GRAMMY award winning singer Adele will be a Bond girl - at least on the soundtrack anyway.

ContactMusic has confirmed the pregnant singer will sing the titular theme song for the upcoming James Bond film, Skyfall.

The single will be the first release from the star since her highly-awarded album, 21.

Rumours had been swirling for months that the singer would take on the honour.

Photographers caught Adele leaving an MGM recording studio a few weeks ago, and the singer also ignited rumors during an interview with a French radio station in April.

By being chosen to sing the film's title track, Adele joins an exclusive club of artists including the likes of Shirley Bassy, Madonna, Duran Duran and Paul McCartney.

Co-starring Judi Dench, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris and Ben Whishaw, Skyfall will open in Australia in November 2012.
