'James Bond' theme song duo could hook up again

Alicia Keys has said she wants Jack White to play on her next album.

The pair have linked up for new song 'Another Way To Die', the theme from the forthcoming 'James Bond' film 'Quantum Of Solace'.

Keys told Rolling Stone that the collaboration went so well she was looking to extend it.

"I would love to rock with him on my next album," she explained.

Jack White also spoke to the magazine about 'Another Way To Die'.

"I didn't want to imitate anything or be retro," he said. "It just had to feel like Bond. You're definitely taking on a responsibility [writing a Bond theme song] — there's a tradition of powerful music in all these films. But that's why I'm involved creatively with music — for challenges like this. That's what I live for."
