Perdogg 1 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 There are rumors on the net that Adele will sing the next James Bond theme song. I would have no problems with this, if that:1. The song is a full orchestral song, not a crossover top-40 or pop song. One of the best Bond Theme songs was the theme to "The World is Not Enough" except Dave Arnold put too many tracks on the song. I guess Garbage did not want to lose their MTV cred with a theme .2. The song incorporates themes from the soundtrack.3. The song is written by an established writter such as Don Black.

Docteur Qui 1,571 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I think Adele should write it, as she will be the one singing it. And full orchestra? Ehhh, maybe. Doesn't really have to be does it?Don Black's not that great with lyrics btw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Newman should write it with Adele. She has a proper good voice so I think she'd work well, back to the days of Bassey and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perdogg 1 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Too many tracks on the song?I apologize for the terminology. What I meant was, that there were too many music tracks on the song. Too much synthesizer music along with the normal music tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,953 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 There is nothing wrong with a Pop Bond Song, some of the best Bond songs were pop and they have infinite listenability.Now several are pop standards, they are that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman writes superb music; I'm just not sure if he can deliver a great Bond score. Heaven forbid another "FYEO" fiasco!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,647 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 So, is it common practice now for major movie campaigns to not let a single word slip about the movie's music or title song performer just few weeks before release?This smells all very fishy.

Koray Savas 2,254 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 How is it odd? He's done the most Bond films aside from Barry, hasn't he? Give someone else a chance.Newman scoring Bond is huge. It's a sign that Broccoli and EON are at the very least letting go of some minimal amount of creative control. Their rule that only British people can make these films is stupid. Letting the director choose his composer, especially when it comes to Mendes and Newman, is only a good thing.

Jay 38,660 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 gkgyver and Kendall were talking about the title song performer, not the score.Specially, about how on Tomorrow Never Dies Sheryl Crow replaced KD Lang the last minute as the title song performer.
