Billie Eilish To Perform Theme Song For New James Bond Film, ‘No Time To Die’
The 18-year-old pop star is the youngest artist in history to write and record a James Bond theme song.
Billie Eilish has been confirmed to sing the theme song for the 25th James Bond film, No Time To Die. The song will be released on Darkroom/Interscope Records.
No Time To Die is in theatres globally from 2 April 2020 in the UK through Universal Pictures International and in the US on 10 April from MGM via their United Artists Releasing banner.
The 18-year-old multi-platinum selling and Grammy Award nominated Billie Eilish has written the title song with her elder brother Finneas. Billie Eilish is the youngest artist in history to write and record a James Bond theme song.
“We are excited to announce that Billie and Finneas have written an incredibly powerful and moving song for No Time To Die, which has been impeccably crafted to work within the emotional story of the film,” said Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, the producers of No Time To Die.
Billie Eilish said, “It feels crazy to be a part of this in every way. To be able to score the theme song to a film that is part of such a legendary series is a huge honour. James Bond is the coolest film franchise ever to exist. I’m still in shock”.
Finneas added, “Writing the theme song for a Bond film is something we’ve been dreaming about doing our entire lives. There is no more iconic pairing of music and cinema than the likes of Goldfinger and Live And Let Die. We feel so, so lucky to play a small role in such a legendary franchise, long live 007.”
“There are a chosen few who record a Bond theme. I am a huge fan of Billie and Finneas. Their creative integrity and talent are second to none and I cannot wait for audiences to hear what they’ve brought – a fresh new perspective whose vocals will echo for generations to come,” said Cary Joji Fukunaga.
Billie Eilish released her debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? in March 2019. The Album Of The Year nominated full-length debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S as well as 17 additional countries around the world upon release. She scored her first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 and at Top 40 radio with Song and Record of the Year nominated ‘bad guy.’ Her sold out 2020 arena ‘Where Do We Go?’ world tour starts on 9 March.
In No Time To Die, James Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.
