Last Friday, to coincide with with the 50th anniversary of Dr. No, Adele’s “Skyfall” was released as the official theme song to the next 007 film of the same name. It is the first song she has released since her wildly successful 2011 album, 21, and so far is receiving mostly positive reviews from critics and fans alike.
Adele’s voice has that raspy yet sultry-smooth quality, reminiscent of Shirley Bassey and the old Bond themes, and with the classic chord progression and an entire string section supporting her, most seem to agree that this song does the trick.
Hear “Skyfall” below and scroll down to watch the official trailer for the film, in theaters November 9th.
