oh god no

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

should have been radiohead hahaha

agreed

 

[beyond_death]

I blame those rumours of Radiohead doing it for making me disappointed. Otherwise I probably wouldnt have cared.

 

[smarties00]

I don't like Sam Smith, but that's not the main issue I have -
NAME THE SONG AFTER THE MOVIE DAMMIT!

Shit be the worst trend in modern Bond films.

Yeah it's Odd that Skyfall is the only song in the Craig era to share the same title as the film.

Quantum of Solace obviously gets a pass..

 

[unpopularblargh]

Serena Ryder may not be as big of a name but her song "For You" sounds very bondish, wouldnt have minded with a different song

I would have been okay with her too. She has a great classical voice.

 

[Shuggananas]

Yeah it's Odd that Skyfall is the only song in the Craig era to share the same title as the film.

Quantum of Solace obviously gets a pass..

you know james we really are the 007 quantum of solace

 

[Cindres]

Not a fan of Sam Smith, not holding my breath for this one :/

 

[Majmun]

Whhyyyaiaiai noooooOoOooooOOOOot Christinaaaaaiaia AaaaaaaAAAAAguileraaaaaaaAA oooooOooooooooOOOOoO!!!

 

[Octavianus]

why

 

[Pachimari]

I'm indifferent. I didn't know Sam Smith until today.
So we'll get the song and lyrics at midnight?

 

[show me your skeleton]

will smith? awesome.

 

[SgtCobra]

Yeah no

Michael Bublé keeps getting ignored.

Ugh don't remind me, this would've been so much better.

 

[Femmeworth]

Well, huh.

 

[Chichikov]

Yeah it's Odd that Skyfall is the only song in the Craig era to share the same title as the film.

Quantum of Solace obviously gets a pass..

If Shirley Bassey can work with Moonraker, they can make Quantum of Solace happen.

Not to mention that they already made a song for it, and it's the best Bond song of the new millennium.

Spoiler

From the director of Attack the Block!

Well, if the production team or song is different than these samples, it might not end up being one of the worst bond songs..

 

[ohlawd]

will smith? awesome.

ghostwritten by Rakim? aww yeah

 

[bounchfx]

I don't know who he is, but that doesn't really matter to me as long as it's good.

I hope it's good.

 

[Shuggananas]

I don't know who he is, but that doesn't really matter to me as long as it's good.

I hope it's good.

I hope it's shit so marvel can get the rights back

 

[bobbychalkers]

His solo stuff doesn't do anything for me but he has a great voice.

 

[Pachimari]

So the song will be available on September 25.

 

[Daffy Duck]

God not Sam Smith.... Eugh

I already know how it's going to sound based off all his other songs and it will be bad.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

He's a great singer on CD, but watching him live sucks the life out of me.
They could literally put a decaying body on stage and it would show more emotion than this plank of wood singer.

 

[You Know Nothing]

His solo stuff doesn't do anything for me, and he has a massively annoying voice.

Trash.

 

[Seijuro]

Meh, was on the Ellie Goulding train :-/

 

[HariKari]

So much for Radiohead/Lana Del Rey/Ellie Goulding

What could have been...

 

[Hrothgar]

Bah, poor man's John Newman.

 

[oneils]

Huh, a lot of people were convinced it was Goulding. I guess she was playing along.

 

[redmetal86]

You Know My Name was good, but got old pretty quickly. Skyfall stands the test of time.

Quite the opposite for me.

will smith? awesome.

Oh what could have been....

 

[Sanjuro]

So the song will be available on September 25.

Hahaha

I don't know who Sam Smith is, but his baby fat has deceived us all.

 

[otapnam]

itll probably be better than adele's skyfall, it was pretty fuckin boring.

skyfalllll, skyfalllll, skyfalllllllllllllllllllllll

COME AT ME BROS

 

[DOWN]

Michael Bublé keeps getting ignored.

that's because his good voice happens to have a nasally boyish nature

 

[CloudWolf]

Sam Smith is only good when he's a featured artist. Although I guess his solo songs are good for when you can't sleep.

 

[Des0lar]

People who don't know Sam Smith must live pretty sheltered lives lol
If you've been to any party, club, anything with more than 4 people you've heard a Sam Smith song in the last 2-3 years

 

[smarties00]

Bit more info on the song from an interview early this morning on BBC Radio 1:

The song, called Writing's On The Wall, has been co-written by the 23-year-old and was recorded in January.
Spectre will hit UK cinemas on October 26 and is released in the US on November 6.
Calling it "the quickest song I have ever written," Sam says it took twenty minutes to write and the version being used was the demo he recorded for the film's producers.
"It just came to us," he said and described it as "a classic love song".

On Monday the singer posted a photograph of his hand wearing a ring with the film's Spectre logo on it.
This morning he told Radio 1: "This has been a top secret mission of my own trying to keep it a secret.
"I'm so relieved to actually talk about this."
He joked that he'd "literally have been shot" if he'd let it slip.

The song will be available to buy and stream from September 25.
It was also co-written by Jimmy Napes who has previously collaborated with Sam on tracks including Stay With Me and Lay Me Down.

[CloudWolf]

A classic love song? Written in twenty minutes? It's going to be terrible, isn't it?

If you've been to any party, club, anything with more than 4 people you've heard a Sam Smith song in the last 2-3 years

Correction: You have heard a song where Sam Smith was featured on. Playing a Sam Smith-written song will put the party to sleep.

 

[- J - D -]

My only experience with Sam Smith's music is the music video for I'm Not The Only One.

I watched it a couple times and thought for a moment that I actually might've liked it. Then I realized I couldn't actually remember what the song was like and that I was actually just smitten with Dianna Agron.

So, I'm not enthusiastic for his new Bond song. Unless Diana Agron is in it somehow.

 

[Shuggananas]

Bit more info on the dong

 

[smarties00]

Hahaaa freudian slip.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Written in 20 minutes? Christ.

 

[mrklaw]

When is the first play? Just announcing the name is deliberately stretching out your PR to get another 24hrs if we don't get the song until tomorrow.

 

[Number45]

Meh.

I don't hate him, I just find his material (or at least what I've heard of him) dull.

Will give it a listen (obviously). It's not like the Skyfall theme was anything to write home about either.

 

[Femmeworth]

Written in 20 minutes? Christ.

I assume he is talking about the lyrics.

 

[Zeyphersan]

I assume he is talking about the lyrics.

Well yes

 

[mr-paul]

Awful choice.

I'd have been happier with literally anyone else.

Hate his music with a passion.

 

[Hatchtag]

Meh. Boring choice.

 

[pottuvoi]

I assume he is talking about the lyrics.

Nah, they just followed this and got it done just in time for a lunch.

[GeeTeeCee]

Written in 20 minutes? Christ.

15 minutes to browse Tom Petty songs on Youtube, 5 minutes to write.

 

[Clydefrog]

Wow. Should have just had Ed Sheeran do it.

 

[Sölf]

Never heard of him, but that's probably because it's not my kind of music. Then again, I also didn't like Adell pior to Skyfall and her Bond song was extremely good. So I'll just wait and hope it doesn't sound like the linked examples in this thread.
