White Stripes and Raconteurs main man Jack White has spoken out over his shock collaboration with Alicia Keys on "Another Way To Die" - the theme song to the new James Bond film.

The Detroit musician wrote, produced and sang on the track, and has revealed that it has been an ambition to work with Alicia Keys for some time. After a couple of years of wanting to collaborate with Alicia Keys, it took James Bond himself to finally make it happen," White said in a statement. "Alicia put some electric energy into her breath that cemented itself into the magnetic tape. Very inspiring to watch."

The new track can boast an appearance from the legendary Memphis Horns, with the song being the first duet in the history of the Bond films. Jack White is obviously excited about "Another Way To Die", saying that "it might be the first analogue Bond theme in 20 years. We wanted to push soul into those tapes, and join the family of Barry, Bassey, Connery and Craig".

The James Bond film "Quantum Of Solace" is due to be released in November.
