Jack White - of The White Stripes and The Raconteurs - is to duet with R'n'B star Alicia Keys on the new James Bond theme.
The lead song for the forthcoming Quantum Of Solace movie - due in cinemas in November - is to be titled 'Another Way To Die' and is the first-ever duet in Bond theme history.
In addition to singing and, presumably, playing guitar on the track, White will also contribute drum parts. The Quantum Of Solace soundtrack will be released on October 28 via J Records.
The film's producers commented:
"We are delighted and pleased to have two such exciting artists as Jack and Alicia, who were inspired by our film to join together their extraordinary talents in creating a unique sound for Quantum of Solace."

bleedin' nora...
blurgh
as much as i hate to say it Winehouse or Last Shadow Puppets would've been solid choices for this.
This is going to sound fucking terrible
Jack White is probably the last person I'd chose for a Bond theme, it should clearly been Winehouse. Even Chris Cornell again would've been a better choice.
??
Sounds awful already.
Bond should go Batman and foresake rock music.
jack white can be...
preety weird!! looking forward to hearing it
I am rather excited about this
being a huge fan of everything Jack's done. Alicia isn't bad either. I still think Franz Ferdinand would be a great choice but this could be brilliant.
Mamma Mia
at least Brosnan wasn't considered.

The White Stripes
Alicia Keys
