Here it is - the new Bond theme from Adele doing her best 'Shirley Bassey' to the sound of sexy trumpety music! It's very Bond - a return to form.
Epic and classy seems to be the overall verdict. There are however folks out there who disagree, having stated that the track sent them to sleep - but who bets they had some fucking exciting dreams as a result!?
While the last two of Bond's opening sequences and theme tunes have been damn funky, they've certainly been missing a certain combination the franchise requires - silhouetted dancing naked ladies, a shouty lady singing and, of course, the sexy trumpety sounds. It sticks in your head and feels humungous - it's a BIG song, with BIG lyrics and BIG impact. Bring on 'Skyfoooeeeaall'!
