Sam Smith is Singing the New James Bond Theme, With Some Production from Disclosure
"Writing's on the Wall" Due Out September 25, Spectre To Be Released November 6
Sep 08, 2015 Disclosure
After much anticipation over who would be picked to sing the theme song to the upcoming new James Bond film, Spectre, it’s been announced that British singer Sam Smith has gotten the honors. Smith and Jimmy Napes produced the song, but the British dance duo Disclosure, who have collaborated with Smith before, also contributed to the production of the song. It’s entitled “Writing’s on the Wall” and will be released September 25, ahead of the November 6 release of Spectre.
Over the weekend Smith posted to Twitter a photo of his finger with a ring bearing the symbol for the evil Spectre organization, heightening speculation that he was the chosen one. Then today it was officially announced. And then Disclosure tweeted that they had contributed some “additional production to this incredible song.”
“This is one of the highlights of my career. I am honored to finally announce that I will be singing the next Bond theme song,” said Smith on Twitter. “I hope you all enjoy the song as much as I enjoyed making it,” he added.
Smith follows Adele, who did the theme for the last Bond film, 2012’s Skyfall. Others to soundtrack the opening titles to Daniel Craig’s Bond films are Jack White and Alicia Keys for 2008’s Quantum of Solace and Chris Cornell for 2006’s Casino Royale. And of course previous Bond themes have been sung by a cavalcade of stars, including: Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Nancy Sinatra, Paul McCartney and Wings, Carly Simon, Duran Duran, A-ha, Tina Turner, Garbage, Madonna, and others.
“I am so excited to be a part of this iconic British legacy and join an incredible line up of some of my biggest musical inspirations,” Smith also tweeted.
The new album by Disclosure, Caracal, (due out September 25 via Capitol Records), includes the song “Omen,” which features the vocals of Sam Smith.
