Spectre: Sam Smith Reveals He's Singing The New James Bond Title Song

British soul singer Sam Smith ("Like I Can," "Lay Me Down") has tweeted an image that reveals he is performing the theme song to the upcoming James Bond film, Spectre.

The image shows Smith wearing a ring with the Spectre logo on it. Smith has been considered the frontrunner for the gig for close to a year, but the award-winning musician tried to throw people off his scent by claiming Bond producers never approached him and that he had heard through the grapevine that Ellie Goulding was the top pick.

Either way, Smith will have a hard time one-upping Adele's Skyfall theme song, which won her an Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Check out Smith's tweet below.

A cryptic message from the past sends James Bond on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal. Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organisation known as Spectre. Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond's actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of Spectre. As the daughter of an assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot. As Bond ventures towards the heart of Spectre, he learns of a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks, played by Christoph Waltz.

SPECTRE will be released in the UK on October 26, and in the US on November 6, 2015.
