While movie theme music isn't my primary concern, the variation-on-an-established-theme that goes into the composition of each new 007 makes every new bond song something of an event. When personal fave Jack White (White Stripes, Raconteurs) is called in to write, produce, sing, and play guitar, and Alicia Keys is singing and on the piano, well, then I'm interested. After hearing it twice, I really like it, from the opening, greasy-blues guitar and rapid-fire snare, to the staccato piano and horns. Only complaint: Alicia's got one of my favorite voices in pop music when she's not going Aguilera on us. White's vocals pretty much cover her up when they're both singing. Less White, more Keys. Go here to hear it. † And here is the rest of it.
