Alicia Keys and Jack Black are to do the theme. A dull choice I think. blog.wired.com/underwire/2008/07/alicia-keys-jac.htmlAlicia Keys, Jack White Licensed to Sing for 007 Great Britain's long national nightmare is over as MI6's greatest spy finally has a theme song for his next film, Quantum of Solace. Before Daniel Craig (right) sets out after his next set of super-villains, Alicia Keys and Jack White will team up on his movie's theme song, “Another Way to Die.” (What? You didn't think it would be called Quantum of Solace, did you?) It'll be the first-ever duet to kick off a 007 movie with Keys joining White on vocals while the White Stripes member writes, produces and plays the drums. The announcement ends a ridiculously complicated search for the successor to Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name." The "see also" links below document the wandering quest the ended at Keys and White's doorstep, but the last rounds took us from Annie Lennox to Duran Duran to Duffy. |

I hope these guys don't get a nomination for best song from MTV awards, Golden Globes, and of course the Oscars.

Not the most obviously Bondian choice they could have made. What happened to Duffy? Oh well...

I guess the QOS theme song would get the Americans the attention, just as I feared.

You gotta love the irony of it being titled, "Another Way To Die".
It's exactly the type of generic title that so many fans criticized during the Brosnan era. It's also a lot like the mock titles people were throwing out back when "Die Another Day" was announced.
It basically sounds like a Bond parody: "James Bond is back in, uh...well, Another Way To Die!!!"

The title reminds me of Die Another Day 100%.

You can see why Eon are desperately ransacking the books for film titles now. Another Way To Die?  Ho and indeed hum. I think Miss Keys is an attempt to give the film a bigger profile in the US. No idea what the song will be like. It might be alright. |

There are stories about Keys not liking the song already. Might be nonsense or tabloid mischief.
