It hardly matters, Bond in 2020 is a far cry from the Bond of 1964.
I actually think it makes sense to get an artist who can attract a new demographic. Plus, Adele and Sam Smith are both big artists who were very young when they got the job. Thus introducing a new audience to Bond. An audience that will likely stick around for NTTD.
Billie Eilish's style is in the same wheelhouse as Lana Del Rey and Lorde.
Also, found this great fan art on Instagram. Love this
Any of the following I would be happy with..
Caro Emerald
Bat For Lashes
Sophie Ellis Bextor
Beverly Knight
Jamie Cullum
Bryan Ferry
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I see next to 0 chance of Bryan Ferry being choosen, but he has such smooth style, would have been perfect for Bond.
She turned 18 a few days ago.
Come on now, we're better than that here.
That fan art is very Casino Royale look for the image of Craig? Have to say though it works for me. Brilliant piece of art work. :-bd
Yeah, but I think that look of Craig is from QoS.
Thank you!
I do also think that it is too curious to ignore. After all, the film is only three months out from release. The title song usually drops around a month before the movie. That means we only have two months to go....
I think they have gone with Eilish as it's obviously a very 'on trend' choice. Plus, she seems like someone Fukunaga would advocate for.
She fits Eon's mould as she's a young artist who has the promise of becoming a massive international star. She also hasn't done a song for a film before and Eon like to have their singers be exclusive to the franchise.
I think her style is very suited to Bond musically.....this song could be a Bond theme:
In terms of overall style, well she is worryingly far removed from the Bond brand:
Alot of pressure for a person that young I wonder if it would happen she be the youngest.
And while she would not be a romantic interest for Bond, I just think that a performer that young , under 20 invites unnecessary criticism and could prompt a unnecessary controversy.
There are way too many other, possible candidates who would not present the same potential issue.
How I see this:
Female singer: CJF: Billie Eilish or Lana del Rey; EON: Sia or Ellie Goulding
Male singer: CJF: The Weeknd or James Bay; EON: Ed Sheeran or Harry Styles
Group: CJF: Arctic Monkeys or Twenty One Pilots; EON: Coldplay or Imagine Dragons
If I were a betting man, I'd put my money on Sia. But that doesn't mean much. LOL
Sia's 2014 song "Elastic Heart" has the feel and sound of a Bond song:

Indeed. But as the weeks grow closer, the music of NTTD will become a topic here, too.
We are months away from some artist reveal
But rumors will swirl. ;-)
Find PDF for download, people
Guessing you have a paper copy?
Digital. I posted the new stills on my Twitter
Since it's digital, could you possible send me copy via mail? Trying to find the damn thing so I can tweet out a copy
Any new stuff or info in the full article @antovolk?
Another member here already posted it over the weekend here a few pages back ;) only other thing is interviews with Lashana and Rami. For Lashana, aside from the already released quote about the 007 rumours, she talked about her being asked to audition with the Vesper/Bond train scene, followed by a couple of scenes from Spectre (one as Fiennes' M). As for Malek, he's very very guarded, though he did mention Fukunaga wanting Safin to feel like he could come from anywhere and the accent evoking (paraphrasing here) 'a voice that could have been heard centuries ago'... evocative of Safin wanting to prolong his life/slow aging?
Makes me even more excited. They have something up their sleeves and I think this is a villain that will knock our socks off.
Coming from a story-telling perspective, I love hearing Fukunaga say he wants the story to dictate the action, and; he wants the action to feel dangerous. Which means what we've seen so far are action sequences not meant to "beat" any one film. But it organically grew from the story (if reports are correct, this all gets set-off at Vesper's grave where we not only have a chase, but the story continues with Bond's distrust in Madeleine). This is what makes action memorable: when there are real stakes for the character(s)-- and in the AM chase we see the stakes are two-fold: one is for survival, the other is the survival of their relationship... (which looks like it might end at the train station, only to be picked up again, in some form, later in the film)
Thankfully Bond is no (JJ Abrams) Star Wars.
Yeah I was asking about the two interviews. Thanks.
