How many fans of James Bond movies find that Sam Smith's 'Writting's On The Wall', while it's a great song, doesn't manage to have that particular spirit that a James Bond theme song needs? Not having a string orchestra behind and a portentous voice like Sam Smith's - I repeat that the theme is a hit - does it mean that the song is the ideal one for the film, admit it.
On the other hand: how many fans of Lana del Rey and followers of James Bond films have seen it very clear that she should be one of the stars chosen to compose the success that this spy needs? Since 'Born to Die' broke the sales charts, there have been many who have seen the fact of a central theme of James Bond performed by Lana del Rey feasible, including herself.
In an interview for NME, Lana del Rey spoke about her interest in composing the theme song for 'Specter', saying that even on her latest album, 'Honeymoon', there are a couple of themes that would have worked for the film: “I would have done it if someone had asked me, but nobody asked me. I love all the Bond music that has come out over the years and I love the soundtracks in general. There are two songs on 'Honeymoon' that have that Bond feeling, '24' and 'Swan Song' ».
The best of all is that, far from being the typical "Divot" who opens her mouth to exclusively venerate her music, Lana del Rey ends up being right and only having proposed those two songs as possible Bond themes. Doesn't Lana del Rey have all that much-needed drama when writing and singing that a Bond song needs?
