In 5th place, with 10pts, it's
with Shades Of Cool by Lana Del Rey
They said: Tell me that intro isn't Bondy! Lana can be hit and miss but when she gets it right, I genuinely think she's one of the finest artists around at the moment. I must admit I've never actually seen a Bond movie, but I can definitely imagine this playing over the credits of one. I was tempted to go with something by Portishead here....but that would have been far too much a case of low-hanging fruit for you!
I said:
Newness: 3/5
Fit: 10/10
Song: 8/10
Total EN Score: 84%
Newness comment: Don't know the song, but obviously know LDR
Fit comment: Ah yeah, from the moment is starts. It's slow and sad, it's Daniel Craig not Pierce Brosnan, but this is a Bond theme through and through
Song comment: This was a really pleasant surprise. I know Lana Del Rey's early singles and kind of liked them, listened to a few other songs of hers and nothing really grabbed me but this is really good. Thanks for getting in onto my radar, really enjoying it.
