LOS ANGELES - Although there were rumors that Amy Winehouse was going to record the theme for the new James Bond film, it appears two Americans have beat her to the punch.

Alicia Keys and Jack White will record the theme for “Quantum of Solace,” Access Hollywood has learned.

The new track, called “Another Way To Die,” was written and produced by White, of bands The White Stripes and The Raconteurs. White also drums on the number.

It will be the first theme in James Bond history to feature a duet.

“Quantum of Solace” will hit theatres in November, but the soundtrack will be out Oct. 28.

Previous Bond themes included Shirley Bassey’s “Goldfinger,” Duran Duran’s “A View To A Kill” and Paul McCartney’s “Live And Let Die.”

In addition to being musicians, Keys and White are both big-screen veterans.

Keys previously starred in 2006’s “Smokin’ Aces,” while White had a part in 2003’s “Cold Mountain,” alongside then-girlfriend Renee Zellweger.
