Jean-esque track and the result of this Ronson-Tame Impala formula is an oddly groovy, soul-infused, yet slightly psychedelic sound. Mark Ronson is renowned for his collaborations and Uptown Special looks to deliver just that. Apart from Kevin Parker and Bruno Mars, contributors to this album will also include the likes of Miike Snow’s Andrew Wyatt, TNGHT’s Hudson Mohawke, Simian Mobile Disco’s James Ford and producer Emile Haynie. Lyricswise, Uptown Special will also feature a creative collaboration between music and literature. Excluding ‘Uptown Funk’, most of the lyrics are written by Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Chabon, whose book apparently moved Ronson to tears.

so funky it could resurrect Michael Jackson ‘Uptown Funk’ is set to be released as a lead single on 11th January and Uptown Special follows on 26th January 2015 on RCA. Amidst the coursework and exams crisis, it turns out that there is still the beacon of hope that is the new Mark Ronson album. The start of 2015 doesn’t seem too bad after all. By Jaisai Wongpichet
