Dance into the fire...
I like all of them to a degree.
YKMN: A-
AWTD: B-
SF: A
WOTW: B+
Pretty much my feelings as well, @TripAces.
I'd go:
YKMN: A+
AWTD: C-
SF: A+
WOTW: C-
YKMN and SF are two of my favorite songs of the series, while AWTD and WOTW are two of my least favorites.
Very true. If you listen to a Song like idontwannabeyouanymore, you would think she is in her mid twenties or older. People get hung up on her age and appearance too much imho.
If I recall correctly, Garbage were a critically lauded band in the late 1990s. They were cool and edgy. They won awards and were massive international success (Though I was only 7 at the time, so need someone to clarify). Now their theme is merely a footnote in the Bond legacy and no one really care who Garbage are……..
A lot of the theme song decision-making has to do with marketing. So I suspect that Eon are probably happy with whatever Eilish delivers. Remember, Eon know Madonna's song was trash but they wanted Madonna for the press and that was the trade off.
I can see Eilish's style to the Dragon tattoo titles..........
Which begs the question of why Atticus and Trent aren't doing the theme song. That could be awesome. Billie could still perform.
Except that I guess Billie isn't working with anyone other than her brother.
Just for the record the song has been already recorded.
We'll get Billie Eilish performing the Bond song at this year's Brit awards in February
It’s hard, if not impossible, to predict the careers of artists over the next twenty years.
I profoundly disagree that no one cares nows about Garbage.
Please take this with a pinch of salt
A good friend of mine, who works for a production company, he has just text me about Billie Eilish's upcoming performance at the Brit awards. He's told that on the setlist she is going to be performing halfway through the show and on the production run down list next to her name it's got "NTTD promotion performance"
So she may perform the song on the Brit awards, which is airing on ITV 18 February
There goes my long running refusal to watch the Brits.
Just watch it on catch up and skip through everything else.
Hearing you bro.
I was reflecting about this golden opportunity an hour ago, oddly enough. We already knew it would probably be released around or before March so the timing is near perfect and the amount of buzz it would generate would be far greater than merely releasing the song online.
I too would prefer someone classier, but apparently the folks in charge of these "art" industries beg to differ and I have to accept that. We'll see what Eilish brings to the table, but for the first time since Madonna, I'm not looking forward to hearing the outcome.
I’m definitely open minded to Billie Eilish, but think a woman would suit Craig’s Bond better than a girl.
@Pierce2Daniel comments on things he hasn't a clue about regularly, nothing new there.
FYI, wasn't I the one who said that Billie Eilish was doing the theme based off my research in December? Numerous people then said the same thing about me.....so this is your helpful reminder that I'm usually right.
But it's undeniable that Garbage aren't a big deal now. They had albums in 1995 and 1998 that chartered highly in 1995 and 1998. Their last album came out in 2016 did noticeably poorer.
Also, makes sense that Eilish would perform the song at the Brits since it'll likely need to come out around 4-6 weeks before the film come out. Exciting!
It's certainly going to be interesting to see what Eilish wears to the premiere - especially if the Queen is there. I'm kinda into it. Shake up the established order and introduce some anarchy.
