Music from a James Bond movie is almost a genre unto itself. Even when you don't know that a song is a Bond theme, after someone tells you it is you usually think, "yeah, I can see that". It's almost like Christmas music. You just know from the tone, feel, and general sound that it is what it is. The song is usually have a bit of a haunting feel while blending in with the tone of popular music from the era in which they are released.
This tune was written by Adele, and received excellent critical acclaim and commercial success. It was the first Bond theme to be nominated for an Academy Award since 1982, and it won for Best Original Song. Fifty years after the release of the first Bond film, Dr. No, the franchise and its music live on strong.
