Performer is going to get the gig.
He's doing good. A UK number 1 Album in 2016 and number 2 this year.
More Spotify subscribers than Cornell and White combined.
But nowhere near the numbers of Adele, Smith, Sheeran (shudder).
I think they will aim a bit higher though. Wherever that may be.
Add to the fact that Kiwanuka is not a name that everyone is familiar with, nor will he likely give the filmmakers that global Number 1 single that they're looking for, then it's likely that the name you will see for No Time To Die will be one that "everyone" is familiar with and not just with a niche crowd.
I know, i know i hate his music too, but this guy is the biggest Star in the world right now if you look at his streaming numbers on spotify. Even ahead of the Drakes, Kaneys and Biebers. It's ridiculous.
And what does he do? He's practically begging on his knees to do a Bond Song. Isn't it cute lol?
I mean, if you dont pick him, how do you even explain that to your shareholders? :))
I could live with it if he does the instrumental at least, and even then he would really have to step out of his comfort Zone and suprise us, but i don't want him anywhere near the microphone.
Yeah i would prefer a lot of people to Sheeran, and Adele i could support wholeheartedly. She could become the next Basey by doing so. And it's not like she has a lot on her plate right now.
Apparently she is working on her next album right now. Even better, lot's of free promotion.
And they can put Sheeran in the background, playing guitar or something, just to have his name on it. :))
The Sting rumor is probably nothing, just popped up because there was no other news. And Bublé is never going to get that job, his voice and style are right, but he just doesn't sell that well, because he is too much on the jazzy side of music.
And 25 Bonds just doesn't cry Michael Kiwanuka to me. Something special is most likely up for this anniversary occasion...
I agree about Adele. It would certainly be a way to 'go big' with NTTD, and that's certainly what they should aim at.
Though regarding the Sting rumor, you have Cary - a family friend - as director, and Stings daughter is playing a role in the film (possibly thanks to Cary) , so I would be very surprised if it wasn't at least discussed. They can call him anytime.
But I can't see it happening either.
Was Cornell having top ten pop hits? I admit they may have changed their strategy since then after they went for Smith, but hopefully it might change back again and they'll get someone good.
Yep, I don't disagree with any of that. I think the Broccolis do still go for the correct casting rather than just the biggest, although I guess there is a debate as to whether the song is part of the film or part of the marketing. It kind of has both jobs.

Outsiders : Jorja Smith, Dave Gahan/Depeche Mode
to resume, I'd like anyone except Ed Sheeran, and Coldplay
I see, the idea grows on you. ^:)^
Do they even write songs any more? I don’t think they’d be a great choice.
