So, I know you’re distraught about that new Jack White/Alicia Keys monstrosity of awfulness disguised as a James Bond theme, and who can blame you?
Luckily, Duffy’s stepped in and, just in time for the release of the awkwardly-titled Quantum of Solace, put out a vaguely menacing, string-filled number that just sort of screams “Do me now, Daniel Craig, or the world gets it!”
I know a lot of people really can’t stand Duffy, and I admit that positioning oneself as the wholesome Amy Winehouse probably isn’t a very good way to avoid scorn. But I liked Mercy (though mainly for the rappy bit in the middle), and I like Rain On Your Parade even more. (I wasn’t so into the in-between singles, but hey, whatever.)
Anyway, the video’s here, in all its unembeddable glory.
