Marr was also full of praise for the “fantastic” Billie Eilish with whoM he worked on the No Time To Die soundtrack with.
“When I heard the song, I thought ‘this is fantastic’. It’s very brave, being very minimalist. It’s her sound, and then the trick was to Bond-ify it”, he said.
The arrival of this film has also undoubtedly provided a huge boost for an industry which has suffered hugely since the pandemic began.
