The Single: Another Way To Die
The Artist: Alicia Keys & Jack White
I like this song because it's like a James Bond song thrown into a blender. All of the components of a Bond theme are there: big name celebrities, massive horns, silly lyrics. Yet there's something about this song that's slightly off. Maybe it's the fractured piano trying to tinker out the famous James Bond theme, maybe it's the way Keys croons over White's manic's guitar solos. I know the frantic percussion helps makes this feel like no other song which has come along in the Bond franchise... and that makes it interesting and crazy and a whirlwind of interesting.

Normally I don't mind off pitch singers, but when those two sing together, the clashing is just a little too much. Also, that chorus? I feel like I've heard it a thousand times with better lyrics.
