Holy f, give the damn song to Sting Right now!
I love that he says "Forever and a day" in the lyrics, which is the title of Horowitz's latest Bond novel :D
Although, there is no denying there are some fine songs in his back cat. Not familiar with Savoretti though.
Though taking a big well known singer and teaming up with a fresh new talent might be a savvy decision
I like the idea of this far more than flavour of the months getting the job.
That being said I think EON sees giving the song to a big massive artist at the moment as key to promoting their film.
I'm just glad that they went with the late Chris Cornell for CR, not something that I can see happening again, it's undoubtedly the best theme of the era and I'd argue the best since Duran Duran's VTAK
Though Cornell was long past his prime in the popularity stakes, his stock in the 90's as part of Soundgarden would have made him a much recognizable name back then than 2006.
It was a surprise a pleasant one when he was announced and him and Arnold knocked it out the park
Jack White's ATWTD although is most divisive was more of the time than Cornell and very much an artist that made noises within the music community and outside, plus teaming him up with Keyes.
Getting a respected talented songwriter with critical acclaim and putting him together with popular R'nb star Keyes.
It's a wonder to think how it didn't work out so successful, although the short amount of time White got plays into that because that aside Jack White has proved time and time again he can produce great song, AWTD just wasn't one of them.
Adele was a no brainer, she was the biggest female star of the time and the public almost demanded it. This spelled the end of the likes of Cornell or White being assigned again.
Smith was nowhere a big an artist that Adele was but again the public and press demanded it so it happened. My detest of the song aside he was very popular so EON going with him made perfect business sense.
Though the curious idea that Radiohead were commissioned before Smith originally and the song Man of War was rejected due to the band playing the song live since the mid - late 90s
Mendes said that he persuaded Barbara and Michael to allow them to do it, unfortunately EON wanting another title song to be Oscar eligible scuppered it.
So with that taken into account maybe there is a chance for an Arctic Monkeys type to still get the job although I think that time is getting less and less likely.
I hope Sting and this Savoretti get it now but I still think that it will be an Adele, Sam Smith type that will deliver the title song if the previous 2 films of taught us anything.
Though possibly having Savoretti with Sting might allow EON to have their cake and eat it.
With that said, I think Sting could do a fine job. I'm not familiar with Jack Savoretti but based on a handful of his songs that I've listened to, I find him a curious choice for a duet with Sting; while their voices are different, they are similar enough that I don't know why one or the other wouldn't perform it solo.
Don't know if anyone posted this yet but I like this one.
This guy describe perfectly how to make a bond song
This is very professional sounding, yet it feels like a Bond song more fitting the Brosnan era. The pronunciation of the lyrics is also a bit too exacting for my taste. But overall a solid effort, even though it lacks fresh ideas.
It feels like TND song isn't it?
!
Sure looks recent going by Sting's look. Damn I hope this is true.
As he's established and of the old crowd and not likely to appeal to the youngsters?
So maybe that is why Savoretti has been bought in to duet. Sting has written the song but he doesn't have the appeal for today's crowd alone.
From what I understand it Savoretti is quite big and although not brand new he will appeal to a younger crowd.
I presume Jack White bought Keyes on board as she would make the song appeal to a wider crowd than just White's fans. Possibly EON's insistence
This could be a real smart move, you please the old school fans with a real music legend and you snare the masses with a younger pretender.
When I first heard this I was, what hey where did that come from but now I'm actually warming to this, lets make it happen.
If we can't get the Arctic Monkeys and we avoid Sheeran and Dua Lipa scenario then why not, Sting and Jack Savoretti it is.
This could have the real potential to be a great song and also a hit.
