Quantum of Solace theme singer revealed
Posted by Craig under Movies and Music with the tags Amy Winehouse • Duffy • James Bond • Quantum of Solace • Take ThatI wasn’t going to mention anything publically just yet, but apparently the newspapers are onto the story so I feel it’s time to come clean.
I’ve been asked to record the theme for the next James Bond film, Quantum of Solace.
Hmm, maybe not but it seems everyone else has been linked to it! First I seem to recall rumours of Take That having a pop at writing it, then it was Leona Lewis or Amy Winehouse and now apparently it’s going to be either Duffy or Jack White.
What a combination!
On past record, I would think one of the female singers more likely - Amy Winehouse has been the one most strongly linked to it, but from that lot she would be my last choice to be honest. And while there’s no doubting she can belt out a tune, I don’t see her reputation sitting well with the owners of the Bond franchise.
More on Miss Winehouse later, in the meantime if they aren’t going to ask me then I’ll vote for Duffy to get the gig.

When talking Bond, I like his connection to F1 - Fleming and Osvald Mosley apparently lived at the same flat (not at the same time
)

Duffy or Jack white? Oh my GOD!! I bet hearing to Garbage’s or Moby’s would be 100000 mIL times better than theirs! ‘You know my name’ by Chris Cornell was awesome, please stop the pop groups and give to some sensible rock group, would be apt for a James Bond flick.

@Arun: I must admit I liked the Casino Royale theme too.
Maybe the producers should try to tempt someone like the Foo Fighters or Green Day?
