Movies: No Time to Die

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Hans Zimmer confirmed to do the score.

 

[MXD]

... And Billie Eilish the theme song.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

That one is not confirmed but sure sounds like it’s happening.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

This movie certainly has a lot of talent put into it, both behind the scenes and in front of the camera. Really hope it delivers.

Confirmed now

Really looking forward to a Zimmer Bond score.

Yes, I believe she did some punch-ups on the behest of Craig.

I only know her from being Lando’s sex-bot in the Han Solo movie

The more I hear her the more I'm just not a fan. That song almost put me to sleep. It's also barely understandable.

The chorus is decent, everything else is meh. They should have went with Dua Lipa.

Agreed. I'm not a fan of Dua Lipa's music, but her vocals and presence are worthy.

This one is...……passable? Kinda boring, better than Sam Smith but not something I'll remember. Hell, I already can't remember it after back to back listens.

Agree. It’s very bad. I don’t think she is a good singer. It sounds like her voice is breaking up and she is struggling.

Yeah, Bond film songs have a certain vibe to them. Not sure Eilish was the right choice vocally. Dua Lipa is a more conventional vocalist in that regard.

 

[Jussi]

I think it works better with video. Even with this short clip:



On Eilish, I think her voice is unique as it's very soft while still able to convey emotion or whatever. But with her, the biggest selling point is the songs, not the voice. Though she creates the songs with her brother, the latter might actually be more talented in that department. The biggest thing of course is that she's only 18, who knows how much she can develop yet. And I wouldn't be surprised if a year from now she can add "Oscar winner" to her resume.

Does anyone know the best place to watch the Bond movies? I want to watch them all before this one comes out but not sure if they are available for streaming or if I'll have to Pirate.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Billie Eilish's rise to fame is one of the most perplexing I've ever seen. I do think she's a talented singer but she never showcases that in her music. Essentially every song she has is just her sleepily whispering and production that is unbelievably bare bones. How is this translating to mainstream audiences, especially a younger generation? I understand the appeal that she's so young, but it's not like there aren't other young artists out there. It's just mind blowing to me.

All of the pre Craig ones were on Amazon Prime for a while. Not sure if they still are.

It's the songs, not the voice.

There's a whole bunch of vocal coaches/analysts on Youtube analyzing her songs/voice(one of she did not like ). It is a a talent to sing in such a "low" soothing voice.



The James Corden Carpool Karaoke video is a must watch for anyone not familiar with her.

She showed Alicia Keys a video of her doing a cover of "Fallin" when she was 12 at a talent show.:

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Song isn’t bad but I was hoping for more of an up-tempo song after the previous two were pretty slow.

Either way, the lyrics sure do seem to spoil a little of the movie...

 

[Cloned]

I think the song suffers from some questionable production decisions. Eilish already has a soft voice, the instrumental shouldn't be even softer than her voice.



This sounds much better.

Great voice and fine song--can't help but wonder what kind of Bond movie this introduces, though, certainly not a Brosnan/Moore-type romp. The song and performance whet my interest for the movie, so it has done its job.
