Sounds like there might be a Bond theme incoming.

 

Seen this said about multiple acts over the past few months (Dua Lipa is one that springs to mind) so won't go buying too much in to it just yet, although seems like it may have more legs than previous rumours. Interesting choice. Hopefully a move away from the plodding moodiness of the last two film's songs.

Her current Instagram story is either a hint or a deliberate wind-up

And Skyfall is a stormer.

Billie Eilish is a move *away* from moodiness?

And yeah, Skyfall is one of the best Bond themes. And films.

I was just searching through my brain to remember the last few themes and for a minute there I actually thought the Radiohead Spectre theme was the official one. 

Can't remember for the life of me how the actual one goes.

Haha, I've had the same thought in the past. It should've been. Infinitely superior.

Always thought Arctic Monkeys would do the next bond theme tune.

Would be up for another Glastonbury moment like this:

Granted I'm not the biggest Billie fan, but her stuff seems a little bit more upbeat than both Skyfall and that shit Sam Smith One (musically - maybe not lyrically). 

And yeah should've added, Skyfall is a great song, but a move away from that kind of big overblown ballad-esque song would be welcome imo, especially after a completely unmemorable one last film (with a film to match).

Not against it in principle, but it's an approach that's definitely resulted in its share of clunkers (e.g. Die Another Day)

Aye but the one that followed that was a banger, if a bit of an odd choice for a Bond song. I'd rather they go down a weird route and miss than just keep it safe with another dreary plodder.

Wait til it wins an Oscar.

Nah

[Madyaker]

Maybe but it's just to early to call it. I think she'll do a good bond theme though.

Youngest artist to ever headline Glastonbury coming up. Can’t wait.

2021 or 2022... (probably 2022)

Make it happen Emily! Can’t wait!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Let's see how she does sub-headlining this year.

Not sure about that one happening 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Neither am I. But as someone who definitely has a ticket for 2020 but is reliant on good luck for future years it feels like the better option.

Her before Taylor would be the dream

[Ayrshire Chris]

the Bond promo , got to be going to be a lot different from all other bond theme tunes

[Ayrshire Chris]

Ed Sheeran will be well pissed off that young Billie was chosen 

[CaledonianGonzo]

You usually have to pitch a song to Babs Broccoli. Maybe he did and they went with Billie's punt.

That's why there are rejected songs floating around by Radiohead, Pulp, Pet Shop Boys, Blondie, etc
