Spectre: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack album to the 24th James Bond film of the same name. Released by Universal Music Classics on October 23, 2015 in the United Kingdom and on November 6, 2015 in the United States, the music was composed by Thomas Newman, who previously composed the soundtrack of 23rd Bond's film Skyfall, making him the third composer after John Barry and David Arnold (and the first non-British composer) to score more than one film in the series. The film's theme song "Writing's on the Wall" performed by Sam Smith is the only one of the four themes that doesn't feature the title of its film. It is also the third song after "You Know My Name" (2006) and "Skyfall" (2012) that did not appear on the film's official soundtrack album.
