专辑介绍
&Die Another Day& is the theme to the James Bond film of the same name by American singer-songwriter Madonna. The single was released on October 22, 2002 by Maverick Records and was later included on her ninth studio album, American Life (2003), and her greatest hits compilation, Celebration (2009). Following the commercial disappointment of the previous Bond single, MGM wanted a high-profile artist for the soundtrack single of Die Another Day and Madonna was their choice. She wrote the song with producer Mirwais Ahmadzaï while French composer Michel Colombier was enlisted for the strings sections.
The track went through various interpolations, and after Madonna saw the initial version of the film she adapted the song to its theme, described as a metaphor for destroying one's ego. The team tried to under-produce the song to make it sound rough. Ahmadzaï re-arranged the track at his home in Paris while Colombier finished the string sections in Los Angeles. An electroclash nummber, &Die Another Day& is a mixture of strings and interpolating electronic swirls, and stuttered editing on Madonna's voice, cutting the main signal on the chorus.
&Die Another Day& received mixed responses from music critics, with one group of reviewers favored its departure from traditional Bond soundtracks, while others panned its production and called it uninteresting. It was nominated for a Golden Globe award in the category of Best Original Song and for a Grammy Award in the categories of Best Dance Recording and Best Short Form Music Video. The song was a commercial success, peaking at number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was the top selling dance song in the US for both 2002 and 2003. &Die Another Day& reached the top of the charts in Canada, Italy, Romania and Spain and the top-ten of a number of countries worldwide.
The music video was directed by Swedish directing team, and was developed as an independent video, although had James Bond influences. It depicts Madonna as a prisoner in a torture chamber and fencing duel between good (clad in white) and evil (clad in black) personas of the singer. Wounds inflicted on both fencers are mirrored on the imprisoned Madonna, and in the end she escapes being electrocuted in the chamber. The usage of Jewish religious texts and objects in the music video led to controversy, with Judaism scholars receiving it negatively. Madonna has included the song on two of her world tours; the first being the 2004 Re-Invention World Tour and again as a video interlude on the 2008–09 Sticky & Sweet Tour. It was also performed at Paris' L'Olympia venue on a single date of the 2012 The MDNA Tour.
