Sam Smith Confirms Spectre Theme Is Recorded!!!

James Bond is just a month away and everyone wants to hear the follow-up them to Adele’s 007 theme so Sam Smith Confirms Spectre Theme Is Recorded.

The British crooner, Sam Smith wasted no time and announced the news on Twitter, saying:

“This is one of the highlights of my career.”

“I am honored to finally announce that I will be singing the next Bond theme song.”

The key word there is “finally.”

Sam spoke to BBC Radio 1, telling them that he recorded the song in January (“the quickest song I have ever written”) and had been trying his darndest to keep it hush-hush ever since.

He wrote the song with Jimmy Napes, with whom he penned the monster hit “Stay With Me.”

He revealed to Radio 1:

“This has been a top-secret mission of my own trying to keep it a secret…Breakfast Show.”

“I’m so relieved to actually talk about this.”

The song, called “Writing’s on the Wall,” will be released September 25.

Smith added:

“I am so excited to be a part of this iconic British legacy and join an incredible line up of some of my biggest musical inspirations.” 

 

History of Bond themes:

 

The Bond movies have a tradition of tapping the “it” guy or gal for their opening number.

Adele (“Skyfall”), Madonna (“Die Another Day”) and Tina Turner (“GoldenEye”) have all had a go at previous theme songs, as have Duran Duran, Sheena Easton and Sir Paul McCartney. Shirley Bassey managed a three-peat (“Goldfinger,” “Diamonds are Forever,” and “Moonraker.”)

Spectre hits theaters on October 26 in the United Kingdom and November 6 in the U.S.
