Sam Smith records theme song for new James Bond film 'Spectre'

Sam Smith has announced that he will sing the theme to the forthcoming James Bond film, Spectre. The Grammy and Brit award-winning singer followed his cryptic Instagram hint on 6 September with confirmation of his new appointment. The image, which Smith tweeted and Instagrammed, didn't include any written caption, but one could take it as confirmation that he'll be singing the new film's theme song.

Like Adele before him, Smith was also selected to perform the 007 theme after winning Best New Artist, Song of the Year and Record of the Year at the Grammys. Smith will join Adele, Jack White and Alicia Keys, Chris Cornell, Madonna, Garbage, Sheryl Crow and Tina Turner in the club of Bond theme singers over the past two decades. Spectre will arrive in U.S. theaters on November 6th, but the theme is expected to be released well before that: HitFix reports that the track could arrive tomorrow, when pre-sale tickets go on sale.
