The wait is over. NBC’s Today Show premiered the hot and steamy trailer of E.L. James‘ 50 Shades of Grey on Thursday. The trailer comes after Beyonce released a short snippet on Instagram featuring a sexier, more moan-y version of her song Crazy In Love. The self-titled album, Beyonce, revealed a more sexual side of the former Destiny’s Child member, causing many to criticize its explicit content.
When asked about her most “sexually liberated album to date” she told Out Magazine, “There is unbelievable power in ownership, and women should own their sexuality. There is a double standard when it comes to sexuality that still persists. Men are free and women are not. That is crazy. The old lessons of submissiveness and fragility made us victims. Women are so much more than that. You can be a businesswoman, a mother, an artist, and a feminist—whatever you want to be—and still be a sexual being. It’s not mutually exclusive.”

The trailer seems to be the appropriate theme for Partition singer as she follows up the OTR tour with current husband, Jay Z. 50 Shades of Grey stars Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele who bring the erotic novel to life with their chemistry and explicit scenes. The films original release date was planned for next month but it will officially premier Valentine’s Day 2015.
