Adele records new James Bond track

She's warming up her pipes ready to start recording the next James Bond theme.

After her nasty chest infection, Adele used a week off from touring to begin writing the track, which will then be a strong contender to feature in the next spy movie.

She will record the Bond song with her very own Q — trusted right-hand man Paul Epworth.

He's got a track record co-writing and producing songs with epic Bond-like orchestrations, having worked on Plan B's Strickland Banks album and tracks for Florence And The Machine and Cee Lo Green.

A source said: "Adele is the obvious choice to record the next Bond theme. The last few songs for the spy movies have hardly set the charts alight. After her success this year film-makers know the song is almost guaranteed to be a huge hit."

The singer will have to live up to classics by Shirley, Louis Armstrong, Paul McCartney and Tom Jones. But it won't be hard topping Madonna's dodgy Die Another Day effort.

Daniel Craig ... stars in new Bond film due out next year

The film, starring Daniel Craig, is going by the name Bond 23. It is due out in October next year. Asking Adele to submit a song is a great move.

The team have also hired American Beauty director Sam Mendes to helm the project.

They just need to sort Adele a cameo in a bar scene asking for her favourite drink, "full-fat Coke", to be shaken, not stirred while Bond has a martini.

She'd easily shoot down one of Bond's smooth chat-up lines with her trademark cackle.
