White Keys

Alicia Keys and Jack White have recorded the theme song for the next installment of James Bond the “Quantum Solace.” White wrote and played the drums for the song while the 11-time Grammy winning Keys will lend her vocal talents. This seems like a hit or miss scenario to me. While I love both White and Keys, I worry that their respective styles will clash. There isn’t going to be a middle ground it’ll either be amazing or just down right boring. Last time Keys teamed up with another artist from a different stylistic background (John Mayer on the song “Lesson Learned”) it didn’t do as well as everyone thought. Amy Winehouse was originally tagged to the “Quantum Solace” theme but her collaborator Mark Ronson didn’t think she was in any condition to record. Personally I think it’s going to disappoint. But we’ll see. The “Quantum Solace” is due for release in Britain Oct. 31; worldwide in November.
