Sam Smith really soars in this superb new video released today of ‘Writing On The Wall’ his theme song for ‘Spectre’ the new Bond movie, that he co-wrote with fellow Grammy Award Winner Jimmy Napes. The video directed by long-term collaborator Luke Monaghan weaves in scenes from the eagerly awaited movie with Daniel Craig back again as 007 and this time he is making out with Lucia (played by Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal.
‘Writing On The Wall’ is the first James Bond theme song recorded by a British male solo artist since 1965, and the very first ever by an openly gay musician. After premiering on September 25 worldwide, it rocketed to the top of the charts and made chart history by becoming the first Bond theme song ever to score a UK No. 1. Even Dame Shirley Bassey never achieved that, but we know that she would be so proud of ‘our Sam’ |
