SKYFALL Theme Song

Here it is the morning of August 23, 2012, and still no official word of who the singer for the SKYFALL theme song is. Not even a hint if it has been recorded yet.
Yesterday, the hot rumors still mention Adele, while others say One Direction.

One site was wondering how we will hear the tune first. They wondered if the upcoming SKYFALL Coca-Cola Zero commercial would reveal it first.

My guess would be an official music video will be filmed and released before SKYFALL is released October 26 in the United Kingdom.

Boy, this new song is under tight wraps. I'm glad they can keep it a secret this time. The anticipation is incredible. -{

What do you guys and ladies think? :007)

    One Direction...can you be serious???
    I certainly hope NOT, that would be a huge mistake imo.

    I would like to see a classic, Adele would be fine, but as I have mentioned before, Dame Shirley Bassey has one more in her!!

    I agree that this is a HUGE secret that is being well kept. Can´t wait to hear where we will hear it first!!

    One Direction was just another rumor. Doesn't mean it is going to happen.

    I would love for Shirley Bassey to do another Bond tune. I thought "The Living Tree" should have been chosen for Casino Royale (2006) and "No Good About Goodbye" should have been chosen for Quantum of Solace (2008).

    David Arnold did sneak in a musical line or two of "No Good About Goodbye" in the film.

    I wonder if they are waiting for October 5 to make the announcement of who the singer is?

    Looking back on Quantum of Solace. Jack White and Alicia Keys were revealed around the beginning of August. Another Way To Die was played in full for the first time on Radio 1 (UK) 18th September 2008. A sample version was available approx a week earlier than that. The music video premiered on Channel 4 (UK) 3rd October 2008.

    Yes, it's definitely being kept well under wraps, but not long to wait now.

    Thanks for the dates, Moore Than. We forget their approx. timeline after 4 years.

    Someone said Lady Ga Ga and Queen are getting together for the Skyfall song. I really hope this rumour is wrong in so so many ways!

    This appears to be a case of two plus two makes five. No source of any kind is mentioned. Also, this "news" is old. Below, is an article from last November.

    For what it's worth, I'd say Adele remains the favourite. Closely followed by Muse as they are said to be appearing on Saturday Night Live with Daniel Craig as host on the 6th October.

    Queen and Lady GaGa for James Bond 'Skyfall' theme tune?

    I just had a thought come into my brain. You don't suppose with Daniel Craig appearing on NBC's Saturday Night Live, October 6, and the musical guest performer is MUSE, that maybe it is MUSE that is singing the new theme song for the movie, SKYFALL, and maybe we will hear the song for the first time as the evening goes into October 007?

    I've been hoping for MUSE for years. If so, this would be a huge year for them, as they've done the official Olympics song this year as well, and are releasing a new album...

    Did they ? I thought is was Elbow that recorded the Official Olympics song ? Danny Boyle got them to record a song for the Olympics...as they both come from the same town...

    Muse ? I really, REALLY hope not...I find them bland....although I think they are the bookies fav to record the theme song now....at 4-1...

    The heavily-pregnant Adele was spotted walking into the Abbey Road Studio this month.
    Incidentally, composer Thomas Newman has been at Abbey Road all month working on the original score to SKYFALL.

    By the way, It is The SUN tabloid that is saying Adele was seen walking into the Abbey Road Studio.

    Yahoo News India is reporting she is recording the closing credits.

    Cant say I'm surprised, Jonathan Ross let the cat out the bag a while back so I guess she has been signed up to do this for a while!

    Good news in my opinion!

    I can't forget that earlier this year when Adele announced that she was taking a year or so off music she added "with the exception of one song", or somehting to that effect. Now, what could be important enough to take a year off at the peak of your career...except for one song? It wasn't the Olympics. There are no big charity recordings coming up. It must either be Bond...or a Christmas song!

    I agree this is good news if true.

    Adele has a great voice and if it is her, hopefully we'll get a nice, classic Bond sound, a la Shirley Bassey.
