An insider recently spoke to the 62-year-old producer: “Barbara is very interested in the next Bond theme being more fun, more pop rock and not being filled with as much sadness as the last few themes have been. “

The source also revealed that Barbara “loves” the work of Oscar-winning sensations like Billie Eilish, Sam Smith and Adele who made history with their iconic contribution to 007 tunes.
