Sam Smith has tweeted out a hint that he will be singing and performing the theme song to the newest James Bond film Spectre. His ring features the octopus logo that is the symbol for the fictional criminal syndicate and terrorist organization of the same name as the movie. It has long been rumored that the British crooner would be following in Adele’s footsteps.
UPDATE: It’s official, Sam Smith will be singing “Writing’s On The Wall”, produced by Jimmy Napes with additional production from Disclosure.
Albert R. Broccoli’s EON Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, and Sony Pictures Entertainment today confirmed that Sam Smith has recorded “Writing’s On The Wall,” the theme song to SPECTRE, the 24th James Bond adventure. SPECTRE will be released in the UK on October 26 and in the US on November 6. The song, released by Capitol Records, will debut and be available to purchase and stream on September 25.
Multi-platinum selling artist Sam Smith has co-written the title song, “Writing’s On The Wall,” with fellow GRAMMY® Award winner Jimmy Napes. It is the first James Bond theme song recorded by a British male solo artist since 1965. Smith’s debut album In The Lonely Hour launched at No. 1 in the UK and bowed in at No. 2 in the US, and has since earned five No.1 UK singles, four GRAMMY® Awards, three Brit Awards, six MOBO Awards, Q and AMA Awards.
