Over the years, a lot of popular singers have delivered truly iconic theme songs for the variousJames Bond movies. The list is long and quite storied, withPaul McCartney,Madonna, Carly Simon, Shirley Bassey and Nancy Sinatra contributing their vocal talents to the franchise. The last installment,Skyfall, even wonAdelean Oscar for Best Original Song in 2013. Now, it seems,Sam Smithis ready to add himself to this rich catalogue of performers.
No details about the song in question have been released yet. A four-time Grammy Award winning musical artist,Sam Smithposted a black and white photo depicting the iconic insignia ring worn by the main villains in Spectre, withChristoph Waltzrumored to play Ernst Stavro Blofeld. The photo in question certainly seems like an announcement that he’s lending his vast talents to this James Bond adventure. Over the weekend, it was rumored that this week would mark the debut for this as-yet untitled song.
HitFixwere the first to announced that the Spectre theme song would be hitting on Tuesday. This is the same day that advanced ticket sales for the movie go on sale nationwide. It’s speculated that Sony has a plan in place to give all those who purchase a ticket a free download of theSam Smithsong. It would certainly serve as a nice reward for fans. As of yet, there is no official confirmation that any of this is happening from Sony Pictures, MGM or EON.
Over the past few months, there has been plenty of speculation and rumors regarding who would be responsible for the Spectre theme song. Early on, it was said thatRihannawas set to not only sing the song, but also star as a newBond Girl. That obviously didn’t pan out. A group of U.K. based bookies wagered that Radiohead was bringing forth this new ditty.Ellie Gouldingwas also a strong contender after she posted a message from Abbey Road studios saying, ‘That’s a wrap.’ This set off alarm bells, as theSkyfalltrack was recorded at this same location.
So, is this just a cool photoSam Smithposted on his social media sites? Or is it an official announcement that he’s the one behind the Spectre song? We only have until tomorrow to find out. Unless all of this information is bogus. Which it very well could be. We have the photo for you hear, which some think is the cover of the single that will be released soon.
