Celeste channels her fellow BRIT School alumna Adele in the smoky cinematic theme song of Sky TV’s remake of The Day Of The Jackal.

I know I’m not the only one getting strong James Bond vibes from the new Day Of The Jackal reboot. And I’m not the only one thinking Celeste’s theme song has overtones of a classic Bond tune too.

It’s a slow-burning bluesy jazz jam, with Celeste’s slightly cracked vocal dripping with emotion and the pretty piano motif embellished by bass, drums.

Sweeping cinematic strings lend it a Bondish sense of drama as it rises and falls – those words are in the lyric too – and builds back up to a dramatic crescendo.

Although written long before the TV drama was even commissioned (Celeste had planned to release the song four years ago), it’s got lyrics that reflect the themes of the show itself – identity and the idea that only certain people can know who we really are.

Which is what defines hit man Eddie Redmayne’s professional assassin and Lashana Lynch’s MI5 operative in the cat-and-mouse game they play, hiding their secrets from public view.

I’ve only seen one episode so far and the jury’s still out for me; Redmayne’s poker-faced hit man is so far almost entirely devoid of actual character, whereas Lynch’s struggles to balance her top-secret work and home life with a husband and teenage daughter is just not dramatically interesting.

But it’s early days in a ten-part series.

I’ve never really listened before to Celeste, who I learn was born in California but raised in Essex before ending up in Brighton, singing in hymns in church and, in time, attending the BRIT School where Adele and Amy Winehouse were among her many successful predecessors.

But I shall investigate further now.
