Great song! Did you notice the Skyfall font used in the video...
A reunited Oasis for the title track would be epic.
And what a shame that is. Either of them would be great.
Not for me personally I don't like them although even if I did that time has passed, like many bands/artists that have been touted, a lot of what many of us listen to may well sound suited but EON is all about what is hot at the moment.
It does though come as surprise that Mendes convinced BB & MGW to hand SPECTRE to Radiohead initially before their submission was rejected and passed to Sam Smith.
Though Radiohead causes a stir in the music community the Gallagher's now could only dream of.
EON certainly looks to go for the "current" artists these days. They have in the past too of course (Duran Duran/A-ha etc.), with notable exceptions. Can't help but feeling a little indifferent or disappointed about some of the rumoured artists. Few of them really gets me excited unfortunately.
I'd be happy with Arctic Monkeys though.
AM would be a dream, Alex Turner would ace a Bond theme.
Certainly! He has the swagger to carry a Bond theme.
And Matt Munro, Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Nancy Sinatra, Paul McCartney etc. The only times they haven't really gone for a 'current' artist have been the exceptions, really. Gladys Knight, Tina Turner, Louis Armstrong... those kind of guys were a bit more 'legend' status than the usual.
Radiohead are utterly brilliant. That's not a controversial opinion! :)
I hadn't until you mentioned it. No wonder that song in particular felt extra Bond-ish. It must be my subconscious!
Lana would be a great choice; it just struck me that as much as I loathe WOTW , mainly because of Smith’s vocals, she could have done something special with it.
It be nice if the new actor get Robbie Williams, very fames in the 90's like Tina Turner from the 70's did 90's Bond movie. Or Imagine Dragons have done Spectre (or NTTD). OneRepublic
Talking about Australia before: Sheppard.
Whyle i sugest Dutch group (Kensington, the Dutch Coldplay) and joking a bit with Duncan Laurence (what a night mare it have been if Anouk did QOS), the already earlier discussion about Caro Emerald (who is fames in the Uk), imagine those Dutch artists making one:
Krezip (Twine, QOS)
Dotan (QOS or Skyfall)
Sabrina Starke (NTTD) Des'ree / Nina Simone of style.
(2018)
Alain Clark
Tom Holkenborg. Alternate take like Moby did for Tomorrow Never Dies.
Or some writers from Doe Maar (Dutch A-HA or Duran Duran) wrote a Bond song.
Additionally: her and Zimmer have worked together on last year's The Lion King remake, so if she gets it, it may bring back the closer collab between title song artist and composer.
Well, she can certainly sing.
This would be a very positive sign for me.
I'm not really a fan and I would have preferred it wasn't a ballad again but she can certainly sing and if it is a collaboration with Zimmer then more power to it.
When we consider that Sheeran or Dua Lipa were rumoured, I'll take Jay Z's other half over those 2 in a heartbeat.
Also, this is the post people are speculating on:
https://www.buzzfeed.com/terrycarter/beyonce-singing-bond-theme-martini-photo-clue
This is really just the Buzzfeed mob running amok. It's quite the stretch.....if you wanted real fuel on the fire, then remember Cary Fukunaga recently started following Billie Eilish and her songwriting brother. That seems more genuine a rumour than 'Beyonce had a martini at the Golden Globes.'
Beyonce would be PERFECT. She'd be a little obvious - but her singing a Bond theme seems like a dream. She'd want the gig so she can get her EGOT (the Lion King isn't going to win her an Oscar). Plus, there is the appeal for Eon to get probably the biggest star in the world in their movie and attending their premieres in April.
The marketing team would salivate at the prospect of getting Beyonce. Plus, she could be a Bond girl in her own right...
Though this rumour is nothing more than wishful thinking...
+1.
Yep, I can get behind her. She’s not to my taste but she’s pretty right for the job. Massive star, incredible singer, icon to many, hugely respected.
