Billie Eilish has unwrapped the video for ‘No Time To Die’ – the theme song for the James Bond film of the same name.

Directed by Daniel Kleinman, the visual sews together scenes of the singer with scenes  lifted from the hotly anticipated motion picture.

The song, which was released earlier this year ahead of what was meant to be the film’s Spring arrival, saw Eilish become the youngest musician ever to pen a Bond theme.

Speaking on the videos arrival, she beamed:

“It feels crazy to be a part of this in every way. To be able to score the theme song to a film that is part of such a legendary series is a huge honor.”

FINNEAS, her brother and creative partner, added

“Writing the theme song for a Bond film is something we’ve been dreaming about doing our entire lives. There is no more iconic pairing of music and cinema than the likes of Goldfinger and Live and Let Die. We feel so so lucky to play a small role in such a legendary franchise, long live 007.”

#BTSWeek continues at ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,’ much to the delight of the group’s dedicated fans.

Last night (September 29), the K-Pop septet rocked the late night talk show with a live performance of their global hit, ‘Home’ – the follow-up performance from Monday night’s (September 28) high octane live rendition of their 2018 Platinum hit, ‘Idol.’

For Wednesday’s performance (September 30), they’ve lifted a ‘Map of the Soul: 7’ fan favorite: ‘Black Swan.’

With his 17-track mixtape, ‘Daystar,’ on the fast track to next week’s top 10 (as we reported here), Tory Lanez is looking to improve his placement by releasing more material from the controversial set.

The latest tune from the effort to get the visual treatment is ‘Most High.’ 

In its Edgar Esteves-directed accompanying clip, the 28-year-old fields questions from a courtroom full of reporters after being found not guilty of a crime (a clear reference to his ongoing drama with Megan Thee Stallion).

“Soon as I get my masters back, they want chatter (Haha) / Now I’m independent, n*ggas won’t fend it (Facts) / White labels tryna turn my Black folk against me / Been sellin’ weed, that n*gga don’t affect me (Ha),” he raps on the high octane track.

It’s been over two months since Summer Walker nabbed her second top 10 placement on the Billboard 200 thanks to her latest EP, ‘Life on Earth’ (as we reported here), but she’s far from done with the project’s promo cycle.

Two weeks after taking to ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’ to give the live treatment to fan favorite ‘Body’ (found aboard her Platinum-selling debut album ‘Over It’), she’s returned focus to ‘Earth’ by showcasing her vocal prowess on its standout cut, ‘Let It Go.’

Did you miss the action when it originally aired Monday night (September 28) on ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’?

Alicia Keys may have watched her latest album, ‘ALICIA,’ soar to top 5 status on this week’s Billboard 200 after an aggressive promotional campaign in its support (as we reported here), but the 15-time GRAMMY winner is showing no signs of slowing down on the trail.

One of the latest bids to ensure its prolonged tenure on the chart comes courtesy of a behind the scenes look at the music video of the LP’s current single, ‘Love Looks Better.’

Two weeks after unveiling the song live at the 2020 NFL Kickoff Concert (as we reported here), Keys introduced its official accompanying clip steered by ‘Love & Basketball’ director Gina Prince-Bythewood. Now, as the tune and its attached visual continue to garner critical acclaim, the star has invited fans to take a peek at how the action came to be.
