Jack White and Alicia keys recently produced a really solid theme song for the upcoming 2008 James Bond film, Quantum of Solace. This song has White’s name written all over it, and it is really awesome. The fact that the White Stripes/Raconteurs member’s compositions are so minimalist, but still recognizable, goes to show just how talented of a musician he really is.

You may have heard part of “Another Way To Die” in instrumental form in a new coke zero ad. Apparently, White wasn’t thrilled that people first heard the song in a commercial. A statement from his management says:

“Jack White was commissioned by Sony Pictures to write a theme song for the James Bond film Quantum of Solace, not for Coca-Cola. Any other use of the song is based on decisions made by others, not by Jack White. We are disappointed that you first heard the song in a co-promotion for Coke Zero, rather than in its entirety.”

In other news, Coke Zero will become “Coke Zero Zero Seven” to promote the movie. Yum.
