Fascinating, I think a negative portrait can be painted of just about any performer. I find her to be an immensely talented performer who is using the success of her early career as a springboard to reach a broader audience with a greater range of material.
If this is truly the case, then I am BEYOND thrilled. I was expecting them to go for a more traditional route, in which case I would've liked Sia, as I've mentioned before, but interestingly enough, the second time I read the script I was listening to "Do I Wanna Know?" in the background, and I thought the music was very fitting for Craig's Bond and that it would make a very cool theme for Spectre, and now low and behold...
It won't be Bassy. And better it not be, anyways. I'm not a fan of her themes, except Diamonds Are Forever. They need someone will a commercial appeal.
What do you think (and also everyone on the forum) think the Bond theme should be like, using other themes as reference based on what we seen so far?
=D>
But his Apocalypse Now song is excellent.
And I am sure he would come up with lyrics which could rhyme with "Spectre". ;) :-SS

Well if you look back a few pages, you may see that my friends in publishing believe they have already.
Adele is over rated shite her voice warfles the song is non progressive and goes nowhere if they could have found more words that rhymed with Skyfall it might have had 4 more verses.
You like us all have seen 30 seconds on a teaser trailer can't see how it's possible to say I don't think they're suited to Spectre's style. Explain what style is that? We really have no idea yet what Spectre as a movie will be.
You can't do something ballad like with a title like that, it has to have more attitude, Alex Turner has shown many times that he can deliver and this could be the best song of the Craig era if it happens
How SF is genius I find hard to believe, it's a pleasant and adequate theme that suits the titles perfectly but outside of the film it goes nowhere and is somewhat bland, Barry's themes now they are genius, Adele's effort isn't even close.
If they've got the job I'd say we are in safe hands.
Quite.
They were going in the right direction with Cornell’s ‘YKMN’ – a gritty, up-tempo rock song with orchestral elements that suited Dan’s 007 to a T. Then they tried something more avant-garde with QoS which didn’t quite work, but kudos for giving it a go.
Suddenly, after having established the new ‘Craig’ sound, along comes Adele trying to invoke the spirit of the mid 60’s, which just felt…odd.
Yes agree, themes should have that mix of rocking it up a bit but with contempary elements like "You know my name" that theme is a perfect representation. But David Arnold was a bit of a failed Rocker so he could work well with current bands, Thomas Newman although I love him as a composer I can't see him working with a band to add the classic elements to the theme.
Using Abbey Road, and Paul Epworth, only to create a single song, makes you wonder if it's for the Bond theme.
Wouldn't be my first choice (or second or third) for the title track, but an interesting choice if it is true.
Much better choice than Adele, imo. Thanks for the info @webside80
