And They Say Romance Is Dead
This has something to do with the Dead Weather, but who knows.
Keys and White’s Final Product
Cool video and both artists are of course amazing, but I’m just not feeling the song. I was hoping it was going to be more like that Beck collaboration piano track from the Conquest EP. The song, and the video, are over produced in my opinion.
Oh well, here’s to future collaboration.
Via The Modern Age.
Winehouse takes on Talented Musicians
Amy Winehouse lost the job of performing the theme song to the new James Bond film due to her inability to stay clean–the gig eventually went to the team of White Stripes’ Jack White and Alicia Keys
But according to the Telegraph UK, Winehouse is threatening to release the version of the Bond theme in order to show the flim (SIC) producers that they have “made a big mistake.”
Said Winehouse, “I guess they are going for clean-cut and boring. When I do release mine – and I am tempted to do it on the same day – this would be the bigger hit…If they change their minds, I’m waiting.”
Yes… those other musicians are such commercial phonies. They’re not indie enough to do the theme for a James Bond movie. The tabloid junkie British soul singer in the cleopatra make-up is obviously the “authentic” one. She’s going to prove she’s legit by selling more records– the true measure of a successful artist.
Jack White and Alicia Keys
Jack White is working with Alicia Keys on the new James Bond theme. Thankfully the song is not called “Quantum of Solace,” as that would be impossible to sing.
The White/Keys combination beat out rumored candidates Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis and Duffy for the right to try to join Duran Duran, Shirley Bassey and Carly Simon in the Bond theme hall of fame.
Glad they made the right decision. Also, Bob Dylan is one step closer to finding Alicia Keys.
