Adele confirmed as singer of official Skyfall theme song

Adele has premiered her latest song “Skyfall” globally via her personal website.

After reading the script, Adele enlisted Paul Epworth to co-write and produce the song for the film. With the assistance of Epworth, Adele admits she had a lot of fun writing to a brief.

“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!”

The song Skyfall had the support of a 77-piece orchestra and was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London. Listen to ADELE – Skyfall below:


 
Update: ADELE - Skyfall is now available on iTunes.
