Alicia Keys and Jack White have recorded the theme song for the new James Bond film, “Quantum of Solace,” producers said Wednesday.
The R&B singer and White Stripes front man have teamed up for “Another Way To Die,” the first duet to be chosen as a Bond theme. Producers said that Mr. White has written and produced the song and also plays drums, as well as singing with 11-time Grammy winner Ms. Keys.
Amy Winehouse had previously been linked to the “Quantum of Solace” theme. But her collaborator, Mark Ronson, said earlier this year that work on a song for the film had been abandoned because Ms. Winehouse, who has struggled publicly with drugs and alcohol, was not ready to record.
“Quantum of Solace” sees Daniel Craig return as suave secret agent 007. It is due for release in New York on November 7.
