laura welsh - soft control
we've been long fans of uk singer/songwriter laura welsh since we heard her chilled out soulful tunes back in 2013 and we can now celebrate the official US release of her debut album featuring ALL the hits (plus a new duet with john legend) that we've grown to love. with the track 'undiscovered' placed in the #1 soundtrack for '50 shades of grey', things are definitely buzzing for our gentle chanteuse!
whatever you think of the upcoming 50 shades of grey film, you can't deny that the soundtrack is pretty darn sexy with a good cross section of solid tracks to fulfill all your BDSM scenarios (heck it's heading to #1 on the billboard charts!)
but if you wanna know where these lovely songs fit in conjunction with the film (which i've just seen) here is your spoiler filled breakdown for those who can't wait until tomorrow to find out!
annie lennox - i put a spell on you
featured in the opening credits introducing both christian grey (jamie dornan) and anastasia steele (dakota johnson) to the world, we also get a good look at grey's impressive tie collection and ana's vw beetle!
laura welsh - undiscovered
laura's wonderful track is sadly placed as background music as ana and her roommate kate babble on about the interview where our heroine first meets her future spanker.
the weeknd - earned it
christian takes ana on a helicopter ride! she's trying to keep her swoon in check (lips are bit), but little does she know it's to sign the non-disclosure agreement for what's to come!
sia - salted wound
after finding out about ana's V card, christian decides to show her a great first time... and it's like, TENDER!
beyonce - crazy in love
after a few times in the sack, ana finally gets to go into the REDRUM and uh oh... we've started getting tied up for sex now!
ellie goulding - love me like you do
no sex! grey takes ana for a car ride and it's a great and gasp, normal date kind of day for all!
vaults - one last night
um... they have sex again...
skylar grey - i know you
the big reveal to how ana feels about all this gets said and bam! it's time for the credits!
well there you have it! it's like watching the movie right? want more? check out the full soundtrack below:

damn she is good!!! covering a stripped down mash up of the charlie wilson and original by ponderosa twins plus one, this is a gorgeous version that is strictly laura's own. awesome!
laura welsh - break the fall
the UK soulstress is currently in the british charts with her successful collaboration with gorgon city, but for her fans, she's got a big in your face tune (that reminds me of ryan tedder's work) that you'll be humming along to all morning. all this is in preparation for her debut album, which i cannot wait to hear!
gorgon city feat laura welsh - here for you
how awesome for gorgon city to bring in the beautiful vocalist laura welsh in on their latest beach friendly summer anthem! they're on the path to be this years disclosure with nary a wrong release so far!
laura welsh - undiscovered
singer songwriter laura welsh is definitely causing some ripples in the one to watch category. we already swooned over her previous single 'cold front' and am equally impressed with her new follow up. specializing in catchy sensual songs, you better be placing this talent under your radar at this point.
laura welsh - cold front
directed and choreographed by daniel 'cloud' campos and tamara levinson-campos (tamara is also the dancer in the video), their simple yet captivating video (the interaction between shadow and body is crazy awesome) only highlights the hauntingly lovely tune by UK singer/songwriter laura welsh. already being touted as a next gen jessie ware, laura is definitely on the right track with beautiful songs like this.
