Adele confirms she's behind 'Skyfall' themeIt looks like Adele is going to be a Bond girl. The Grammy-winning artist tweeted a picture of what appears to be the cover of the sheet music for “Skyfall,” the theme song for the upcoming James Bond film of the same name.
The page credits the singer, A. Adkins, and Paul Epworth, as P. Epworth, the British music producer who worked with Adele on 2011’s “21.” The theme song, which is currently available for pre-order on iTunes, will premiere on Adele’s official site on Friday, according to a press release. Adele follows in the footsteps of Chris Cornell, who recorded “You Know My Name” for 2006’s “Casino Royale,” and Jack White and Alicia Keys, who collaborated on “Another Way to Die” for 2008’s “Quantum of Solace.” “Skyfall,” which marks Daniel Craig’s third turn as James Bond, also stars Judi Dench and Javier Bardem. The anticipated flick will hit theaters on November 9. |

I would very much like it if she would eat a nice big mean then come over and squeeze out a nice present on my face.

googe it, dude.
get over here...long over due.
I was kinda hoping that 'TOOL' would get the nod with "Learn To Swim" as the new Bond theme. I mean, who's more deserving than Maynard, Danny, Adam & Justin to carry on the tradition of hot scores defining the Bond paradigm~?...... What~?.... No~? .... Well, it was just a thought~!
GREAT CHOICE !
Who, or what, is an "Adele?"
If you don't know who Adele is you've been living under a rock for a while now...
Maybe lives under a rock or maybe has their own life to live and doesn't have time to keep up with such nonsense. I'd rather have a person NOT know who Adele is rather than a person who is shown a picture of current politicians who enact measures that affect ones lives daily and not know who the heck they are! And to make it worse, they can vote!
But good for Adele.
On a side note: Anyone seen the new James Bond Heineken TV commercial? I got a kick out of it.
Adele is the fat one at the top of the page.
Ohhhh...I thought it was gonna be called 'SkyMALL'...now I get it...it's like, Chicken Little stuff...'cept James Bond is the chicken.
Reblogged this on vinylphishrecords and commented:
Mr. Bond. You have properly shaken me with this news
Karly Simon's Nobody does it better ,Paul McCartney Live and let die, and The Ventures instrumental Version still the best
Oh hogwarts!
I was really hoping Jill Janus was going to do the new Skyfall theme song!
Yeah, this was announced several weeks ago.......
She won't ever beat Duran Duran's "View To A Kill." Quintessential Bond tune by the quintessential stylish British band.
I love her nails!
Looks like she needs to hit the treadmill.
where's the like button?!?! 🙂
You do know she's pregnant don't you?
What was the excuse when she wasn't? She was fat then, fatter now and will still be fat or fatter 5, 10.or 15 years later.
your mommies need to take your computers away,,,,,,,pencildick little boys!!!!!
What the hell is an "add-eel?" Is that some new form of computer bug?
It is pronounced A-Dell, as in "who makes your computer?" "It is A Dell computer."
its adele's show now..it will spread her out much wider in her career.
She's spread out pretty wide as it is. One look from behind gives testiment to that.
Uh-huh. Right. Sure. And how many Bond theme performers really got a shot in the arm for their career from their song?
Dave – you, on the other hand, are just plain shallow.
I absolutely love her music. This actually means I'll spend the money and go see it in the theater as apposed to waiting for it to be rentable. Sometimes I wish the mean people in the world would just take a month off. Who cares about what she looks like. Her voice is the most hitting for me since stevie nics. I hope Adele ignores all the negative crap. I'll be buying her music till she stops recording it.
@ Anarchrist:
Have you ever heard of Shirley Bassey? She is the only artist to sing more than one Bond theme song, three to be precise.
Hey there.
hello.
She looks like she is fifty and stepped back in time with that hair and makeup. She kinda look like Hillary Clinton.
Well, you look green with envy!
pprty – well said.
I forgot to add how fat she is as well. Good lord woman, not because you're pregnant means you can eat the whole cow in one sitting.
seriously, where's the LIKE button?!?! 😀
Pity...Amy Winehouse was supposed to recorded. I've heard demo versions of hers exist but have never been released. The woman had the perfect voice for a 'Bond' film, and posessed a sense of "realness" that I just dont quite find in Adele (though she's good herself). She had her chance though, I guess it's Adele's time now.
People go on and on about Amy Winehouse, but she really wasn't anything spectacular. Just another eccentric weirdo with some talent who never missed an opportunity to make a stupid mistake.
Yea, I was disappointed Amy Winehouse couldn't do it...never did like the song for QOS that they used. I'm hoping Adele does a good job with it.
Amy Wino sucked. She wore too much eye make-up; she looked like a *hore. No one will sound as good as Shirley Bassey.
