Composer: Thomas Newman

The Spectre soundtrack, composed by Thomas Newman for Sam Mendes’ 2015 James Bond film starring Daniel Craig, continues the dark, brooding sonic world first established in Skyfall. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Newman’s score weaves suspenseful motifs with sweeping orchestrations, underscoring sequences in Mexico City’s Day of the Dead parade, Rome car chases with the Aston Martin DB10, and the showdown with Christoph Waltz’s Ernst Stavro Blofeld. The soundtrack also features Sam Smith’s Oscar-winning title song “Writing’s on the Wall,” which joined the legacy of Bond themes by Shirley Bassey, Paul McCartney, Duran Duran, Adele, and Billie Eilish.

Released on Decca Records, the album highlights Newman’s blend of electronic textures and orchestral power, sitting in contrast to the earlier work of David Arnold and the classic John Barry scores. Alongside cinematography by Hoyte van Hoytema and production design by Dennis Gassner, the Spectre soundtrack helped solidify the film’s place in the James Bond canon, bridging tradition and modernity in one of cinema’s most enduring franchises.
