Another one, with multiple choices possible

[thecasinoroyale]

Either keep Newman or bring back Arnold as they have nailed this new era of 007 music.

 

I hate the fact with every director there is a need to want to change everything else for something new. I want to retain as much as possible for that family-feeling about the production crew of the Bond films, and as Newman did a fanstastic job, I hope he can return without Mendes.

 

If not, free up David Arnold to return.

I would prefer someone who scored a previous Bond film, which led me to choosing Eric Serra for the second poll question.

 

For the title track, someone new, preferably a male/female duet. For the duet, I'd like to see a relatively unknown female vocalist paired with guitarist Lindsey Buckingham.  The female vocalist, first choice would be Aspen Vincent, would be the main vocal star with Buckingham providing a very trippy, yet hard-edged guitar riff as well as vocals.

Whoever performs it I don't mind. Just as long as the composer of the score has a hand in writing the song.

I'd like for Newman to return with Muse for the title song.

[007jamesbond]

Someone new or Newman

 

Adele should return 

[S K Y F A L L]

Loving the polls. I wouldn't mind a returning composers David Arnold, Thomas Newman or Eric Serra, although Serra hasn't done anything I've even seen since. 

 

If a new artist, then the theme song should be performed by

The title song is reprised at the end of the film rather than the Bond theme yet again

The main credits and the end credits get a different song each e.g. The Living Daylights, GoldenEye

The film's composer sings the end credits song

 

I think its time they end a film without the James Bond theme song. I choose someone new for the theme song.

I only want one thing in the Bond 24 soundtrack: The return of the '007 Theme'. Not the Bond theme, but the one seen in FRWL, Thunderball, YOLT, DAF, and Moonraker.

I voted for female duet as it's a new idea and you could get some great harmonies from it.

This has been great Jim, thanks

P.F.O.D.

[thecasinoroyale]

Female vocalists are showing themselves to be very adept at giving a powerful vocal performance I have to say...!

[Dustin]

Somebody new or Thomas Newman. Wouldn't be averse to another instrumental, provided it's paired with a song for the end titles.

Come again?

[Professor Pi]

Give Thomas Newman another chance to further develop his ideas and embrace using the Bond theme.  He'd do a really good '007' theme.  If he declines, David Arnold will probably have fresh ideas having sat this one out.  CR and QoS were improvements over TWINE and DAD so I'd welcome his next offering.  Still want to hear "I Will Return", his unfinished Bond song.  Otherwise, someone new (having ready The Music of James Bond, pretty sure Serra's got no chance.)

 

The song should be incorporated into the score, ala TND or TLD, even FYEO.  Barry had that formula down.  Prefer the female singers, but Chris Cornell was awesome.  Not up for a band doing another title song, however.  Too late to give Alice Cooper a second chance?  So male singing title song doubling as action theme, and female singing romantic song over end credits, like If You Asked Me To or If There Was a Man.  I just hope they value artistic choices more than commercial considerations. 

 

Whoever does the music, may it evoke the locales of the film like LALD, QoS, and LTK.

[S K Y F A L L]

We need some more votes, Thomas Newman and David Arnold are neck and neck.

BOND 24 - THE MUSIC:

 

 

- someone new as composer;

 

- If a previous composer: Eric Serra;

 

- Adele or a new version of the OHMSS theme;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS: congrats on these polls Jim. great idea!
