Bond Snubs British Favourites
Bond producers have sensationally snubbed British acts in favour of American duo Alicia Keys and Jack White to record the theme for the forthcoming James Bond film, Quantum of the Solace. ![]()
Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Leona Lewis and Duffy had previously been in the frame to record the signature tune but have been passed over by the film's producers.
Jack White and Alicia Keys will record Another Day to Die, the first duet in the history of James Bond theme tunes.
Jack White is best known as the frontman of rock bands The White Stripes and The Raconteurs whilst Keys has received international acclaim for her sultry brand of R&B. Some commentators however have expressed misgivings at the pairing suggesting that British artists would be more appropriate to record the theme given the content of the film.
Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli who produced the film said: "We are delighted and pleased to have two such exciting artists as Jack and Alicia."
What do you think about the choice for this year's Bond theme? Are the producers right to opt for US acts or should they stick with the best of British?

They should had gone with duffy. Very big flop on the music choice.
Or at least it would a textbook case had it been accurate. Mark Ronson & Amy Winhouse abandoned writing and recording sessions for the theme sometime ago and so the producers had to find somebody else to do the job.
A snub it is not.
Amy, Duffy and Leona were among the faves because they're in the top five of best-selling artists IN THE WORLD this year.
Nancy sinatra did one bond theme but you will agree nancy was at the time a big star in her own right and had a number one in this country
