It was all kept under the seal of mystery since September of 2011 when Adele dropped a by-the-way “I’m working on a special project”. 2012 saw the anniversary of the so called Bondiana – the 50 year old story of the unbeatable and unsurpassed Mister Bond, James Bond; particularly the celebration of the release of the very first movie “Dr. No” in 1962 with Sean Connery in the role of the first Agent 007.
When Adele was spotted at Abbey Road Studios in London, mass media caught up and carefully spread the rumour that she and no one else would be representing the new soundtrack to the promising movie and overall holiday of the "Global James Bond Day". As it was revealed in October 2012, the orchestration was done by J. A. C. Redford and among composers/so-authors were named Adele herself and her producer Paul Epworth.
And what do we have as a result? An epic movie and one of the best or probably THE best Bond theme ever recorded. That’s the first song in the row to win the Academy Award for best original song. The SkyFall also holds the Golden Globe Award and the Brit Award. Adele did make it the pride of the English nation and the record-setting song with the highest number of digital sales within a week – just after 10 hours after its official publishing the hit burst the iTunes beating all the previous records men.
