Billie Eilish To Sing Theme Song For New James Bond Film 'No Time To Die'

David Moye

Billie Eilish might seem to have no time on her hands, but she does have “No Time To Die.”

The multi-Grammy nominee announced on Tuesday that she and her older brother, the producer Finneas, have written and recorded the theme song for “No Time To Die,” the upcoming James Bond film.

With that, Eilish, who turned 18 last month, has become the youngest artist in history to write and record a theme song for the long-running Bond film series, according to the official James Bond Twitter account.

Eilish said she’s very happy to join a musical pantheon of luminaries who’ve recorded Bond songs for previous movies, including Paul McCartney, Tom Jones, Duran Duran, Madonna and Sheryl Crow. The last two Bond themes, Adele’s “Skyfall” and Sam Smith’s “Writing’s On The Wall” from “Spectre,” both won Oscars for Best Original Song.

“It feels crazy to be a part of this in every way. To be able to score the theme song to a film that is part of such a legendary series is a huge honor,” Eilish said in a quote shared by the James Bond Twitter account. “James Bond is the coolest film franchise ever to exist. I’m still in shock.”

Finneas, who helped his sister create the Grammy-nominated album “When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” said “writing the theme song for a Bond film is something we’ve been dreaming about doing our entire lives.”

He added:

“There is no more iconic pairing of music and cinema than the likes of ′Goldfinger’ and ′Live And Let Die.′ We feel so so lucky to play a small role in such a legendary franchise, long live 007.”

Of course, people had strong reactions to the selection. Some figured Eilish could just adapt her big hit, “Bad Guy.”

Others wished someone else had been picked.

Eilish fans suggested everyone should give her a chance.

Until now, Sheena Easton was the youngest artist to sing over a Bond movie’s opening credits, according to the BBC. The Scottish singer was 22 when she recorded “For Your Eyes Only” in 1981.

“No Time To Die,” which stars Daniel Craig, Rami Malek and Lashana Lynch, will be released April 10 in the U.S.

Casino Royale

They're both striking, but the Amazon cover looks a little too much like a dartboard, rather than a gambling chip. The drop of blood falling from Vintage's heart wins me over. <strong>Vintage 1:0 Amazon</strong>

Both have gone for a watery motif, but Vintage's pendula seem more like gymnastic rings than anything else. Amazon's subtle ripples work better for me. <strong>Vintage 1:1 Amazon</strong>

Nice colors on the Vintage cover, but that bomb looks far too much like a suit tie. Amazon's menacing, shadowy tower takes this round. <strong>Vintage 1:2 Amazon</strong>

The Spy Who Loved Me

Cool flames from Amazon, but they look a little too much like a corporate symbol. The typography combined with the bullethole 'o's make this one of the best in Vintage's series. <strong>Vintage 2:2 Amazon</strong>

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

I'm not entirely sure what Amazon's cover is supposed to represent. A flag? A net? An optical illusion? Vintage goes classic, and despite the unnecessary triangles, it remains as cheesily appropriate as <em>The Spy Who Loved Me</em>'s<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvv2lv2s_gM" target="_hplink"> Union Jack parachute</a>. God Save Our Gracious Queen... <strong>Vintage 3:2 Amazon</strong>

Octopussy and The Living Daylights

This double bill gives designers two choices: focus on one or showcase both? Vintage chose the latter route, Amazon the former, and the Seattle giant's choice is vindicated with some truly magnificent tentacles, reaching out to grab the red circle that appears on all of their covers. Vintage's cover has a little too much going on, and the word Daylights doesn't really lend itself to being used as a rifle. Halfway through, the scores are level. <strong>Vintage 3:3 Amazon</strong>

Moonraker

Amazon has chosen a target with orbits around the bullseye. Vintage goes for a more classic, almost <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/42/Tintin_cover_-_Destination_Moon.jpg" target="_hplink">Tintin-esque</a> creation. The subtle white O in the title proves the clincher. <strong>Vintage 4:3 Amazon</strong>

Live and Let Die

Voodoo and Jamaica feature heavily in this book, and there's a nod to the movie version in the shadowy top hat in Vintage's cover. I'm not really sure what Amazon's represents. Waves? Parentheses? Upside-down seagulls? Vintage's handdrawn typography against the green background looks fantastic. Another win for the Brits. <strong>Vintage 5:3 Amazon</strong>

From Russia With Love

A bullet or a pencil, Vintage? Either way, despite some slightly off typography, Amazon's beautiful penmanship wins the day. <strong>Vintage 5:4 Amazon</strong>

Goldfinger

Piano keys? Bars in a prison cell? Not sure what Amazon was going for here, but it doesn't really matter, as Vintage's <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/14/saul-bass-movie-poster-design_n_1010658.html" target="_hplink">Saul Bass-tinged </a>creation is a classic piece of design. <strong>Vintage 6:5 Amazon</strong>

Diamonds Are Forever

They're both pretty good. Vintage has squeezed a diamond into the typography and put a target to its heart. Amazon has a repetitive pattern that is distinctive and clear. In the end, I think the decider is the Raymond Chandler quote. A classic author he may be, but a three-line quote that forces the eye to stop and read for too long. 40 words? That's a not a cover quote, that's a blurb. Half a point to Vintage confirms them the winner, but both series have their moments. <strong>Vintage 7.5:5 Amazon</strong>
