    It’s a list that just keeps on growing, but today yet another singer has been rumoured for the Quantum of Solace title tune.

    Entertainment Online claims that R&B and soul singer Alicia Keys is the top contender for the 22nd James Bond film.

    While no official announcement has yet come from Eon Productions, a source for the site stated ‘I believe Alicia is the winner’.

    The multi-Grammy winning Keys joins numerous others rumoured for the job, including Amy Winehouse, Beyoncé, Leona Lewis, Jack White, Duffy and, most recently, Duran Duran and Annie Lennox.

    A representative for Keys declined to comment on the report, while a Quantum of Solace rep stated there was currently ‘no info’ available regarding the title song.

    In comparing to 2006’s Casino Royale, Chris Cornell was offcially confirmed in late July of that year.
