Alicia Keys, Jack White to Duet on New “James Bond” Theme

7/29/08, 3:50 pm EST

A couple months ago, Alicia Keys talked about her desire to collaborate with the White Stripes. She’ll have to settle for the next best thing, as Keys and Jack White are teaming up for the theme song of the next James Bond film Quantum of Solace. “Another Way to Die” was written by White, who will also play drums and produce the track. The song marks the first time in Bond history that the film’s theme will be a duet. When we reported that Keys wanted to collaborate with White, we assumed it was just wishful thinking. We didn’t think it’d come to fruition so quickly, or that they’d make a Bond theme out of it. The soundtrack for Quantum isn’t due out until October 28th. The White/Keys combination beat out rumored candidates Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis and Duffy for the right to try to join Duran Duran, Shirley Bassey and Carly Simon in the Bond theme hall of fame.

They should get unknown Garage rock bands with that spy-fuzz thing going to record for Bond movies… I can’t even imagine what Keys and White would sound like on a theme song although I’m sure it will be great and if it isn’t will be told that is the best bond theme song ever recorded and all the kids will believe the hype… Amy Winehouse would have been a better choice with her style of music, but who am I

I agree that it is a shame that you forgot to mention Paul McCartney and Wings in the hall of fame. Was Carly Simon a Beatle?

its too bad, i heard she was uncomfortable with jack’s recording/production method (vintage/analog). Hopefully, its
great and she realizes she doesn’t need autotune.

I think they should record a whole album together.

i’m sure it will be great, i’ma fan of both keys and white, but i would have loved to see amy winehouse do it. from what i’ve seen in the trailer, it will be a very dark movie, and winehouse would have been perfect. let’s hope she makes it to the next bond movie…

Wow. The first interesting thing to happen in a Bond movie since the 60s.

Or Madge? Die Another Day was a decent song…Regardless this tune should be a very sweet addition.

Really? You didn’t list Paul McCartney in the Bond theme hall of fame? For shame, RS.
