Listen to the theme song for the next James Bond movie

The theme song for the upcoming James Bond movie, "Writing's On The Wall, " by British singer Sam Smith, was broadcast on Friday and well received by fans of the British superagent saga. The release takes place a month before the premiere of "Specter", again with Daniel Craig as agent 007. In the UK and Ireland, the film goes live on October 26 and the rest of the world on November 6.

Smith is the first British male soloist to play the main theme of James Bond since Tom Jones sang "Thunderball" in 1965. "The pressure to make a song for James Bond is very intense, " Smith told The Sun.

Ajay Chowdhury of the James Bond International Fan Club approved the composition, stating that it "automatically gained the status of a classic Bond theme." "There are three types of Bond songs: the grandiloquent, grandiose, exemplified by Shirley Bassey's" Goldfinger, "the dark, melancholy, sorry ballad of Nancy Sinatra's" You Only Live Twice, "and the" rock heroic anthem. " Paul McCartney's Live And Let Die ', "he explained.

"Sam Smith's song belongs to the second category, " he said.
