The first duet in Bond history, the track also features the legendary Memphis Horns. Both leads take double duties on the ditty  - Keys also plays piano on it, and White also plays drums. So what do you think? Let us know below.

turn it up
I think this will sound great extra loud in cinema sound and with a great opening titles sequence should work well. Good to see the producers going for someone slightly edgy like Jack White. ... Read More deanlaccohee About me

It's going to be good for all the wrong reasons
Having tried to listen to the utter shiteness of the song a couple of times I eventually thought gave up and never heard the whole thing. The music is great but the lyrics & words just plain suck. The strange things is... I see it working in the opening credits to the film. OK it's by no means an epic song but bond themes are not meant to be. Nobody goes to see Bond for the music/credits & what Casino Royale did was give the franchise a shot in the arm. We are all going to see it bec... Read More XVII About me

White needs a producer
Jack White wrote a good Bond song I guess, but it was recorded just like a Jack White song... This guy needed a producer for this, to just edit things, and tone it down a little. Too many ideas, too many breaks, no idea what the real musical theme of the song is. A remix is highly welcomed... ... Read More madmax4 About me

Bond theme
I have to agree with some when I say it sounds awkward. It isn't a strong song, but I can imagine the music working well in the film as a stand-alone theme (much like they did with Chris Cornell's theme).   The song will probably work very well with whatever visuals they use for the opening credits. ... Read More Alistair About me

RE:
It's different. The music is great but the vocals might take a little getting used to, but at the end of the day, it's all about how it plays against the opening credits.   Cornell's (brilliant) tune got a lot of stick, but played very well over the opening titles. ... Read More Workshed About me

It's alright, but who cares
I agree with the comments that the singing isn't great, but the music sounds great and that's what people will hear the most. That aside Chris Cornells' song for Casino Royale got alot of stick, but it did really well in the charts. Quite frankly, I don't put so much stock in how good the theme song is for any movie. Of course some fans will argue that the Bond movies have a great history of theme tunes, but that's because they've had so many chances to get it right. I'm sure they had to mak... Read More keaneye About me
