Alicia Keys and Jack White chosen for 'Quantum of Solace' theme song

Alicia Keys and the White Stripes' Jack White have recorded the theme song to "Quantum of Solace," the 22nd James Bond film, which will be released worldwide in November, Columbia Pictures said Tuesday.

The song, "Another Way To Die," is the first duet in Bond soundtrack history, the studio said in a statement. White wrote and produced the song, and also played drums. The soundtrack to the movie will be released October 28 by Keys' J Records label.

"Quantum of Solace," starring Daniel Craig and directed by Marc Forster, will be released in North American theatres on November 7. Amy Winehouse and Leona Lewis had previously been rumoured as the vocalists for the latest Bond theme.

The theme for the previous Bond film, 2006's "Casino Royale," was sung and co-written by former Soundgarden/Audioslave vocalist Chris Cornell.
