I'm pretty sure I'm right, but it premieres in the east coast of the US on Thursday at 7:07pm?
Adele will premiere her latest recording “Skyfall,” the official theme song to the upcoming 007 adventure of the same name, globally via her official site (www.Adele.tv) on Friday October 5th at 0:07 BST/London time (7:07pm EST on October 4th), the track will be available to purchase as a download immediately after this premiere. The track is available for pre-order at iTunes starting today (http://smarturl.it/AdeleSkyfall). October 5th marks the 50th anniversary of the release of Dr. No, and thus the James Bond film franchise, and will be celebrated as Global James Bond Day.
After reading the script for the film, Adele enlisted Paul Epworth to co-write and produce the theme song to “Skyfall™.” Adele admits, “I was a little hesitant at first to be involved with the theme song for Skyfall. 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!” Recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, “Skyfall” features the lush accompaniment of a 77-piece orchestra.
“Skyfall” is the first recording by Adele since releasing her massively successful sophomore album 21 in early 2011. To date 21 has sold over 24 million albums worldwide and garnered Adele 6 Grammy Awards, 2 BRIT Awards and 2 Ivor Novello Awards. 21 is the biggest selling album of both 2011 and 2012.
“Skyfall,” the movie, will be released on October 26, 2012 in the UK and on November 9, 2012 in the U.S.
Lizo.
Crap! Ah well, could be much worse I suppose. Looking forward to hearing the song.
Thank you! I didnt expect them releasing it at 7 minutes past midnight. lol. Oh well, i will be stopping up late on thursday then .
What? We already have official confirmation of the artist???
thelivingroyale, why you making out Adele is a bad choice. She is an amazing singer. Im not a big fan no, but she has got a great voice.
I hope so too - i loved the way 'variations' of 'YKMN' were played throughout Casino Royale', especially the romantic or touching moments between Bond and Vesper. I'd really like the Skyfall themesong to be used throughout the film.
I've already said why and I don't want to repeat myself. Just go back a few pages.
Besides, I don't think she's a really bad choice, I just think there are better ones.

To my knowledge, this is the first official comment from EON stating that ADELE will sing Skyfall.
Looking at the Bond Title Song Charts it's surprising to see that the recent rock songs performed so badly in the US charts. You Know My Name only made it to 79 and Another Way To Die at 81. The UK charts were less fussy and positioned them at 7 and 9 respectively which goes to show that it backfired getting 2 rock acts to perform the past 2 Bond songs if they wanted a slice of the huge US market. I have no doubt in my mind it will be different this time round and we'll see Adele's song easily beat even Madonna's DAD to be the first Bond song to top the charts both sides of the Atlantic.
A View To A Kill is the only one, isn't it? :)
I edited the thread title.
I think it will be Getafix. As it was way back earliar this year on the Jonathan Ross show that she had been working on it?
Good god, am I relieved!

Skyfall is looking good so far. The only small gripe I have is Craig's hair being near-on a skinhead, but other than that I am quietly optimistic that this could be one great movie.
