The pairing is the first duet in Bond soundtrack history.

Daniel Craig will star as 007 in the new film, which opens later this year.
White made his name with his sister Meg in the US outfit the White Stripes.
Since forming in 1997 they have released six albums - White went on to form the Raconteurs in 2005.
US Grammy Award-winner Keys, 27, first appeared on the music scene in 2001 with her debut album Songs In A Minor.
