Well, it was heavily rumored for some time, but official confirmation that Adele will be doing the theme song for Skyfall.

According to the official page, the full theme/video will drop on Friday

Adele will premiere “Skyfall”, the official theme song to the upcoming 007 film of the same name, globally via her official site on Friday October 5th at 0:07 BST/LONDON time (7:07pm EST on October 4th). The track is available for pre-order at iTunes starting today. October 5th marks the 50th anniversary of the release of DR. NO and is being celebrated as Global James Bond Day.

But to really get you hungry for Friday, here is a 90 sec clip of the theme, which sounds amazing

[Meier]

Damn, they're pulling out all the stops to make this one a hit and remove the foul taste from people's mouths. QoS was pretty poor all things considered, but I can't wait for this one.

 

[MYE]

Sounds pretty good

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Damn, that's pretty great.

 

[strafer]

Fantastic.

 

[vitaminwateryum]

That sounds fantastic.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

It's no "You Know My Name" but it's still good.

 

[Darklord]

...Okay, you win this one, Adele.

 

[djplaeskool]

Already looking and sounding much better than QoS

 

[spats]

I like it a lot.

 

[tj hazuki]

OSCARS, Anyone?

 

[royalan]

After repeated listens I'm definitely warming up to it.

Still, I do prefer the more dramatic Bond themes.

 

[The Big Rig]

It sounds like an Adele song, just with less boyfriend lamenting.

 

[Eidan]

Everything she touches turns to GOLD

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Still think Shirley Bassey should have gotten the nod, but it does sound promising.

And of course no question blows away the QoS drivel.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Sounds so...standard? Don't want to judge the entire song on a 90 second snippet, but it comes off as being a very safe Bond tune.

 

[thetrin]

Well, she definitely gets what a Bond song is supposed to be. I like it a lot.

It's no "You Know My Name" but it's still good.

Yeah, I still think You Know My Name is better, but this is damn good.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Sounds good. Needs more dramatic brass though, but I suspect there will be plenty of that in the rest of the track.

 

[Aguirre]

it sounds okay.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Wow. Much much better than I expected. Can't wait for the full thing.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Have been playing the clip on repeat for the last hour. I'm moist with anticipation for the full track.

Can't believe it's been 17 years since the last good theme song.

 

[VeryGooster]

dat John Barry at 1:05. Looking forward to the opening titles.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Sounds awesome.

 

[injurai]

I would have preferred LDR, but this is great too. Look forward to seeing this, it seems too long since a descent Bond came out.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Oh my God, that sounds so good.

 

[Veitsev]

This is one of the best bond themes in awhile and the best of the the Craig Bond films.

 

[Deleted member 102362]

Can't believe it's been 6 years since the last good theme song.

I know, right?

New theme sounds pretty good. No, not as catchy/memorable as "You Know My Name" but it's good.

 

[The Mana Legend]

Why is she singing her lyrics like her mouth is full of shit?

It's pretty average other than that.

 

[maquiladora]

It sounds like an Adele song, just with less boyfriend lamenting.

.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Wow I loved how those Bond bars crept in at the end there. Love it.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Very good.

 

[Solo]

Haven't listened (at work for another hour), but since they've now gone and done the Shirley Bassey/Patti Labelle/Tina Turner big belting female voice thing again with Adele, for Bond 24 can we please get a Tom Jones-esque big male voice?

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I need the full theme!

Don't wanna wait till Friday or whenever :/

 

[The Mana Legend]

There is no big female voice in the sample song. It's pretty tame.

You like the Thunderball theme?

 

[Aurongel]

Umm whoa...

This actually sounds really great.

 

[Solo]

[DieH@rd]

I really liked Casino Royale's theme ["You know my name"], and this sounds very nice also.

 

[G-Fex]

Love it.

LIKE THUNNNNNNNNNNNDERRRBAAALLLLLLLLLL



and Adele's theme is great

 

[Sai-kun]

Damn, this is actually pretty ace. I like it.

 

[The Mana Legend]

GAH

You like the Thunderball theme?

Dude, when it goes "AND HE STRIKES BUMBUMBUMBUMBUM, like Thunderbaaaaalll", it's my favorite James Bond theme moment ever.

 

[The Faceless Master]

i heard 2 seconds of it and i was sold!

 

[Omzz]

Sounds really good. Can't wait for the movie

 

[rekameohs]

I'm definitely liking it a lot.

You know what's up.

 

[Penguin]

Love it.

I thought we were friends.. and here you are betraying everything I've ever believed in! >.<

 

[FallingEdge]

Thunderball theme is great. Tom Jones is a fucking boss.

This is sounding great as well.

 

[Angry Fork]

Sounds so...standard? Don't want to judge the entire song on a 90 second snippet, but it comes off as being a very safe Bond tune.

Yea I think so too but I like it at least it isn't bad. You know my name is still the king.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Should have been Noel Gallagher

But I approve.

I thought we were friends.. and here you are betraying everything I've ever believed in! >.<

I think you cast the first stone with your irrational (and STILL unexplained) hatred of Canadians....
