to show for in terms of artistry.
Keep in mind that those critics have not seen the film yet and that Fifty Shades of Grey has a budget of $40 million which means it has potential to be more than an erotic drama.
