Happy Sunday, Patron-O-Jects!

Sooo this one's not quite a music video reaction as there's no actual MV to go with this song, BUT we couldn't resist the chance to check out a brand new Bond theme and give a few thoughts just the same!

Join us as we dive into 007's 25th opening tune!

Looooved this. Also love how she totally upended the preconceived notions that she can only make songs like Bad Guy. I mean especially for a foetus this is damn impressive.

The CHILLLLS damn this song is so good!! I can actually picture the imagery!!

I Love the song. Classic and fresch. Best Bond song: A view to a kill Worst: Die another Day Best ok song: For Your eyes only 😄

Jani Salminen

This was really good, reminds me of Skyfall at some parts. Great lyrics even though, like you guys said, i don't think they will have much to do with the actual movie. Billie's music is so far from what i usually listen to but for some reason her songs just hit me.

The first time I heard it chills and goosebumps man! Streamed it right away and play on repeat. Such a talented eight year old lol

My favorite Bond song is The World is Not Enough by Garbage. (Skyfall by Adele is pretty iconic and probably my second fav.) I love Sam Smith usually but Writing's on the Wall was super forgettable so I'd rate that one as just ok. I actually really like Die Another Day as a song on its own but it just doesn't feel like a Bond song so I'll rate it as worst even tho it isn't bad.

Right?? Was very curious as to what sort of approach this would end up taking & how it might compliment vs. expand what we’ve already heard from her. Her album definitely goes further than Bad Guy territory & hopefully this continues that trajectory!

Yessss!! Really glad you enjoyed it man! Definitely got some classic Bond visuals swirling around our heads 😎

LOL I knew it *anyone* was capable of pinpointing the best OK bond song, it’d be you 😂🙌🏼 appreciate the feedback, brother - and really glad you enjoyed the new tune! Like you said, classic & fresh. Excited to see the title sequence when the film finally drops!!

Glad you liked it!! I often wonder, when hearing these, how much of the script/story/themes the artists are privy to before embarking on these songs or if it’s more about sticking to the general milieu of James Bond.. 🤔 either way, though, both sound & subject matter seem to fit nicely! And that’s pretty cool that she’s managed to grab your ear that way. Perhaps it’s something in the writing & the intimate, super-close way in which she tends to sing?

LOL right?! Most talented 8 year old I’ve ever seen! Definitely got the chills going over here, even on subsequent listens.

Oooh, nice pick! Been ages since I’ve heard that one, actually listening to it as I’m responding here haha. Gotta love that Shirley Manson!! I sorta remember people generally being lukewarm on the Sam Smith one, sadly. I think I’ve only heard it the once up until now 😮 And glad Die Another Day isn’t without some charm haha. It’d be fun to do a ranking of the bond themes.. just as songs on their own.. haha. See what holds up best without needing to complement a movie 🤔
