Yungblud has expressed his desire to collaborate with Oasis members Liam and Noel Gallagher on a James Bond theme song. This was revealed in an interview with Kerrang. Liam Gallagher has since responded to the collaboration proposal with his characteristic humor.
The British artist shared his enthusiasm for the potential collaboration. He emphasized the significance of recording a Bond theme song for any British musician.
“I would f*cking love to,” Yungblud said. “For any British artist, a Bond song is the goal and in the same league as headlining Glastonbury. I’d be down for a collaboration on a Bond song if Liam and Noel would f*cking have me.”
Liam Gallagher responded to the interview with a playful post on his X account. He suggested the collaboration is already in progress.
“It’s finished just waiting for Yungblud to finish his triangle solo,” Liam Gallagher said about the potential collaboration. “[Noel] has been teaching yungblud the parts for the triangle solo bits.”
This collaboration proposal comes at a significant time for both artists. Yungblud is riding high on the success of his latest work and Oasis is experiencing renewed attention.
Hungama Express reported that Yungblud just released his album Idols II and counts Oasis among his influences. The timing of his collaboration request aligns with his current promotional cycle and demonstrates his ambition to work with his musical heroes.
The Gallagher brothers have previously shown interest in Bond themes themselves. Female First noted that Noel Gallagher previously called doing a Bond theme “an absolute honour.” This indicates that the collaboration proposal might not be entirely far-fetched.
The exchange highlights the ongoing interest in cross-generational collaborations within British rock music. NME via RSSing revealed that this isn’t the first time Yungblud has expressed admiration for Oasis. He has consistently cited them as influences throughout his career.
The playful nature of Liam Gallagher’s response showcases the Manchester musician’s well-known sense of humor. His reference to teaching Yungblud “triangle solo bits” keeps the door open for potential future collaboration between the generations of British rock artists.
