The 22nd theme song for the 22nd James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, won’t be like all the others. Sure, the title still mentions dying, and it’ll probably play over the opening credits like all the others, but this one will be special. It will be the franchise’s first duet.

Jack White and Alicia Keys have teamed up to record “Another Way to Die," which White wrote, produced and played drums on. It will be featured in Quantum, out in November, and on the film's soundtrack, out via J Records in late October.

British actor Daniel Craig stars in Quantum, his second turn as the tuxedo-wearing, gun-toting secret agent. His first Bond appearance was in 2006’s Casino Royale, which featured the theme “You Know My Name,” by rocker Chris Cornell.

Wow, I've been hoping for this news for a while. After Winehouse was ousted from the job, the names that have been thrown around have all been sub par to say the least. A TV pop show sensation such as Leonna Lewis has no business belting out the theme to a James Bond movie. Neither do Duffy, Grace Jones or any of the other names tossed around. However, Alicia Keys, now there's someone who is going to do great things. And it's a duet? I can just picture it now!
