British
singer Adele belts out her amazing vocal ability to the theme song of the
latest James Bond movie “Skyfall.” Fans would be delighted to hear the Grammy
Award-winning music artist make another hit single in the music charts once
again. “Skyfall” was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London with a 77-piece
orchestra. The theme song will be the second time for the James Bond film to
carry the same title since Madonna’s “Die Another Day” back in 2002.
“Adele manages to imbue this filmic torch song with something of her own, a sense of
personality and heart,” music critic Neil McCormick wrote on the Daily
Telegraph.
Meanwhile, Mirror
reports that Adele’s “Skyfall” performance was coined by the James Bond fans like
a classic sound. "There are three types of Bond song – one is bold, brassy
and sexy like Goldfinger, another is reflective and mournful like You Only Live
Twice, and the third is anthemic and adventurous like Live And Let Die,” Ajay
Chowdhury of the James Bond International Fan Club told the Mirror.
"Adele's
song is very definitely reflective and mournful. Co-written by her and Paul
Epworth, with an arrangement by Epworth and JAC Redford, this 50th anniversary
theme is Bondian but very Adele too,” Chowdhury further added.
More positive
feedbacks are now given to Adele’s “Skyfall” theme song compared to the
previous tracks of the James Bond franchise. “You Know My Name” by Chris
Cornell from the film “Casino Royale” and “Another Way To Die” duet by Alicia
Keys and Jack White from “Quantum of Solace” received little reception with
their performances on the 007 theme songs. Vulture, a New York-based
entertainment website, reported a positive feedback by that Adele’s rendition
of “Skyfall” has a shade of Shirley Bassey which makes it sexy and cinematic.
The 23rd
installment to the James Bond film franchise,” Skyfall,” is due for a release
on October 26 in the United Kingdom then it will officially hit the theaters
and IMAX on November 9.
