Lana Del Rey to record Bond theme?

Singer Lana Del Rey is reportedly in talks to record the next James Bond theme.
The 29-year-old 'Young and Beautiful' singer will face stiff competition for the coveted job from British singer Sam Smith, reported Metro online.
"Producers know it has to be a great song with a killer vocal to rival the phenomenal success of Adele's 'Skyfall'. Sam seems like the favourite but Lana could definitely give him a run for his money," a source said.
