I call BS on this.
If EON had decided who was to write the song, or perform it, they would have done some form of PR for it, as is their custom.

I guess it will be a new Adele song - and it will be revealed as part of her next album coming next fall. That´s why they keep quiet for now.

This is the problem with modern journalism. It's not journalism, it's taking comments and rumors and reporting them like they're true.
True journalism is you research the facts. If it's backed up by the paper trail or is corroborated, you report it as fact. If it isn't, you report it as, "so-and-so says, ..."
This is unknown to the army of amateur "journalists" on the blogosphere.
In short, no Sam Smith has not been "announced" or confirmed as approached. That's not to say he hasn't been, but at this time the status of that "fact" is "rumor".
And people make mistakes. Sometimes people misunderstand or mishear the question. Sometimes they speak from guesses, assumptions or, "I think I heard that...". Sometimes, they just fuddle their words and say "song" when they mean "script" or whatever. Sometimes, they're playing games with us. Sometimes, we the audience misinterpret.
In short, I don't doubt what Ben Wishaw said, but this is not a fact till its a fact by journalism standards, i.e. confirmed.
I would be stupefied if the song had already been recorded.
Cheers

I thought it had already been revealed that Sam Smith has been approached to record it.
i was gonna post exactly that because we had yet another thread on it.
then i found yet another thread saying Smith denies bond rumour.
with a year to go i think we need a thread that just says: Spectre Bond song!! - which could encompass rumours, announcements, denials, speculation, who could have done it better, how does the new one compare to the last one etc etc etc

Excellent post Stephen, and by coincidence I was just watching the excellent show The Newsroom which was dealing with that issue...
