Until producers determine who will sing the theme for the new James Bond film, Skyfall , we look at a few artists worth considering.
Adele
Why she's a good fit: Reportedly a frontrunner for the new film, Adele is a fitting choice given her retro style as well as her massive success. It goes without saying that she has a bombastic voice that channels the classic Bond themes. With her on the mic, the film could have its first hit title track in decades.
Evidence: Rolling In The Deep
Who she reminds us of: Shirley Bassey (Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever)

Michael Bublé
Why he's a good fit: He's practically the male equivalent to Adele. His signature throwback sound melds perfectly with older James Bond themes. It would be great to see him ham it up like Tom Jones did before him.
Evidence: Cry Me A River
Who he reminds us of: Tom Jones (Thunderball)

Muse
Why they're a good fit: The English arena rock band continues to soar to new heights with each album. Their epic sound is fitting for the grand overtures that some of the James Bond themes like to employ. Besides, it'd be nice to bring a rock edge to the theme (while ignoring Chris Cornell's attempt for Casino Royale).
Evidence: Undisclosed Desires
Who they remind us of: Paul McCartney & The Wings (Live and Let Die)
Duffy
Why she's a good fit: While not as popular as she was a few years ago, the singer channels a similar retro sound as Adele but with a little more upbeat vibe. Plus, she already recorded a cover of Paul McCartney's theme for Live and Let Die.
Evidence: Live and Let Die
Who she reminds us of: Nancy Sinatra (You Only Live Twice)
