Some of these choices are a few choices that not a lot of people mention about, so I thought I should share:

1. Halsey

2. Violent Vira

3. The Pretty Reckless

    I’d say probably along the lines of:

    Hozier (I can see a nice YKMN or LALD style song from him).

    Dua Lipa (maybe a bit obvious but it’s certainly not unheard of for big artists to do Bond themes, and she could be a good fit).

    Other bigger artists who I can see being considered are: Lana Del Ray, Chappell Roan, Sam Fender… there’s an artist called Raye who did a cover of SF I think at something this year (not overly familiar with her, but powerful voice and seems a good fit).

    I guess my more left field picks could be Fiona Apple, Mitski, Wolf Alice, Portishead, Tame Impala, or Alex Turner….

    I've given up on Lana del Rey doing a theme song, unless Amazon proves me wrong. I just feel like during the Craig era they had multiple opportunities to get her but weren't interested?

    I think Cynthia Erivo would be a terrific choice. I think she would bring the pipes and grandeur of a Bassey / Turner / Adele type of theme.

    The Pretty Reckless have been my choice for years.

    P.J. Harvey would have been good a few years ago, but I don’t know if she could bring it now.

    Lana Del Rey is an obvious choice.

    She submitted one, but frankly it wasn’t very good.
    (she released it a couple of years back).

    Agreed Lana Del Rey is obvious choice.

    Again: Lana Del Rey says her Bond theme was turned down

    Here's the song she submitted:



    I would suggest the obvious choice was what they did: to turn it down. It's pretty boring.

    If I had ultimate choice I would like to see Lady Gaga do it, as I think she would knock it out of the park with a big, bombastic, high energy banger. Plus she has done work for other movies so understands the score (so to speak).

    Dua Lipa is another pretty obvious choice for the producers to make. Her Royal Albert Hall concert proved she could translate her songs and style in a big orchestra soundscape really well.

    I feel like Lana Del Rey would've been great 10 years ago. I'm not sure when the last time she had a major single or album though, and the producers will likely want an artist more current.

    Ultimately, whoever it is, I just want them to work with the movie composer and have the theme's melody heavily integrated into the soundtrack.

    Raye seems the natural fit to me at the moment, I like 007HallY's suggestion of Mitski though, that could work.

    I think Gaga already should have been doing Bond song. She is that good.

    Lady Gaga would be an excellent choice...

    Rondé. Dutch Duran Duran/a-h.






    Lolly Jane Blue (and Sil van der Woerd)

    From 2010. Looks very inspyred by The world is not enough videoclip with Alice in Wonderland vibe (No Time to Die also has some Alice in Wonderland reference), some nude. Directed by Dutch directer / Dop

    This is closer to Lana Del Rey.


    Marina. Don't vergot her visuals. Those be a bit Live And Let Die, TMWTGG, FYEO and Dr No. Very 60's and 80's.

    Dua Lipa is a no brainer too.

    By the time we get another Bond movie (4-5 years from now?), the music landscape could change and there could be a new artist or trend.

    I love the suggestions in this thread, and I'd love a Lana del Rey theme song. But sadly, the long gaps between movies have not just aged actors out of the role, but it also puts a lot of musicians well past their peak popularity too.

    Olivia Dean


    Her voice is just so...... damn soothing to listen to.

    The producers will choose a mega$$$ artist, so whatever the current flavor is by the time Villeneuve needs to think about music, it will be decided.

    Olivia Dean is on the rise and does have a voice not unlike Adele, as best exemplified in this piece:

    I think Bond still needs big artist for the theme song.

    …. and not a ballad . Lady Gaga could do a killer song ; I can imagine her doing something that has quite elements but eventually explodes into something more dynamic.

    I also still endorse Oasis; they have reunited, sound incredible and are playing in sold out stadiums.

    I agree - we can't kick off with a Writings on the Wall / No Time To Die low key, low energy mournful song. It need to be big and brash and full of energy, like LALD or You Know My Name.

    I don't think it has to be full-on rock, something along the Skyfall lines would go down very well. I don't think GoldenEye would be called exactly rock either but it was about right I thought.

    I think Skyfall is quite slow. GoldenEye isn’t exactly fast, but it is at least kind of bombastic and high energy.

    A song by Oasis, with the same DNA as this solo effort by Noel Gallagher would work; it’s melodic but has an edge.

    On guitar is the great Johnny Marr; he played on the NTTD score.

    Obviously it would have a bit more of a Bond flair…

    If guitar rockers like Noel Gallagher & Johnny Marr team up with Hans Zimmer for Bond 26, that would make for a great Bond score - Title song. I think if they want to pick from Oasis, it's going to be Noel...as he's the main musical brain in the band...even if Liam is also great.

    I agree with every word of this ; while Noel is a very good vocalist, Liam provides an energy and edge that would be perfect for launching a new 007.

    I would love to see Title Song by Oasis ..,

    Hhmm, I think she's closer to Amy Winehouse than Adele.

    Yeah. Count me in as well. I would love to hear an Oasis Bond theme. I'm a huge fan of theirs as well. It would definitely be electric. Yeah, Liam is a rocker for sure...so it wouldn't hurt if the whole Band, Marr & Zimmer do the theme tune - score.

    Oasis would also do a great music video for the Bond theme, like this one. It's one of my favorite songs of theirs.
