It’s okay. My biggest complaint is it felt like it was building up to a crescendo that didn’t really happen. It got heavier, but it really didn’t hit the extra gear I was expecting. It’s definitely got some classic Bond vibes to it, but just doesn’t really do it for me.

I had my doubts about her, but she's delivered. That's an outstanding Bond theme.

I like it a lot, and Billie is usually hit or miss for me. This is literally the only thing I've ever heard by her, and it's not bad. I appreciate some of the classic Bond motifs in the music. I know her from her NXTloud theme. This is definitely more restrained...but I think it works for what has been presented in the trailers, something soft and a bit personal, they must really be trying to flesh out an unremarkable love story in Bond/Swann this time around.

Just listened to it and it’s great thankfully. Billie’s Album was my favourite from last year so I might be a bit biased but I really liked this.

I’ll wait to listen to it when I see the movie. I have no desire to listen to her otherwise.

It’s an alright Bond theme. If it had a more powerful rush of energy and percussion in the finale it’d potentially be a top tier one, but as it is it’s just there. That is within Billie’s brand to be more unexpected in how she concludes her pieces, but I was hoping for something bombastic like Adele’s Skyfall or Live and Let Die, just let the band do its thing. Or on Writings On The Wall, Sam Smith has a strong voice but they still have their instrumental on point.
I’d kinda like to hear Frank Ocean, maybe Florence + The Machine or The Weeknd to do 007 songs one day. Muse has a bunch of potential ones in their songbook already.

It is a very somber theme for a Bond movie which is not terrible as the movie seems to going down a similar route but it lacks that real kind of moment in most Bond songs which it picks up the beat and either it becomes heavier or it really becomes catchy.
To me it is a lesser version of The World is not enough both sort of somber but Shirley gets moments to really belt out her voice where as Billie doesn't pick up but just stays the same.

Would it have been too much to have Adele sing the theme again? "Skyfall" is still an amazing song.

Listening to that made me nostalgic for college when they'd play Skyfall every day in the student lounge lol.

I suppose the success rate of these kind of themes for Craig's era (two oscar wins) is why they keep going back to them, but I really hope they switch the style up when Craig's successor takes over

Good song, meh Bond theme. Vocals are fine, but it needed more OOMPH with the actual music.

One of the dullest Bond songs I have heard in a while, it's about as interesting as the one from Quantum of Solace.

It'll be louder and faster in the film.

Nearly three hours because we're not allowed to have a comfortable 2 any more.

Well, that's a "wait for Netflix" for me then.
