Beyoncé (but not really her) is ready to slay all your faves again bringing back her smash hit single “Crazy In Love“, included on her debut solo album “Dangerously In Love” (2003), with a much darker version. A first snippet of this new version was exclusively premiered on “Fifty Shades of Grey” trailer.
This slowed-down version was produced by Boots with violin arrangements by Margot; they had both worked on Beyoncé’s fifth album. It was preformed by L’Orchestra Cinematique and it was released on iTunes on July 30th. Margot said:
It inspires me to work on other artists’ songs because it pushes my boundaries in a direction that I wouldn’t necessarily come up with. Obviously I know how ‘Crazy in Love’ goes, but I knew there was the possibility her vocals would be different. It’s almost more vulnerable and beautiful this way, because you do do crazy things when you fall in love. To hear the mood reversed and flipped makes it even more powerful
Keep calm, the version with Beyoncé’s voice is for the official soundtrack and will not be officially released until then. For now, we can enjoy this version!
