It was less than a month ago when Billie Eilish dominated the 62nd GRAMMY Awards. Now she's back with a dose of much-anticipated new music. This week, the rapidly rising pop superstar released her new song "No Time To Die," the official theme song to the upcoming James Bond film of the same name. 

"No Time To Die," a slow-burning piano and orchestral ballad, features an all-star cast of producers and songwriters. Her brother and close collaborator, superproducer FINNEAS, produced the track, alongside Stephen Lipson. GRAMMY-winning film score composer Hans Zimmer and Matt Dunkley provided the track's cinematic orchestral arrangements. And in a surprise addition, guitar virtuoso and The Smiths founding member Johnny Marr adds his distinctive touch—listen for his trademark guitar jangle at the end of the track. 

Ahead of the film's release this April, she will perform the song live for the first time ever at The Brit Awards in London next week (Feb. 18), joined onstage by FINNEAS and special guests Zimmer and Marr. 

With "No Time To Die," Eilish is now officially the youngest artist to both write and record a James Bond theme song. She now joins fellow pop singers and stars like Sam Smith, Adele, Jack White and Alicia Keys, Madonna and many others who have written and performed official theme songs for the ongoing film franchise across its 25 installments.

No stranger to the film world, Eilish last week (Feb. 9) closed out the 2020 Oscars with a touching performance of The Beatles' "Yesterday" during the show's in memoriam section. 

"No Time To Die" follows a massive night for Eilish at the 62nd GRAMMY Awards last month, which saw her tie her brother FINNEAS for the most golden gramophones of the night, with five wins each. In another historic moment, Eilish became the youngest artist in GRAMMY history to win in all four major categories in the General Field, commonly known as the "Big Four." In addition to a Best New Artist win, she won Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for her 2019 debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? Album single "Bad Guy" won for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year. She also performed "When The Party's Over," a single off the album, alongside FINNEAS.

Her brother FINNEAS, who produced When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, shared in Eilish's wins for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year, both for "Bad Guy," and Album Of The Year. In addition, he won Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical for his work on the album as well as Producer Of The Year, Non-Classical.

Elton John and lyricist/songwriter Bernie Taupin have won Best Original Song for "(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again" at the 2020 Oscars.

Ahead of the win, John delivered an animated and soulful performance of the song live on the Oscar stage. 

Prior to the Academy Awards, "(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again" won Best Original Song at the Golden Globes and tied for Best Song at the Critics' Choice Awards earlier this year, among other awards and nominations. Rocketman was also nominated for Best Compilation Soundtrack For Visual Media at the 62nd GRAMMY Awards last month.

The award marks John's second Oscar for Best Original Song, following his win in 1995 for "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" from the 1994 Disney animated film The Lion King. This marks Taupin's first Oscar win.

John, a five-time GRAMMY winner, received his most recent GRAMMY nomination at the 53rd GRAMMY Awards, held in 2011, for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals for "If It Wasn't For Bad," a featured track off his 2010 collaborative album, The Union, with Leon Russell.

Janelle Monáe officially opened the 2020 Oscars today (Feb. 9) with a sparkling, dazzling performance.

She opened the show with a charming, quirky performance of "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" the opening theme song of the iconic children's TV series, "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood." Dressed as the titular Mister Rogers, red cardigan and all, Monáe tossed her hat to Tom Hanks, who this year was nominated for an Oscar in the Actor In A Supporting Role category for his portrayal of the show's creator, Fred Rogers, in the 2019 drama, A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood.

The eight-time GRAMMY nominee then jumped into an Oscars-centric version of her 2010 track "Come Alive (War Of The Roses)," featuring a surprise performance by Billy Porter as well as a crew of dancers, who were dressed in costumes that nodded to the many films nominated at this year's Oscars season as well as other breakout films of 2019, including Joker, Dolemite Is My Name, Midsommar and others. 

Toward the end of her performance, Monáe shouted out all the female directors and other minority actors and creatives who were largely shut out of the 2020 Oscars nominations.

"Tonight, we celebrate all the amazing talent in this room," she said. "We celebrate all the women who directed phenomenal films. And I'm so proud to stand here as a black, queer artist telling stories. Happy Black History Month."

Monáe last released her 2018 album, Dirty Computer, which was nominated for Album Of The Year and Best Music Video, for album track "PYNK," at the 61st GRAMMY Awards, held in 2019.
