Alicia Keys, Jack White Team Up On 'Bond Theme'




July 29, 2008
Link


The next James Bond film has its theme song.

Jack White of The White Stripes and Alicia Keys have tag-teamed to record "Another Way to Die" for the November release "Quantum of Solace," the second Bond flick to feature Daniel Craig in the lead role.

It had been speculated for a few weeks that Keys would be tapped to the perform the song, and now she has a drummer.




White will provide the rhythm for the cut and serve as its writer-producer, confirmed in a release today from Columbia Pictures. "Another Way to Die" is hyped as the first duet for a Bond film.

White and Keys are the latest Americans to tackle a main Bond song, following Chris Cornell, who did "You Know My Name" for "Casino Royale" in 2006. And like the latter, "Another Way to Die" will be one of the rare Bond theme songs to not actually feature the name of the movie in the title.

The announcement brings to end months of speculation as to who would sing the latest Bond theme.

Rumors earlier this year had Amy Winehouse doing the honors, but her producer-collaborator Mark Ronson declared her "not ready." Newcomer Leona Lewis had also been rumored to be in the running.

The soundtrack to "Quantum of Solace" will be released by J Records, Keys' record label, on Oct. 28.

Jack White was first mentioned by the media on June 17th:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/6mus...heme.shtml

Alicia Keys was first mentioned on July 10th:

http://www.eonline.com/ub..._bond.html

So the BBC and E!Online had the right sources for their stories.

What do we learn? Don't trust the SUN and their Amy Winehouse-rumours.

yeah, I agree! Leona is zzz

but hopefully with Jack working with Alicia, she will step out of the box and they come up with a really great song.
She's let me down with this last album, but Jack is awesome! cool
If you will, so will I

I don't think this will work.

Jack White writes great 20 second ideas, very rarely does he write a classic song. I also am not fond of his Raconteurs stuff, which to me sounds very recycled vs at least the White Stripes sound like the White Stripes.

Alicia what can I say ... I did have high hopes for her, but I find her annoying and way overrated. and the singing in key thing for me is huge.

Maybe I will be surprised..
Music is the best...

Love Jack White. In the last ten years, he's done no wrong musically. Not sure how he'll work with Alicia. It's interesting that she had already remade "Karma" into a James Bond theme for her last tour.

Bleh.

I still think Goldfrapp should get to do a Bond Theme.


Something similar to "Time Out From The World" would do just fine.

Or maybe the Presets?

Something like "Aeons", "Black Background", or "If I Know You" could be a cool direction for a Bond Theme.

For real nod when I heard Alicia Keys it was like "damn ya'll couldn't find somebody better"? But then when Jack White came up, hmmm It was funny because when I first read this title I kept thinking about Jack Black instead of Jack White wondering whose fucked up idea was it to put those two together, but this will be interesting.
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.
