British singer-songwriter Sam Smith has written the theme for the new James Bond movie, Spectre, NME reports. Smith's Bond track will be released tomorrow.
Smith said on BBC's Radio 1 this morning that he wrote the James Bond theme in just 20 minutes. "I got called into the office with Barbara Broccoli and Sam Mendes and they gave me the script, I read the script... they said 'have a go at the song,'" Smith said, according to NME. "It's the quickest I've ever written a song — it took 20 minutes... and they loved it! I love the song so much."
