it’s a terrible song. and i’d say alicia keys is “wasted”, not unnecessary. the only redeeming thing is that i recall chris cornell’s terrible song from casino royale was over quickly and quickly forgotten when it came to the actual movie.

btw, sheryl crow’s “tomorrow never dies” was the best bond theme in recent memory.

MORE TRUMPETS!" while jack and alicia are trying to record. aside from jack's guitar, there's nothing that makes this stand out among the other bond themes from the past ten years. same ideas, same boring arrangements. heck, even madonna's theme broke somewhat from convention.... and you can tell how much the bond people liked that by how many times the song's melody was revisited in the actual film's score (never).</p> it sounds a lot like i thought it would. i think it could’ve been an interesting collaboration, but because it’s a bond theme, it automatically limits where the artists can go with the song. i imagine some record exec yelling “MORE STRINGS!

Haven't heard a decent Bond theme tune in a long long time, jeesh, since A-ha! :)</p> Sounds like its a work in progress vocal mix to me.
