Adele Takes a Skyfall

ADELE TAKES A "'FALL”: Adele will release her latest recording “Skyfall,” the official theme song to the upcoming James Bond movie of the same name, via her official site (www.Adele.tv) this Friday (10/5) at 0:07 BST/London time (7:07pm EST on 10/4). The track will be available to purchase as a download immediately after this premiere. The track is available for pre-order at iTunes starting today (http://smarturl.it/AdeleSkyfall). After reading the script for the film, Adele enlisted Paul Epworth to co-write and produce the theme song: “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 inLondon, “Skyfall” features the lush accompaniment of a 77-piece orchestra.
