I think you'd like this topic @Bounine ;-): http://www.mi6community.com/index.php?p=/discussion/7089/bring-thomas-newman-back-for-bond-24-appreciation-topic/p1
You put it down like it is a fact. It is better to say something like "I think the CR and QoS scores were a lot better than Newman's score for SF."
That's funny; I had an English teacher who discouraged putting "I think" in front of a statement. He contended that the fact that you were stating it showed that it's what you think. I know this can be argued; it just brought back a childhood memory YES, we need some real news! ;)
your teacher had a very good point.
Thank you.
But you know it is indeed his opinion. Putting "I think" in front of everything is redundant.
"I think you know it is indeed his opinion. I think putting "I think" in front of everything is redundant." Can you imagine if everyone talked like that?
Stop trying to start stuff and just ignore it if it upsets you. We're now having this same discussion in three otherwise unrelated treads.
Yes! I would love Daft Punk for Bond 24's title song! Their score for TRON: Legacy is one of my favorite scores of all time—and while I sometimes go for the electronic stuff by Vangelis or Tangerine Dream or whomever—I'm generally more a fan of more traditional orchestral scores. But TRON: Legacy was a perfect combination of the two. If Bond 24 really does go the OHMSS route, wouldn't it be great to have Daft Punk write a cool, synthesized title track to go with it?
My favourite song from Jeremiah, "Caffeine And Saccharin", still not on YouTube:

And some other songs from hom, including the hit single "Heart Of Stone":
And...
Nina Nesbitt is from Scotland, you know that country that is stil part of England :P

Daft Punk with Adele, Alicia Keys (give her another chance), Bono, or some other awesome artist would be genius I think. I know they don't scream "Bond" but with Newman not seeming to want to work on the title song, we'll need someone who knows what they are doing. I think DP showed with their latest stuff how flexible they are. It would definitely be new and popular, if not 100% Bondian.
The producers could always ask for a sample, and go from there.
And what about my previous suggestions in this topic?
--> Alison Goldfrapp?
--> Laura Mvula?
--> Lana Del Rey?
--> Jonathan Jeremiah?
Newman might be the superior craftsman, but as an artist I don´t see any superiority.
I wouldn´t call it trying too hard, but having fun. Arnold succeeds in getting at least somewhere near the loud agressiveness of 60s Bond, while Newman fails to get near the sweeping lush stuff of 80s Bond.
I completely agree @Blofeld0 :-). Have you checked the previous pages in this topic also, mentioning the artists down below?
I think I need to add Michael Bublé. So now my lists of favourites (and should-be-contenders) looks like this. Each of them with my favourite example. I'm really curious which one of the down below songs you would choose:
--> Michael Bublé:
--> Alison Goldfrapp (Her music has been used many times for TV series. Time for more!):
--> Benjamin Biolay (I know, he's from France, but he's influenced heavily by American soul):
--> Laura Mvula (tracks #6, #10 & #12 please :-). Remember, she already sang a title song for the film 'Twelve Year's A Slave'. Link? Ejifor ;-)?):
--> Lana Del Rey (She already did some movie songs, including 'The Great Gatsby' and 'Malevicent'):
--> Jonathan Jeremiah (his voice makes me rather...uhm...I won't say it :-P):
--> Caro Emerald:
Perhaps this song from Goldfrapp is a bit....too eclectic for a Bond film, but it has such a wunderful sultry feel to it:
In al honesty? No :-)
I think the music itself is quite atmospheric. Perhaps not the lyrics or singer.
2 Sisters from Sweden.
The new single, there first hit in The Netherlands.
Kasabian
Lana Del Rey
Lady Gaga
Kerry Ellis too :
I don't care who will perform it, really, as long as he/she has a nice voice. My top choice would be Caroline Henderson, but it won't happen as she's not famous enough. I also like Caro Emerald's I belong to you, so I wouldn't mind her at all.
Finally, I wouldn't mind an instrumental theme either. OHMSS had the best Bond theme ever written, so I can't see why not another instrumental theme. AWTD would have surely benefitted from being instrumental, it would have been a somewhat decent song rather than an awful cacophony.
What might Coldplay bring to the table? See here...
--> Alison Goldfrapp?
--> Laura Mvula?
--> Lana Del Rey?
--> Jonathan Jeremiah?
--> Caro Emerald?
--> Benjamin Biolay
--> Michael Bublé.
Some examples of those artists with songs that could be wonderful additions to the Bond theme tradition:
--> Michael Bublé:
--> Alison Goldfrapp (Her music has been used many times for TV series. Time for more!):
--> Benjamin Biolay (I know, he's from France, but he's influenced heavily by American soul):
--> Laura Mvula (tracks #6, #10 & #12 please :-). Remember, she already sang a title song for the film 'Twelve Year's A Slave'. Link? Ejifor ;-)?):
--> Lana Del Rey (She already did some movie songs, including 'The Great Gatsby' and 'Malevicent'):
