Adele Gives Skyfall James Bond Theme a Classic Sound: Listen Now

Adele Gives Skyfall James Bond Theme a Classic Sound: Listen NowThe arrival of a new James Bond 007 theme song is almost as big an event as the film’s first trailer. A bad theme can detract from anticipation for the upcoming film it’s attached to. A solid theme can add to it.

We have been anxiously waiting to hear the Skyfall starring Daniel Craig theme from Adele and today it finally arrived. Running at nearly 5 minutes in length, the Skyfall theme comes via YouTube with full lyrics playing over a rainbow of smokey backgrounds


My first reaction to the theme is wow, it sounds as if it could have been recorded in the 1960s or 1970s. It evokes that classic Bond 007 feel more than any other Bond theme or recent memory. All that is missing are some silhouettes of Bond girls dancing or aiming firearms in the background.

What do you think of Adele’s Skyfall Bond theme that was co-written by Paul Epworth? Chime in with your thoughts in the comments section below.

Skyfall descends into theaters here in North America on November 9.
