Sam Smith won a Oscar for that garbage theme?
There really is no hope.

Since Timothy Dalton left the role in my opinion there have only been two good Bond songs.

Tina Turner's Goldeneye and Chris Cornell's You Know my Name from Casino Royale.

Ironically the first film of each new Bond. EVERY other song has been DIRE.

Personally I thought Adele's Skyfall was excellent and up there with the best of them.

I also thought that song was extremely well written and performed.

1. I've honestly never heard of her before.
2. Can't be any worse than Sam Smith.
3. Hope it's not rubbish like Skyfall (sorry, but I really can't stand that song).
4. Give me more songs like Another Way To Die (I know i'm in the minority in liking that song).

I hadn't heard of her either, so listened to her album (she's only released one) on Spotify and thought it was very good, so understand why she would have been approached to do the theme song. Although I've only listened to it once, her music seems to be quite low-key, so I think it'll need to be a change from the norm to make an impact on the film and on the radio.

Yep, it was awful. I'll never know what possessed them to use it. It makes All Time High look like a masterpiece.
