Review

"Uptown Special" by Mark Ronson is a real gem! This 2015 release is buzzing with vibrant and eclectic tracks that show just how versatile Ronson is as a producer. After taking a five-year break since "Record Collection," he came back swinging. The album boasts a wild roster of collaborators like Stevie Wonder, Andrew Wyatt, Kevin Parker, Bruno Mars, and Mystikal, blending funk, soul, and pop into a seriously dynamic mix.

You've probably heard "Uptown Funk" featuring Bruno Mars. It's an absolute banger of a track that perfects the funk revival vibe with catchy hooks and ridiculously infectious beats. "Uptown's First Finale" with Stevie Wonder and Andrew Wyatt, and "Feel Right" featuring Mystikal, are also standout tracks. Ronson’s production is top-notch, bringing a polished, refined sound that flows smoothly from start to finish. While some have said the album lacks a cohesive theme, the variety and quality are more than enough to keep you hooked. "Uptown Special" is a delightful listen, whether you're a long-time fan or new to Ronson's work. - Preston
