Billie Eilish releases title song for a new James Bond movie

Billie Eilish (18) has put the title song of the new James Bond movie “No Time To Die” online. The eponymous song is a ballad with a classic 007 sound.

Prior to the presentation of the Oscars last Sunday, there was plenty of speculation that Eilish would play the song there. Instead, she sang the song Yesterday by The Beatles during the In Memoriam segment. Earlier this week it became clear that No TIme To Die would be released in the night from Thursday to Friday at 1 AM Dutch time.

At the age of 18, Eilish is the youngest artist ever to make a song for an 007 film. With this job she joins a list of big names, including Shirley Bassey, Paul McCartney, Tina Turner and Gladys Knight. The last two artists who released a Bondsong – Adele with Skyfall from the movie of the same name and Sam Smith with Writing’s On The Wall from Specter, won an Oscar for those contributions.
