What does James Bond sound like in 2020? Judging by “No Time to Die,” Billie Eilish’s new theme song for the 25th Bond film, he’s a little exhausted. And doesn’t that make a strange kind of sense? How does a martini-swilling, womanizing International Man of Mystery come out unscathed by a world that has, essentially, outgrown him? He can’t be a woman – but he can channel his world-weariness through the world’s most weary teen. “No Time to Die,” which shares a title with the upcoming film, lacks the bombast and brass of many previous Bond themes, but it does capture something essential about the character: a roving secret agent who has no time for love, no time for lies and certainly no time to die.
