A while back Filmazing reported that Jack White of the The White Stripes and Alicia Keys were both being considered to sing the new Bond theme for the latest 007 installment Quantum of Solace. Well, the producers have finally made their choice, and it looks like both White and Keys will sing together — the first duet in Bond history. 

Both White and Keys are multi-Grammy Award-winning and platinum selling recording artists. Their song, written and produced by Jack White, is titled "Another Way to Die." Jack White also drums on the track. The soundtrack to Quantum of Solace will be released by J Records on October 28, 2008.

One of the most enigmatic figures in music, White formed The White Stripes with his big sister Meg in 1997. A love of early delta blues inspired him to take a minimalist approach to the music, one which included a simple drumming style by Meg as well as a red, white and black color scheme for everything from their stage clothing to their record sleeves.

As lead singer, guitarist and songwriter, Jack has steered the duo to worldwide success. The White Stripes have released 6 critically acclaimed albums and picked up 5 Grammy Awards, including 3 for "Best Alternative Album": Elephant (2004), Get Behind Me Satan (2006) & Icky Thump (2008). Their hit singles include "Fell In Love with A Girl" (2001), "Seven Nation Army" (2003), and "Icky Thump" (2007).

In 2005, White formed a second band, The Raconteurs, with Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler. Described as "a new band of old friends," The Raconteurs first single, "Steady, As She Goes" was an immediate success and their debut album, Broken Boy Soldiers, went on to debut at #7 in the Billboard Album Charts and was nominated for 2 Grammy Awards.

White has appeared in a handful of movie roles, including the Academy Award winning 2003 film Cold Mountain. Director Anthony Minghella cast White as Georgia Thewes on the advice of musical director T Bone Burnett. White's role was a musical one and he performed several of the movie's Appalachian songs. In the same year, both members of The White Stripes appeared in director Jim Jarmusch's Coffee & Cigarettes. In 2007, White made a cameo as Elvis Presley in the Judd Apatow produced comedy, Walk Hard, and in 2008, he performed on stage in New York City with The Rolling Stones for a scene in Martin Scorceses' documentary, Shine A Light. White, along with Jimmy Page and The Edge, are featured in Davis Guggenheim's forthcoming electric guitar documentary, It Might Get Loud, to be theatrically released later this year.

Keys burst onto the scene in 2001 with her debut album, Songs In A Minor, on Clive Davis' J Records. The album debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 Chart, selling over 235,000 copies in its first week, and went on to sell more than 10 million units worldwide. The Diary of Alicia Keys, was released in December 2003 and sold over 618,000 copies during its first week of release in the United States. The album is currently seven times platinum.

Her third studio album, As I Am, marked a milestone recording in the young entertainer's career with over 742,000 units sold during its first week of release. In addition, As I Am marks Alicia's fourth #1 debut on the Billboard Top 200 chart and her biggest sales week to date.The album featured the hit single "No One," which won two Grammy Awards in 2008 for Best R&B Song and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. More than 5 million copies of As I Am sold worldwide.
