For this fall's 23rd James Bond film, Skyfall, superstar recording artist Adele is lending her trademark vocals to the franchise. Listen to the results above.
Adele is... well, Adele, so it's not very surprising to hear that the vocals on the "Skyfall" track are great. What is nice, however, is the type of sound Adele brings to the table; don't be surprised if, from this point on, you hear endless claims amongst fans that the singer brings back "that Shirley Bassey feeling," which made classic Bond films like Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever feel so... classic. Adele is welcome return to that former glory, as far as we're concerned.
Skyfall revolves around a plot in which Bond's boss "M" (Judi Dench) is positioned for a big fall from grace by an insidious assassin known as Raoul Silva (Javier Bardem). Along the way we'll see Bond (Daniel Craig) and MI6 under siege; the evolution of 007 from brutal thug to suave secret agent; the introduction of familiar Bond staples like gadget-man "Q" (Ben Whishaw), and the possible replacement of female "M" with a more traditional male version (aka, Ralph Fiennes as Gareth "M"allory).
Director Sam Mendes (American Beauty) has his work cut out for him, but the impression left by the Skyfall trailers and TV Spots suggest that he has more than risen to the task.

Skyfall will be in theaters and IMAX on November 9, 2012.
