After the last review on Adele, I decided to give Skyfall a shot. Wow. For a movie theme it's ridiculously good. 10/10 on vocals, 10/10 on instrumentals. Adele's voice is incredible as always, but on this one, it was like I was saying in the Rolling in the Deep review, she exploded the instrumental. It has drums (which are in most things anymore), but also violins (which are in very few things). not many pop songs have violins in them. The transitions between the quiet and climactic bits are beautifully orchestrated. Good work, Adele!

I absolutely love this song! Her voice is so powerful and it captures the listeners with every note. I love her vocal range and how she has grown as an artist. The writers of Skyfall the movie were genius for using her for this song, and it has become one of the many faces of the James Bond legend.
