New Alicia Keys and Jack White – Another Way To Die

New Alicia Keys and Jack White   Another Way To Die listen
I can honestly say the whole world was excited when news of this monster collaboration hit. I can’t even imagine what musically induced euphoric state Alicia Keys and White Stripes/Raconteurs fans are in right now. Alicia Keys and Jack White gives the new Jame Bond movie, Quantum of Solace a delicious bluesy rock theme with “Another Way To Die” — and it completely shatters Chris Cornell’s theme for Casino Royal. I do have to admit, Madonna’s “Die Another Day” was pretty damn fantastic. These two might be my favorite James Bond themes ever.
