(andPOP) - Alicia Keys and Jack White have teamed up to record the theme song to "Quantum of Solace," making it the first duet in Bond soundtrack history.
The song, titled "Another Way To Die," was written and produced by White, who also plays drums on the track, Columbia Pictures said in a statement Tuesday.
The announcement puts to rest questions surrounding who would record the latest Bond theme, with rumoured contenders having included Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis and Duffy.
Coincidentally, Keys and White have both appeared in movies -- the R&B songstress's acting credits include "Smokin' Aces" and "The Nanny Diaries," and the White Stripes/Raconteurs frontman had a part in "Cold Mountain."
Their new song will join the list of such past Bond themes as Shirley Bassey’s "Goldfinger," Duran Duran’s "A View To A Kill," Paul McCartney’s "Live And Let Die" and Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name." Cornell's tune was featured in the most recently released Bond film, 2006's "Casino Royale."
The soundtrack to "Quantum of Solace" will be released Oct. 28, while the film itself -- the 22nd James Bond flick -- will hit North American theatres Nov. 7.
Daniel Craig reprises his starring role as Agent 007 in the Marc Forster-directed movie.
