Love It or Leave It: Alicia Keys & Jack White's Bond Song

September 18, 2008

The idea of a Jack White (of White Stripes) and Alicia Keys collaboration for the next James Bond theme song sounded like it could be awesome, or maybe disastrous. Now we can take a listen to "Another Way to Die" and find out what we're in for when Quantum of Solace comes at us Nov. 14.

I've listened to the song a few times now, and I think I like it. But as a Bond theme song? I'm not sure. . . Take "Another Way to Die" for a spin and tell me what you think.

I don't like it, but it might grow on me. I was much more excited for a Amy Winehouse/Mark Ronson collaboration. I wish she had gotten her act together to do the Bond theme.

Sa-weet! Makes me excited for the movie. I do agree, however, that either Jack by his lonesome, or Winehouse would have made it that much better. Lastly, Jack is the sh*t.

I think it's very Bond. And Jack White is awesome. I am not an Alicia Keys fan. I don't hate her, I just don't think she really brings anything that I care about to the table, so thank goodness this song is all Jack with a little Alecia thrown in.

i actually like this song - i heard the track during the VMAs and thought that rihanna and the stripes made for a nice combination. they have VERY different sounds - and that's a nice change of pace i think.

Jack White is always brilliant. Love him. I wish Amy Winehouse could have pulled her act together to have lended her vocals into the mix. But Alicia did a better job than I expected...amidst all of her stupid quotes to the press, I forget that she's a good singer.

Very nouveau-Bond, but it might have been more interesting with just Jack White - no Alicia Keys. The Winehouse would have been great though. :(

Jack White can do no wrong in my eyes. The man is a genius.
