LISTEN: Adele's James Bond Theme Tune 'Skyfall' Debuts

The full version was released this morning

The wait is over! Yes Adele's theme tune for the forthcoming James Bond film 'Skyfall' has finally debuted online this morning and it was certainly worth the wait.

The theme tune received its first airplay at 0:07 BST during the Capital FM Late Show with Will Cozens and has been trending on Twitter worldwide this morning (October 5).

Following the release 'Skyfall' fans have praised Adele and the track, hailing it as 'one of the best' Bond themes of all time.

Fans praised the track,with one tweeting:"A Perfect homage to the classic Bond era - 50 years to the day Dr. No was released, and I couldn't be happier with what Adele has contributed to the Bond legacy - good on ya girl!''

Another added: ''That voice is probably the best around right now.. It goes right through you.. This is the perfect Bond song.. It has Bond written all over it.''

Others praised Adele against previous Bond themes, saying: ''So much better than than Alicia Keyes and Jack Whites theme! An instant classic!''

 

'Skyfall', was produced by Paul Epworth, who worked on Adele's award-winning album 21 along with the likes of Friendly Fires, Florence & The Machine and Lana Del Rey.

Speaking about the song 'Skyfall', Adele admitted that she was initially hesitant about recording the theme .

"I was a little hesitant at first to be involved with the theme song for Skyfall," Adele said in a statement to announce the song.

"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.

"I'll be backcombing my hair when I'm 60 telling people I was a Bond girl back in the day I'm sure!"

Today, October 5, 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.
