The ‘Fifty Shades Freed’ soundtrack, like the previous Fifty Shades soundtracks, is star-studded with something for everybody. This particular edition features a number of up-and-coming musicians.

With random, risqué playlists being a thing we do at The Musical Hype, this latest compilation is no different. It’s an ABC list of songs about bad things.

Twenty Five (Remastered) gives George Michael fans a respectable compilation of his greatest hits though it isn’t without omissions.

Usher tackles “Wait for It” on the highly anticipated ‘The Hamilton Mixtape.’ He gives a respectable performance, but doesn’t trump the original.

Sia does a fabulous job covering “Satisfied,” which appears on the Hamilton Mixtape. She is assisted by Miguel and Queen Latifah.

Ghostbusters (2016 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is very much a soundtrack – it has some moments and it also has some flaws.
