INCLUDES CD VERSION ENCLOSED


For his latest long player Mark Ronson, as the title suggests, takes the Uptown Express and gets off at 86th & Boogie, bringing the cool Downtown crowd with him for a party. In the five years since 'Record Collection' Ronson's guest list pulling power has also taken an upward tilt. Out go the Zutons' Dave McCabe, Jonathan Pierce (The Drums) and Kai of Mystery Jets, in come Bruno Mars, Kevin Parker (Tame Impala) and Stevie Wonder, with production from Emile Haynie and Jeff Bhasker (Kanye West, Lana Del Rey, Beyonce, Alicia Keys) and lyrics by novelist Michael Chabon. In that intervening half decade Mark has obviously kept his ears to the bubblings up from the musical underground, absorbing boogie and yacht rock sounds to add to his funky palette. From the plaintive, cinematic opener 'Uptown's First Finale'
(Manhhattan sunrise 1979?), via the Steely Danesque 'Summer Breaking', yacht rocking 'Leaving Los Feliz', 'Crack In The Pearl' and 'Heavy And Rolling', and onto the more up-beat funky numbers (James Brown-like 'Explicit Feel Right', massive number one smash 'Uptown Funk', freestyle boogie 'I Can't Lose', Chic-channelling 'Daffodils' and Billy Ocean-tinted 'In Case Of Fire'), 'Uptown Special' is a non-stop, mind the gap, rapid transit fun ride.
