Adele will release her theme from the new James Bond movie ‘Skyfall’ this Friday, October 5.
Adele Skyfall
October 5 also marks the 50th anniversary of the release of the very first James Bond movie ‘Dr No’ starring Sean Connery.
The Adele sung theme was co-written with Paul Epworth, who she wrote ‘Rolling In The Deep’ with.
In a statement Adele said, “I was a little hesitant at first to be involved with the theme song for SKYFALL. There’s a lot of instant spotlight and pressure when it comes to a Bond song. But I fell in love with the script and Paul had some great ideas for the track and it ended up being a bit of a no-brainer to do it in the end. It was also a lot of fun writing to a brief, something I’ve never done which made it exciting. When we recorded the strings, it was one of the proudest moments of my life. I’ll be back combing my hair when I’m 60 telling people I was a Bond girl back in the day, I’m sure!”
The Skyfall theme was recorded at Abbey Road studios with a 77-piece orchestra. It will be the first new music from Adele since her massive ‘21’ album which has sold over 24 million albums to date.
