I'd be surprised if it's Adele. But if it is, hopefully it's better than Skyfall's theme song, because that was a bit too "Bond theme by numbers" for me.In 4 days time the artist singing the title song will be revealed. Adele? Radiohead? Phil Collins? Ellie Goulding?
That's what people wanted though, after the awful "Another Way to Die" by Jack White and Alicia Keys. Adele's song was a good old fashioned Bond Ballad, Bassey-esque. And an Oscar winner too, don't forget!I'd be surprised if it's Adele. But if it is, hopefully it's better than Skyfall's theme song, because that was a bit too "Bond theme by numbers" for me.
I agree that in terms of style it was a very traditional Bond ballad, but it just wasn't anywhere near the quality of the classics. It's not even on par with Goldeneye. Basically it has all the elements of a traditional Bond theme, but I'd go as far as calling it a pastiche. Nothing wrong with a nod to the classics, but this one was just very bland and forgettable. When I first heard it, I remember waiting for the chorus and my first reaction was: "huh, that's it?". Maybe it's the production which makes it sound a bit flat. It has the right ingredients, but it just never "soars" like you'd expect it to. Sure, it won an Oscar, but just look at the competition. It won pretty much by default. The quality of original songs nominated for Oscars just hasn't been very high lately.That's what people wanted though, after the awful "Another Way to Die" by Jack White and Alicia Keys.

WHAM reunite for one last song. That would be the dream wouldn't it?A brilliant mix of Live and Let Die and Goldfinger. LOVE IT. In 4 days time the artist singing the title song will be revealed. Adele? Radiohead? Phil Collins? Ellie Goulding? I'm on tenterhooks!
If they went all rock 'n' roll, my vote would go to these guys:Motörhead. Lemmy can make even James Bond more badass.
