Goldeneye

GoldenEye” is a hit James Bond theme performed by Tina Turner used for the 1995 film, GoldenEye. The song was written especially for Turner by Bono and The Edge of U2 when they learned that she had been offered to sing the theme to the upcoming Bond movie, and the track was produced and mixed by British producer/remixer/composer Nellee Hooper, best known for his work with Massive Attack, Madonna, U2 and Björk. The GoldenEye theme became one of the highest-charting hit singles of Turner’s career, reaching #10 on the UK Singles Chart and a Top 5 hit in most other European countries.

Ace of Base - "The Goldeneye" (Demo) 
Fresh from having international hits with All That She Wants and The Sign, Ace of Base were recruited to write and perform the theme for Pierce Brosnan’s first Bond film Goldeneye. Their record company Arista pulled them from the project after the track was complete, because of fears the film would flop. The opposite happened: not only was it a critical and commercial success, but it rebooted the career of Tina Turner. Seven years later, the band reworked the song, renamed it The Juvenile (video below), and released it on their 2002 album Da Capo.



American singer Nicole Scherzinger, former lead singer of pop group Pussycat Dolls, covered the single for the 2010 remake of the video game Goldeneye 007.
