Songs of the year, number 21: Billie Eilish - No Time To Die


The unfortunately named 25th Bond film, No Time To Die, hasn't had much of a chance of a cinema life this year but its signature song has taken on a life of its own independent of the film. Which is something you could say of all the best Bond films but, given the kind of year 2020 has been, it's particularly impressive. Eilish provides a sophisticated slice of suitably brooding and atmospheric string infused minimalist pop that satisfies fans of her understated, slightly deadpan electro/acoustic pop as well as Bond song students. A perfect match.
