gkgyver 1,645 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Sounds VERY much like the Arnold/Bassey production "No Good About Goodbyes".Also, is this the first Bond title song since the early Barry days to quote the Bond theme directly? I think it is. Upon first listening, I like it more than the crappy Another Way To Die, and maybe more than Casino Royale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krang 1 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I didn't realize they'd be so blatant in referencing the original Bond theme in the new song. Still sounds good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,347 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Found a place online I could hear ithttp://www39.zippysh...98071/file.htmlIt's alright, kinda boring. It's too slow. The first Bond film in FOUR YEARS (the longest gap ever when not switching main actors) should have a fast, upbeat song, not a slow ballad, IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two were pretty aggressive, and I like them a lot (even AWTD), but some of the best songs in the Bond canon are relatively restrained.BUT... and this is merely a guess... I suspect it's going to end with her belting it out, Tom Jones-style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 No, Donna Simpson, New Jersey's aspiring "World's Fattest Woman," could afford to lose a bit of weight, seeing as how she wants to eat and eat to become over 1,000 pounds (71 stone).Adele is as curvy as the girl next door, which still makes her sexy.

Wojo 2,453 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Why? Kelly Clarkson has kept a respectable position in the charts, while other, skinnier American Idol winners have fallen off the face of the earth, and she hasn't been the skinniest thing all these years. Amy Winehouse was an anorexic-looking headcase and a freak of nature. The local crackhouse would be a fine place to find more women with her skin and bones appearance.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I'm talking about the voice and style of her music. Before Winehouse the "lived though it all" soul voice supported by jazzy arrangements was not really on the chart pop-music wise. After the success of Back To Black lot of studio's went looking for something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 452 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I apologize for what I said earlier (the weight comment)... I should've thought about it thoroughly before posting. But I go by what I said about her popularity. Her voice is good, but her overall style (soul/R&B/rock) just isn't my cup of tea.I think Adele could really be a great indie or classical singer if she wants to dabble in it.

I hated -- and I do mean HATED -- "You Know My Name" the first time I heard it, but then when the movie itself came out and I saw it, I liked the song a lot better. It's one of my favorites now.I'm going to do my absolute best to avoid Adele's song until the movie comes out; I'd like to hear it fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
