The singer Lana Del Rey has registered a new song titled First Light with ASCAP, which has sparked speculation about her possible connection to the upcoming James Bond game, also titled 007 First Light, developed by IO Interactive. This registration is not necessarily conclusive proof that the artist is preparing a theme for the video game, especially considering that Del Rey has a new album on the way. However, many believe that her style could fit perfectly with the iconic musicality of Bond songs, evoking artists like Nancy Sinatra or Shirley Bassey.
It is not confirmed yet, but hints have been dropped
007 First Light is scheduled for release on March 27, 2024, and aims to provide an innovative combat experience that emphasizes the intensity of gunfights, unlike previous IO Interactive games where stealth was the norm. After watching 30 minutes of gameplay, it was highlighted that the new approach of the young and reckless James Bond, which incorporates mechanics like bullet time in the style of Max Payne, promises to be a unique and entertaining experience.
It is worth remembering that Del Rey had previously tried to offer a song for the movie Spectre, which was ultimately replaced by the well-known Writing’s On the Wall by Sam Smith. The song that the singer wrote was later released as 24. This adds an additional layer of interest to the possibility of her participating in the theme of the new game.
If a collaboration between Lana Del Rey and 007 First Light were to materialize, many envision a spectacular scene: the artist’s voice accompanying Bond as he jumps in a cinematic way, armed with his Walther PPK in slow motion. This fusion could result in a more immersive and memorable experience for fans of both franchises.
