FKA twigs is to work on the next James Bond soundtrack after Skyfall hitmaker Adele recommended her.

Adele showed Bond 24's director Sam Mendes twigs' work and he thinks her songs will fit perfectly with the next movie in the franchise.



A source told the Daily Star: "twigs met with top executives and they told her Mendes loves her music and wants some of it in Bond.



"He was nudged in her direction by Adele, who loves twigs. If she gets Bond she'll become a well known name."



However, while twigs - who is dating actor Robert Pattinson - will feature on the soundtrack, Adele is expected to record the theme song for the second movie in a row.



The source added: "Adele will still be the iconic songstress of Bond 24 and is writing a new song for it."



Last month, Adele, 26, made a rare public appearance to see FKA twigs perform in London but the musicians have yet to meet in person.

The Pendulum singer, who missed out on picking up the Barclaycard Mercury Prize last week after her shortlisted album lost out to Young Fathers, said: ''I haven't met Adele, I once saw her at the XL Christmas party but I didn't say hi, but next time I see her we'll have a talking point.''
