Mark Ronson....
DJ, record producer, songwriter, multi instrumentalist...
worked with a whos-who of music from Amy Winehouse,Macca,Jack White,Adele,Robbie Williams,Christine Aguilera,Snoop Dogg, etc etc....
and this album is no exception with the likes of Bruno Mars, Stevie Wonder, Kevin Parker(tame impala) and a few others also...
this album has a distinct old style R+B feel, ala the hit single "uptown funk" which has a very James Brown thing happening IMO...
theres even an old 1980s styl hip-hop track(feel right) which features a guy ive never heard of in Mystikal???...
all up, not a bad album, but to be fair, I didn't know what to really expect with this one, anyway,
I now own the superb "uptown funk" which features the modern day James Brown/Jackie Wilson....
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: uptowns first finale
best track: uptown funk
