    In that case, Zaphod99, one of us is bound to end up gravely disappointed. ;)

    I have a sneaking suspicion that it may well be me. Don't get me wrong, love the Miss Bassey, made the Pilgrimage many times...it would certainly not be the end of my world, just not my preference that's all.

    I hate to blow my own trumpet, but I have the voice AND the song, dont believe me?

    London Gramma, Florence Welch or Susanne Sundfør would be contenders for me.

    Michael Bublé would be the most suitable vocalist for the next JB theme.

    Thought you guys might enjoy this. I had some cool new plugins to play around with, so we recorded our own Bond 25 song, with the title "Shatterhand." Just a fun side project, but I think it captures the Craig-era vibe pretty well. Check it out and let me know if you like it or hate it.

    You could get Matt Monro, Jr. I'm sure he's available.

    I just heard "Arsonist's lullaby' by Hozier and I think the artist has a lot of potential as. Bond title song singer.

    I'd love Noel Gallagher to do the theme tune to Bond 25, and I wouldn't be against Adele coming back and doing another one either.

    I'd be keen for a Michael Bolton featuring Kenny G Bond Song. :)) -{
    Either that or Shirley Bassey with Chance the Rapper :))

    Being a Kiwi (or at least based there) you've no doubt heard of Bic Runga. Just interested to know what your thoughts are if she were to do a Bond theme song. For mine I think she would be perfect. The album 'Birds' is absolutely brilliant.

    I 'discovered' Bic Runga on a trip to NZ about ten years ago and thought she had an amazing voice. I picked up a couple of CDs before heading home. Haven't heard anything new of hers in recent years but if she sounds the same today, I think she'd do a great Bond theme.

    Wow, I'm surprised Bic Runga is known outside of NZ. I thought was just one of those local small time artists.
    her voice is amazing!

    Ed Sheeran wrote a song for Bond three years ago. He is very keen on becoming a Bond title song artist and has the song in case he's asked some time in the future.

    Rag'n'Bone Man has a fantastic soulful voice , which I think would sound
    fantastic over some Daniel Kleinman titles.

    Please no. He's even more anodyne than the Crown prince of Beige Sam Smith if that's possible.

    Laura Mvula or Monarchy would be cracking choices.

    I don't know about the rest of you but I'd quite like something with a bit more oomph this time seeing as we had Adele and Sam Smith for the last two.
    It was either that.....or the priesthood

    Everybody has their favorites for the Bond theme. Realistically, it will be someone (or a band) that is big internationally and is well known in the USA....that's just how its been. Unlike the old days, when the score composer wrote a theme song and then the composer and the producers went out and found a singer to perform it, most of the artists doing Bond themes today are also writing the song and it is hit or miss if they are even collaborating with the composer of the score.

    Now she would be a superb choice. Lorde would also be good, but perhaps in a few years. No more dringey Ballads please I beg of you. Something big and ballsy with lots of Orchestration. Come to think of it Mvula would be ideal, she could do big but not overblown.

    Lorde, Lady Gaga, Lana del Rey and Rhianna would all be good Bond artists :007)
  • zaphod99zaphod99 Posts: 1,415MI6 Agent
    All great suggestions, clearly there is no shortage of suitable talent, Muse and Goldfrapp are perenialy on my wish list, yet we got Sam Smith with an anemic dirge and an accompanying boast re how quickly he dashed it off. That coupled with a Mendes score of mind numbing underachievement. Here's hoping...
