This might just be the best James Bond theme song ever written. I liked Adele’s Skyfall, too, but this composition is more versatile and Sam Smith’s falsetto is just unbelievable. The orchestral arrangement – the horns and the strings make this a really sweet piece of music. The video suits the song perfectly.

Bomb track: Man Without Country – Laws of Motion feat. White Sea
I was listening to XPLAIN’s wonderful music, and found Man Without Country through her Facebook page. I had heard many of MWC’s remixes before (Miike Snow and Moby to name a few), but hadn’t realized that Man Without Country is much more than just a remix team. They’re great songwriters too. Today I listened to Man Without Country’s song called “Laws of Motion” and I was blown away. What a melody, and timeless sense of beauty. I strongly recommend getting to know this band. There’s a certain 80’s appreciation in their sound selection, but mostly they sound very contemporary. Seems like I’ll be spending the next few days listening to Man Without Country.
