Snippet of Sam Smith’s Bond theme shared

A snippet of Sam Smith’s Bond theme has been shared online, ahead of its reveal - and release - on Friday.

The track, previously one of the worst-kept secrets in pop, despite Smith’s repeated insistence he wasn’t partaking in the whole charade or anything, is titled ‘Writing’s on the Wall’, and accompanies film Spectre, which hits cinema screens from 26th October.

The snippet doesn’t feature any vocals - in fact, it’s just some sweeping strings of the kind that scream “007!”, so there’s little indication of what the track may sound like, except that it’s gonna sound like a Bond theme (duh).
