Amy Winehouse Battles ‘Quantum Of Solace’ Bond Theme By Jack White & Alicia Keys

Amy Winehouse may have had her theme tune for the next James Bond film, Quantum Of Solace, rejected recently in favour of a composition from The White Stripes Jack White and Alicia Keys, but she’s not going to take the matter lying down (in a gutter).
In fact, she’s so pissed at getting the cold shoulder that she’s threatening to release her single on the same day as theirs.
Amy Winehouse seemed to be a natural choice to record the official theme tune for Quantum Of Solace, with her being British, and Bond being a British spy, and the fact that on her day she can match any diva who has ever record a Bond theme song.
However, for reasons that are still unclear, but are thought to relate to the studio not wanting someone so heavily associated with drugs as part of the project, Jack White and Alicia Keys got the nod instead.
Now Winehouse has gone on the record (excuse the pun) to state that she is going to finish the song with her producer and friend Mark Ronson. New! Magazine also reveals how she may time the release just to prove they made the wrong decision.
I do think they could have waited a bit. If they want a worldwide hit, I have them all up here [pointing to her beehive].
“I guess they are going for clean-cut and boring. When I do release mine – and I am tempted to do it on the same day – this would be the bigger hit. If they change their minds, I’m waiting!
I can see why the movie studio decided against Winehouse, as Bond is now more associated with the clean cut image of a suave and sophisticated Daniel Craig, but Amy clearly wants to shove the rejection back down their throats.
Quantum Of Solace is out on October 31st in the UK, with the White and Keys theme tune to be released around the same time.
