On Feb. 13, Billie Eilish released “No Time to Die,” the theme music to the upcoming James Bond movie of the same name. But that’s because, with this release, Eilish has subverted the standard creation formula for a Bond theme, in the same way she subverted the conventions of popular music on When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? After all, it is grandiosity and the maximalist ethos that characterizes the James Bond series as a whole, as well as the songs that come packaged with it. James Bond is an absurdly handsome, charismatic and invincible secret agent whose sexual history includes nearly exclusively women assigned to murder him. Maybe James Bond is getting more serious, changing for a modern society.
