British electronic band Goldfrapp are the hot favourites to record the new James Bond theme.

The group - famous for hits like 'Fly Me Away' and 'Ride A White Horse' - are reportedly in final negotiations to provide the title track for new 007 adventure 'Casino Royale', which stars Daniel Craig as the suave spy.

Singer Alison Goldfrapp and bandmate Will Gregory are said to be "thrilled" to be wanted to record the theme song.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Alison and Will are absolutely thrilled. Nothing has been signed yet, but they're the hot favourites.

"They're a slightly cooler choice than what you'd expect, but producers are determined to make 'Casino Royale' the edgiest Bond yet and want it to appeal to young people.

"To be asked to contribute to the soundtrack is one thing, but to record the title song is on a different scale in terms of prestige."

Artists to have recorded Bond themes in the past, include former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, Madonna, Tina Turner and Dame Shirley Bassey.
