"Fifty Shades of Grey" fans now have some music to listen to while reading their erotic series.
EMI Classics has announced it will release "Fifty Shades of Grey - The Classical Album," a 15-track album featuring classical music personally selected by bestselling 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 steamy "Fifty Shades" trilogy tells the story of 22-year-old recent college grad Anastasia Steele, who enters into a dominant/submissive sexual relationship with 27-year old sexy billionaire Christian Grey and both explore the world of BDSM (bondage, dominance, submission, masochism).
The album will be available in the U.S. and Canada digitally on Aug. 21 and in CD format on Sept. 18. The album will be released internationally in both formats on Sept. 17.
