After months of speculation - after singer Adele was seen at Abbey Road Studios in London - she finally confirmed that she is indeed recording the theme song for ‘Skyfall’, the latest James Bond movie.

 

The singer posted a photo on social network site Twitter, which showed her hand resting on paperwork that contained the words “Skyfall, A.Adkins/P. Epworth”, which is thought to be the score for the latest bond theme.

 

The song, according to The Sun, features an accompaniment of a 77-piece orchestra, and is understood to be a collaboration with Paul Epworth; the same man who helped the singer make her phenomenally successful album ‘21’. 

 

Adele, who was allegedly hesitant about doing the project in the beginning, has told The Sun that she considers this as one of the proudest moments in her life. 

 

She said: “There's a lot of instant spotlight and pressure when it comes to a Bond song.

 

"But I fell in love with the script and Paul had some great ideas for the track and it ended up being a bit of a no brainer to do it in the end. It was also a lot of fun writing to a brief, something I've never done, which made it exciting. 

 

"When we recorded the strings it was one of the proudest moments of my life. 

 

"I’ll be back combing my hair when I'm 60 telling people I was a Bond girl back in the day I'm sure!”
