The wait is finally over! On Friday 5 October British pop diva
Adele will premiere her theme song for the new James Bond movie, Skyfall,
globally via her official site http://home.adele.tv - Friday also marks the
50th anniversary of the release of Dr.
No, and thus the James Bond film franchise, and will be celebrated as Global
James Bond Day. Adele admits, “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!” Recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, Skyfall
features the lush accompaniment of a 77-piece orchestra. Skyfall is the first
recording by Adele since releasing her massively successful sophomore album 21
in early 2011. To date 21 has sold over
24 million albums worldwide and garnered Adele 6 Grammy Awards, 2 BRIT Awards
and 2 Ivor Novello Awards. 21 is the
biggest selling album of both 2011 and 2012.
