While nearly every Bond Theme from the golden era of the 60s and 70s are seen as the epitome of style and class, the theme songs of recent years appear rather uneven in quality.

The idea behind 'Mister Bond' is to turn the uncool Bond songs into cool ones, and make the cool Bond songs even cooler than before. The eleven tracks on MISTER BOND pay homage to the high production values of the originals, but translate them into a lounge/nu-soul style. The main ingredients had to be style, elegance and swinging coolness, which the guest singers bring in with their own vocal nuances and emotional shadings.

Mister Bond presents the German R'N'B queen Cassandra Steen with her sexy interpretations of "The Living Daylights" and "License To Kill", De:Phazz singer Pat Appleton grabs "Goldeneye" and transforms it into a swinging rockabilly track à la Brian Setzer Orchestra. At-Vance singer Oliver Hartmann turns the classic "Goldfinger" into a weird tango with a touch of Brecht/Weill, Jutta Gückel sexes up "Tomorrow Never Dies" a few degrees, and Katia B´s sexy Brazilian voice turns "Die Another Day" into a fluffy, loungy Bossa Nova. Rick Washington turns "Nobody Does It Better" into a slow burning, funky gospel track, and Vanessa Ekpenyong turns "The World Is Not Enough" into a soulful ballad with string quartet.
