That's pretty common I think. Tomorrow Never Dies is a bit interesting because it uses the credits song, which was sung by KD Lang, not Sheryl Crow's song.

It's gonna be Goulding.
When did the Radiohead rumors start? That seems like a huuuuuuge stretch.

Hopefully the theme is going to be better than the movie.
Because the movie is going to suck.

Ugh, don't remind me. Awful song. Tied with Die Another Day for worst in the series.
This is nonsense. People will listen to any rank trash if you attach a popular name to it I suppose.

"All Time High" from Octopussy is the worst theme in the series. No question.
Possibly because they have a new album in the works, and the tracks that they have played live are looking pretty dope.

Sure, but there's actual evidence pointing to Goulding.
I'd be shocked if it's not her at this point.
I genuinely don't know who I would prefer more. I love both of them.
What if it's both? I mean we did get a duet with Quantum of Solice.

Tom Jones, Lu Lu, Shirley Bassey or go fuck your mother.
It is 99.999% Ellie Goulding. She has herself publicly hinted it. GAF wishing it to be Radiohead doesn't negate the actual real evidence that we have its Goulding. EON typically doesn't announce completely out of left field choices. Whoever the rumors point to pretty much is always the pick. It is going to be Ellie Goulding.

I hope Florence gets a shot at a Bond theme someday as well, but she probably needs to gain a bit more mainstream popularity before she'll be seriously considered for one.
I'm more than fine with Ellie Goulding. She's great.

Just get adele again.

I would suspect that EON probably tried to bring her back, but she might have turned it down.
Skyfall was the 50th anniversary film, there was lots going on.

It actually makes sense when you consider that Surrender (the end credits song) was actually supposed to be the Bond song for Tomorrow Never Dies, before someone at EON I'm guessing decided at around the last minute that they should get a new song sung by Sheryl Crow instead. It's a pity, since Surrender is a much better Bond song than Tomorrow Never Dies is.

I'd be hyped for Ellie
Given the rumours that Adele is releasing her album this holiday period it wouldn't surprise me if she turned down the gig. Her lead single needs to be something representative of that project, not something tied to a film. Hope they get her back for the next one though

It's not Lana Del Rey
We have had so so so much overwhelming evidence it's Ellie Goulding. There is almost no chance it isn't her.

So Sam Smitth just tweeted a photo of him with a SPECTRE ring... I mean he's actually the one who started the Ellie Goulding rumours. Plot thickens!

You know it. As Thom Yorke once said, the sexiest song ever made.
He's also denied up and down that he's doing the song. I think he's just trolling.
I think his flatout denial + suggesting Goulding should do it pretty much confirms it is her. Gross.
Spectre Eater to the tune of Snake Eater.
Doesn't hurt she has outright hinted about it multiple times. Hell when it was all over the press one day about the rumor she just recorded it she tweeted out "Live and Let Die"
And Sam Smith has been very outspoken about how t should be Ellie Goulding. This is just another of many notches for Goulding.

Ellieg Goulding wouldn't be a good fit, the bond theme needs to be sung by a person with a stronger voice. Bring back Shirley Bassey, she's done multiple songs already and she's still got it.
I guess if they were going for someone contemporary, I wouldn't mind hearing The Weeknd do it. Or even Banks, she's brooding enough for a good Bond theme, but maybe too indie for it.

Ellie Goulding is the expected choice. Radiohead or Florence Welch would be surprising.
Could also be Lana..

Joe Cornish's QoS theme is the best:

Madonna's is the worst.

That's because it's the best one. As much as I like "Skyfall" and even bought it say 1, the lyrics are typical and uninspired. It only won because of Adele.

Her voice though...
What's wrong with it?

At first I thought it was a gimmick for "Lights", but then I kept listening to more of her music, and that's actually her voice.
It seems to be Sam Smith, he posted a picture on twitter of a ring which has the Spectre logo.
Of course it is
Why? He doesn't work at EON, so unless he has Mendes' or one of the producer's ears, how would Smith saying it should be Goulding (which I don't think he actually said? iirc all he said was he heard Goulding was doing it) matter at all? I mean if you want to go that route, both Craig and Mendes are Radiohead fans...

It's gonna be Smith, Goulding was just a ruse. His tweet was scheduled and it makes a lot of sense building on all the rumours earlier this year. I remember Mendes saying last year that the artist had already been chosen. It's been set in stone for ages same as Adele was for Skyfall.
