    Given recent choices Sheeran would look like a logical next step.

    Yes, probaby or Rag'n'bone man.

    Given the current crop of artists available, I don't want anyone signing it. Not that I'm what you'd call a fan but maybe Rihanna could still belt out a good tune?

    Re ABBA , Benny and Bjorn were stunning song writers IMHO and I am sure, given the chance, they could have come up with something really good.

    Paramore

    Or for second song like The Living Daylights and The pretenders.

    I really hope one of the Alex Turner bands, Arctic Monkeys or The Last Shadow Puppets is on some sort of list. Lovely stuff. AM have worked with Danny Boyle already, too.

    This is for the UK members as I am crap on music.

    She has a very Bondian vocal,she is blonde and quite wild in her dress,long blonde (not naturally ) hair ?

    I cant see You Tube on this bloody thing...hang on,let me pop onto WIKI and see .

    EDIT : Yes that's her,thanks,what do you think ?

    EDIT 2 : Just saw this on WIKI : Faith is a mezzo-soprano. Her music often blends soul and elements of gospel; she has been consequently compared to Amy Winehouse and Adele.

    I like her voice, but I don't know much about her even though I've heard of her. She seems a bit mellow in the Adele mold. Not sure if she's ever done a faster paced track.

    After the slop we were dished out last time I would like something a bit up tempo like Duffy. Or something more rock oriented.

    The snippet of the new Arctic Monkeys, although short, sounds great. Has a slightly old school orchestral feel. Would love them to do one before it’s too late, if only to see Alex Turner’s lyrics. It would be a belter and sell a f*** tonne. Win win for EON.

    Does Duffy still make music?

    Allegedly he came pretty close around the time of QoS, there was some chatter about David Arnold liking him etc, also he had a number 1 song in 2007, which helped. I was rooting for him a bit, but in the end it did not happen and instead we got one of the worst songs in the franchise. I think his chances have passed now.

    Paloma Faith would be a predictable choice. not my cup of tea though. and probably not enough US appeal. Ed Shearan has to be a shoe in surely?

    I'm really hoping Boyle takes the music up a gear or two for B25. A lot of his films are as well known for their music soundtracks so I am sure he won't settle for aural anaesthetic of the sort that Newman churns out. really hoping that he insists the composer works with the title song artist this time.

    the only moments the SF and SP scores worked for me were when they made brief reference to the respective title songs

    goldfrapp would have made sense 15 years ago. As Massive Attack or Portishead would have done 20 years back. Portishead in particular were huge Barry fans.
