New 007 bond theme announced

Its official the new james bond theme has been announced, the song called “another way to die” was written & produced by jack white of the White Stripes. Not only did he write the track but he also performs on the song alongside Alicia keys - its also rumoured the track will feature on the a commercial for the drink sprite zero. In the past the music played an integral part in every bond movie - the last movie casino royale had chris cornells “you know my name” & it was a hit, before that such artists as Madonna, sheryl crow, tina turner, duran duran, garbage & many more all provided solid sounding songs for the bond movies however this latest track by alice keys & chris cornell just doesn’t cut it. At the very start of the song the music sounds like something from the remake of the hills have eyes & as it nears the middle of the track it just gets worse, its such a shame that the music is so bad because like all bond movies the music plays such an important part of the overall movie. It has also been confirmed that David Arnold will also return to compose the actual score of the movie, Arnold has also scored the previous “tomorrow never dies“ “the world is not enough” “die another day” & “casino royale” & if his past movies are anything to go by then the score will makeup for the awful sounding keys & the terrible song writing of jack white.
