Choosing Music for a BDSN scene in my WIP

Music and WritingI'm writing an important scene in the 4th book of the Broken Souls series, and this song is so fucking perfect for what's happening in John and Vivian's playroom. I was looking for the top songs for the third week of January of 2003, Justin Timberlake's Cry Me a River was on this list. I thought it would be a good idea to add it to this scene, but wanted a darker more decadent version of it for my playlist. I found this cover and loved that it's a beautiful Black artist based in England. It doesn't hurt that she's a she. 🤗

What was truly interesting, was learning that Ella Fitzgerald had a song with the same title; released in 1961. Oddly enough, it's just as perfect for the scene going down in John and Viv's playroom. 
I'm leaving both songs with this quick post.
Leave me a comment and tell me which one you like better and what you think is going on in their playroom that this music would be appropriate.
