				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/lewis-capaldi-wants-to-do-the-next-james-bond-theme-song-2610650">Lewis Capaldi has revealed his interest in writing the next James Bond theme.</a> His statement comes after discussing <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/billie-eilish-bond-theme-for-no-time-to-die-released/">the release of Eilish&#8217;s theme for the upcoming Bond film, <em>No Time to Die</em>.</a></p>
<p>Speaking to <a href="https://metro.co.uk/2020/02/17/lewis-capaldi-wants-cut-billie-eilishs-royalties-james-bond-theme-12251840/">Metro UK</a>, Capaldi quipped about taking a cut of the royalties from Eilish&#8217;s song. The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jtauh8GcxBY"><em>&#8216;Before You Go&#8217;</em></a> vocalist said: <em>&#8220;She’s probably going to make a lot of money from it so I’d love to take a cut of that,&#8221;</em> Lewis said.</p>
<p>He added: <em>&#8220;All jokes aside, I think in general I always say that the Bond theme is something that I think anybody would jump at the chance of, (or) at least try.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The Glaswegian singer and comedian offered to put his name into the hat for the next Bond theme. However, he joked that it&#8217;d be on the basis he wasn&#8217;t <em>“completely irrelevant”</em> by that point.</p>
<p>If Capaldi did, he&#8217;d be writing for film 26 in the long-running spy franchise. Check out the official theme from Billie Eilish via Youtube below.</p>

<p>Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas collaborated with acclaimed film composer Hans Zimmer, penning the song in only three days and recording it on a bunk bed in Texas.</p>
<p>Furthermore, at the age of eighteen, Billie&#8217;s the youngest artist in history to perform a Bond theme.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, Lewis Capaldi is set to support headlining act Tyler The Creator at Manchester&#8217;s Parklife 2020, the UK’s largest metropolitan festival.</p>
<p>Further support comes from Skepta. JME will be <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/jme-grime-mc-fm-parklife-and-lovebox-festivals-2599880">bringing his Grime MC FM project to Manchester.</a></p>
<p>Other acts billed include Robyn, Jorja Smith, Giggs, Fatboy Slim, Khalid, and AJ Tracey. The festival will run from June 14-15, celebrating its eleventh year.</p>
<p><a href="https://parklife.uk.com/">Tickets are on sale now.</a> <em>No Time To Die</em> will serve as Daniel Craig&#8217;s final appearance in the role of the infamous 007, set for release in cinemas on April 2 in the UK, and April 8 in the US.</p>

This will make Eilish the youngest artist ever to record a theme for the series.</p>
<p>She shared a post on Twitter, along with the series logo through her Instagram. Performed by Billie, the unnamed track will be co-written with her brother, FINNAES.</p>
<p>The <em>&#8216;Bury A Friend&#8217;</em> singer said: <em>“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 honour. James Bond is the coolest film franchise ever to exist. I’m still in shock”.</em></p>

<p>Her brother FINNAES, further said: <em>“Writing the theme song for a Bond film is something we’ve been dreaming about doing our entire lives. There is no more iconic pairing of music and cinema than the likes of Goldfinger and Live And Let Die.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>He added: <em>&#8220;We feel so so lucky to play a small role in such a legendary franchise, long live 007.”</em></p>
<p>James Bond producers Michael G.Wilson and Barbara Broccoli gave their thoughts to the decision: <em>“We are excited to announce that Billie and FINNEAS have written an incredibly powerful and moving song for No Time To Die, which has been impeccably crafted to work within the emotional story of the film.”</em></p>
