“Love Me Like You Do” by British songstress Ellie Goulding was the first song from the “Fifty Shades Of Grey” soundtrack to hit the charts. The 2nd release is out now, and it’s also a major hit: “Earned It,’ by Canadian singer The Weeknd.
Dave links “Earned It” to the 1966 James Brown classic “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World,” noting that while the two songs are different thematically, he hears those “instrumental stabs, that still work, nearly 50 years later.”
MAINLY, you have to see the video for “Earned It,” it’s soft core porn, erotic, and elegant and tasteful, with beautiful women and crystal chandeliers—it’s just gorgeous. The song is cool, too.
