After months of speculation, confirmation is finally here that Adele is set to record a theme song to the latest James Bond film, Skyfall. Following Chris Cornell in Casino Royale and the Jack White / Alicia Keys contribution to 2008’s Quantum of Solace, Adele has landed the coveted spot in the iconic film series’ opening title sequence for the third installment in its Daniel Craig-starring run. News comes via a report by Showbiz411‘s Roger Friedman, who originally broke the story for Forbes magazine earlier this spring.
As big fans of Jack White’s work on the last Bond theme, not to mention of Adele, this sounds like a perfect match. Also, this week’s news puts rumors of other artists to be recruited for Skyfall to rest, namely unfounded talk that the late Amy Winehouse had a recording in the works for the project.
Starring Daniel Craig as 007, Javier Bardem as Raoul Silva, and a host of other stars, Skyfall hits theaters on November 9th in the States. Odds are Adele’s Bond song will be her first official follow-up to her hugely successful 2011 sophomore album, 21, so we can’t wait to hear the next step. Update: Adele’s Bond song is here:
