Acknowledging the song as the most divisive thing he’s ever done, the effort is as under-appreciated as the film it accompanies.īringing rock and roll back to James Bond, the duet format of “Another Way To Die” is a fantastic mirror of the relationship between Bond and accomplice Camille Montes ( Olga Kurylenko). It was also an opportunity, in Jack White’s own words, to “get away with murder.” Called into the gig in a pinch after Amy Winehouse’s Bond song never materalized, White pushed the envelope when it came to a 007 theme.
Written by White himself, it was the first duet in James Bond history. Jack White and Alicia Keys’ “Another Way To Die” burst onto the scene to promote Quantum of Solace, with a spirit just as experimental as the movie it was connected to.
This is another song that saw me initially confused about just what I felt about it. Another Way To Die (Quantum Of Solace, 2008)
