Looks Like Sam Smith Is Singing The James Bond Spectre Theme Song

With the release of the new James Bond movie, Spectre, only a couple of months away, speculation as to who might be singing the new theme song is rising -- which makes a nice break from the frequently controversial debates over who the next 007 could/should be. Candidates include Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Ed Sheeran (ugh), and a returning Adele, but the smart money seems to be on chart-topping pop balladeer Sam Smith. Although he's repeatedly denied rumors of his involvement -- just this week, he told BBC Radio 2 "That's definitely not me" -- he's now dropped a pretty major hint that it is in fact him. Today, the singer tweeted and Instagrammed a black-and-white photo of his hand, identified by the tattoo, wearing a ring emblazoned with the octopus symbol for SPECTRE, the long-running Bond crime syndicate set to make its first appearance in the modern films with Spectre. Check it out below.
