Adele's Bond theme song, you likey?

[msrisotto]

I do! Which surprised me as I haven't liked any bond songs since before Madonna and I can find Adele whiney sounding.

Here it is for those who might not have heard it.

Intro is far too long. It might grow on me.

It's a wee bit cheesy but it is really good. Very James Bondy.

The girl sure can sing.

Hate it. Sorry adele!

It grew on me btw

And I've only heard it twice!

I heard it last night. I thought there were bits where she was singing out of tune or was that deliberate?

To be fair, they wouldn't have released it if she was singing out of tune, and her live performance is usually near perfect.

Agree about her live performance but really didn't think her voice sounded very good on this. I assume the surgery she had to have has affected it.

It's a bit meh. Very safe Bond tune but not that interesting. Wouldn't say I hated it though.

I heard it for the first time yesterday, and had no idea it was the new Bond song, but I thought, "shit, this should be the new Bond song, or they'd better hire her to do the next one."

So as far as Bond son'gs go, I think it's the best I've heard in a long while. As far as Adele goes, I really like it. Very 60's sounding, which is where the odd off-key sound comes from, I think.

I so wanted this to be good, and I guess it is (even though it seems to take quite a while to get going). The trouble is the "chorus" just reminds me of Billy Connolly's pub/party singer skit from many, many moons ago. Skyffaaawllll............

Definitely like, but ask again when it's been on every radio station every five minutes for weeks on end and I may have a different opinion.
