Jack White And Alicia Keys Will Bond ... James Bond Billboard.com reports that Alicia Keys will sing on the Jack White written/produced/drummed theme song to the forthcoming 007 flick Quantum Of Solace (true) under the project moniker The White Keys (not true, but it should be).

Alicia Keys has been wanting to work with Jack White for quite a while and has been quite vocal about it. Jack White wrote Seven Nation Army as a Bond theme. The question is, can Jack replicate Seven Nation Army or because of Alicia Key's part, will it be more like In The Cold Cold Night?

-7 for drawing indirect comparisons between the white stripes and the black keys

This has potential to be very good. still think Amy Winehouse, as coked up as she is, would have been perfect for a bond song, but Alicia Keys + Jack White sounds good to me. In my opinion, Chris Cornell did one of the best bond songs ever with You know my name, hope these two can keep up the pace.

If it's following Jack White's current musical trend, it will be self indulgent and sound like shit.
