Not bad at all. I could see this working very well.
I couldn't agree more.

oh, Capablanca…
I would not rule out this possibility at all. The Weeknd has the vocals and the edginess to do Bond 25. I'd say he is in the running , for sure.
Back when TLD was released, this would have been a much better theme than what aHa produced. The lean-in and hook for this song is perfectly suited for Bond. heck, even this music video has some Bondian TS elements. Enjoy...

Very catchy. And they seemed well-suited for Bond.
@talos7 ... I've said this before and I'll say it again: these guys can still hit a Bond theme out of the park. Just watch them at Coachella sing AVTAK. They get Bond.
And recently this one from Simon has the feel of Bond and shows that Simon’s voice has matured nicely.
It’s highly unlikely, but I would love to see them given opportunity at a title track.
Love it @talos7 ... He (Le Bon), and they (the band), have always had a very cool and edgy sound. They have all the elements for a great Bond theme song again...
Unfortunately, i just don't think they're even on the radar over at EoN... could be wrong, of course, but I think they're chasing after the latest talent.
But these old boys still have the goods (that can, and does, better the "new kids on the block" of today's music industry).
I agree that there's something very Bond affiliated with pretty much all the songs that he sings. He just displays that urban cool that suggests Bond.
Yes... 100%... Up until YKMN, AVTAK was my favourite from the "modern" era. I think it's obvious they could make another timeless classic.
If you listen to Out of My Mind, it has the same DNA as WotW but is performed in a way that is passionate but not pleading.
We're about to break into full bromance here @talos7 -- yes Le Bon has swagger/charisma to spare.
And I agree with WOTW-- wrong POV, and should be from the female perspective. I heard a female artist on You Tube sing it a while back, and it was pleasant and felt "right".
When I hear Sam Smith's version, I'm embarrassed. However, and funnily enough, both my daughters love the guy (my son, not so much), and when they play his other songs, I quite like he and his output.
I've always thought that Depeche Mode (circa Violator), Nine Inch Nails (circa Pretty Hate Machine) and Sade (circa Stronger than Pride) could have done a great job as well. Trent could still do it.
All great choices.
