Bond 22 Title Song/Artists Announced

[Broccoli]

I haven't seen this posted yet.

From CommanderBond.net:

James Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli today announced that Jack White and Alicia Keys have recorded the title track to Quantum of Solace.


The song, titled “Another Way To Die”, marks the first duet in James Bond soundtrack history. The track was written and produced by White, who also performs the drums on the song.


“Another Way To Die” will appear on the official soundtrack to Quantum of Solace, which will be released on J Records on 28 October, 2008.
Both singers had been previously attached to the Quantum of Solace title track; White in June and Keys earlier this month.

Personally, I am don't know either artist (rather, I know of them, but I am not overly familiar with their music) and the title of the song seems kinda generic (I was hoping Bond would have moved away from the "die", "death", "kill" routine that was in place during the Bronson era but, that's a minor quibble). Interesting that they didn't go with the film title again in the song.

I think this is a first for the Bond series to have back-to-back films w/o the title theme being the title of the film (although, Quantum of Solace could be hard to work as a song...I dunno).

It's also the first duet for a Bond theme, which is a neat change of pace.
