Jack White has discussed the song 'Another Way To Die', which he recorded with singer Alicia Keys for the forthcoming James Bond movie 'Quantum Of Solace', which is released in October.
"After a couple of years of wanting to collaborate with Alicia Keys, it took James Bond himself to finally make it happen." The White Stripes songwriter says in a statement. "Alicia put some electric energy into her breath that cemented itself into the magnetic tape. Very inspiring to watch."
"I drummed for her voice and she mimicked the guitar tones, then we joined our voices and screamed and moaned about these characters in the film and their isolation, having no-one to trust, not even themselves. Maybe we became them for a few minutes."
Jack also added he was inspired by the retro recordings of previous Bond themes: "It might be the first analogue Bond theme in 20 years. We wanted to push soul into those tapes and join the family of Barry, Bassey, Connery and Craig."
