NO TIME TO DIE TEE
Billie and Bond Are a Perfect Marriage
Billie Eilish's theme for the new James Bond film is a dramatic, unsettling ballad that hints the plot will centre around the secret agent's betrayal.
The lyrics to No Time To Die reference lies and deceit, as Eilish sings: "You were never on my side."
The song was released at 00:00 GMT, at the same time as the latest trailer for the film, starring Daniel Craig.
Eilish, who turned 18 in December, is the youngest singer ever to record a theme for the franchise.
Its release was highly anticipated at the end of a week that saw her performing to a worldwide TV audience at the Oscars.
No Time To Die opens with a haunting piano motif, with the star's voice weary as she sings, "I should have known I'd leave alone".
A familiar tremolo guitar ushers in the chorus, where the singer develops her theme: "I've fallen for a lie... Are you death or paradise?"
Tapping Billie Eilish to do the theme for the forthcoming No Time to Die is another vote of confidence in her voice and a signal that Eon Productions, the company instrumental in the production of 25 Bond films in nearly 60 years, is looking toward the future again. (True Detectivedirector Cary Joji Fukunaga getting tapped as the first American to helm an Eon Bond film seems to follow that same wisdom.) It’s a perfect marriage, another prestige token for a young artist who’s been racking them up lately, and a solid shot at chart traction after Sam Smith’s Academy Award–winning Spectre theme bricked on the Hot 100.
