I'm shocked and amazed that Jedi hasn't come in here raving about the song :p

You know he will come in when he finds it and will be like "OMGZ ALICIA KEYS IS AWESOME!" but its not a bad song, just putting it out there.

I wonder what the movie version will be like.

They really need to get back in the studio and fiddle with it (IMO) - there is a decent-ish tune in there somewhere but it's buried deep, The first 45 seconds are suitably Bond like but the vocals sound like they were recorded in a bathroom!

PS - Not sure what the hell is going on at around 2:45 but it doesn't sound like she was enjoying it much!!!

Listened to it a couple of times and it's definately growing on me. As others have said, i was dubious about "You Know My Name" but when I saw it put into Casino Royale with the intro titles, I absolutely loved it, and I think this song will be the same. :yes:

To all those that are hating the new theme song, i had the same inital reaction but you have to listen to it a few times before it grows on you. Also you havent seen the imagery so you have no idea how that ties in. Im expecting a lot from this.

Why? Because i had the same reaction when Daniel Craig was assigned to play the role of Bond. How would a blonde haired, blue eyed man possibly capture the role of Bond that Ian Flemming imagined? Despite almost every critic providing their negative responses, the directors stuck to their guns and it proved more than successfull. Craig was the Bond that no other Bond could achieve. He was more modern than any other Bond, yet he still had the classical side to him (shaken not stirred ;) ) Some say hes up at Sean Connery's level.

Anyways the directors obviously know what their doing and the proved it with Casino Royale. This next installment should deliver more than everyone's expectations.

Stay tuned :)

^ maybe so but....

different direction with man shooting film and man directing single for film. I'd wager the two aren't related save for film association. I could be wrong, though this is the worst bond single eva and I've heard em all.

Goldfinger for life!

      The site is pretty sparse on features / tech specs. Can I plug it into a PC/hone/Switch via USB-C and use it as an external display? If so, what's the virtual resolution of the screen, the refresh rate, PPI of the image etc? Is the text crisp enough to use for coding at say 12pt? Is it good enough for playing dark games, like say Path of Exile 2? How about fast games like car racing games? Just how do they expect anyone to order this thing without giving out all this info?
