Adele, who thought she wasn't the right person to sing a Bond theme, the dedication to the cause - I find it quite endearing. It would have been so easy - not to mention tempting, considering her popularity - to turn this into an "Adele" standard, and even though it doesn't stray too far from her own genre it sounds as if she's put the "Bond" before herself. # 25 and it's one of the best.
