New Bond theme from Jack White and Alicia Keys hits UK charts

www.3news.co.nz - 9th Oct 2008

Jack White: The new Bond movie Quantum of Solace is due for release here in December.
'Another Way to Die', the movie's theme song, has already hit the charts in the UK
It is a duet from Jack White and Alicia Keys.
White wrote and produced the track, providing his trademark thumping heavy guitar, with Alicia belting out the lyrics - which includes the opener: "Another ringer with the slick trigger finger for Her Majesty".
The pair sing about death and destruction - a neat match for the new spy outing which sees a betrayed Bond out for revenge.
Amy Winehouse was initially working on the 007 song with producer Mark Ronson but the sessions were abandoned and the honour finally went to the American musicians.

Jack White and Alicia Keys: Another Way to Die
A few weeks ago we brought you the Coke commercial featuring Jack White’s theme song for the new Bond film. It was a nice little taster, but kind of hard to get the feel of it, what with all of Coke’s graphics and it only being 30 seconds long. Here is a much nicer taste of Mr. White’s work, which some of you may have seen earlier this week on Monday Night Football. This one also gives us a nice glimpse of Alicia Keys’ fine ass doin’ work. Video pulled from I Guess I’

I hadn't even considered people might want to listen to Jack White and Alicia Keys' new Bond theme as a recreational activity outside of the film, but presumably that's the pitch with this music video for their song, Another Way to Die. Surprisingly, I didn't mind it this time, or at least not until it went on for an additional two minutes after I wanted it to stop.

Discuss: The 'Quantum of Solace' Theme Song - Love It or Hate It?
So last week, the official theme song for Quantum of Solace -- y'know, that new James Bond flick -- was formally released online, and above is the music video for Jack White and Alicia Keys' "Another Way to Die." This managed to slip past us, probably because we were all still drooling over Erik's chance to comandeer an Aston friggin' Martin (no, no, 'jealous' isn't quite the word...), and now that it's out, opinions are becoming considerably divided. On his personal blog, Bond devotee David Cornelius of

New Jack White & Alicia Keys Video - "Another Way To Die"
The Bond between Jack and Alicia is strong. And by that I mean it has massive pecs and its name is Daniel Craig, because if we are talking musical bonds then no it is not strong. The musical bond sounds about as strong as White giving Alicia the Keys to his 007 studio an hour after leaving and saying "Alicia please go in and sing the words and notes that I have sung and we will be a HIT BOND THEME COLLABORATION." But the official hit Bond theme collaboration video does go a long way to establishing the pair

Alicia Keys & Jack White’s “Another Way to Die” Music Video for James Bond Film “Quantum Solace” Rocks!
“Another Way to Die”, performed by Alicia Keys and Jack White, is the theme song to the 2008 James Bond film, “Quantum of Solace”. Written and produced by White, who also plays the drums, the song is the first duet in the Bond film series. I think the pairing of these two gifted musicians is genius. The song title and throbbing bass line give the song that 007 feel that we have all come to love. This video is a sleak and sexy treat for music fans that love a good power pairing of tw

New Jack White & Alicia Key video: ‘Another Way to Die’
There’s been a lot of hype lately around the latest Bond theme, performed by the flaming duo Alicia Keys and Jack White, typically named Another Way to Die. Only righteous hype, though, because this song is just smoking hot! The movie doesn’t come any lower either. The video just surfaced a few moments ago. From the few plays I gave the video, it doesn’t seem that badass. I mean, it just features the two playing together, with Jack on guitar and drums, and Alicia on Keys (get it? I crack
