NOTTT :-P.

All you eager beavers who think you heard the whole of skyfall? You just got the radio edit.. Gotta wait for 0.07 to hear the full thing....
It is huh :-). Told you :-). Adele firmly stands among those other female Bond performers Shirley Bassey, Carly Simon, Nancy Sinatra, Sheena Easton and Tina Turner. This is a mindblowing theme song. This is.....Bond with a capital B.
Moreover, it is not a Monty Norman melody-rip-off. The Bond theme is heard, but in a tender, nuanced way, just like 'Goldfinger' and 'GoldenEye'. The song is warm, Bond-ian and sultry. A mixture of slow-tempo soul that we heard from Dusty Springfield and Nancy Sinatra and American big-band Vegas style like we heard from Doug Ashdown.
I feel like listening to it in a log cabin in the Swiss Alps with a beautiful guy (for you mostly girls), on a big carpet and a huge fireplace. Lots of candles around us....:-).
I knew it! ;)
Very true. Not that impressed by the production or orchestration. Could have been a bit lusher. Wish she'd enunciate properly as well.
But it could be a grower.
*craps pants*
Cool.
You did? I don't recall having such a discussion. I never doubted that it would be good, in fact I've been advocating Adele from the start.
I hope so. But if you listen to Diamonds, for instance, you can clearly hear every part that's played. It's tight, warm, elegant, Bondian... The production is just great for that song. In Skyfall everything sounds everywhere or just lost. That is quite a shame cause the song and Adele are great.
EDIT:
It's because it was recorded from the radio, if you listen closely you can even hear things moving in the back.
Mate, there's nothing wrong with her enunciation. Maybe your computer or speakers are limited.
Glad you like it. I seem to remember you weren't too impressed and had strong reservations about how this song would end up.
The full version may sound fuller and clearer. Wait and see.
Newman could definitely use it for a instrumental romance track a la Barry, but I can't see it used in action pieces.
I hope so! :-)
