Synopsis

Album Description

2010 release from the Grammy Award-winner producer including the disparate talents of over 30 musicians and singers from both sides of the Atlantic, The Business Intl includes D'Angelo, Boy George, Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, Alex Greenwald, Nick Hodgson (Kaiser Chiefs), Ghostface, MNDR, Dap Kings, Spank Rock, Andrew Wyatt (Miike Snow), Rose Eleanor Dougall, Wiley and MC Pill. Recorded primarily in Brooklyn, Record Collection consists entirely of original material, bringing together the songwriting skills of Nick Hodgson, Jonathan Pierce (The Drums), D'Angelo, Alex Greenwald and Cathy Dennis, to name just a few. As Ronson splits his time between London and New York the result is a transatlantic sound that incorporates his love of everything from Hip Hop, Disco, '80s Pop to French Electro and all points in between.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Mark Ronson's new CD sees him largely eschewing the horn-rich retro Soul sound of his last CD "Version". The sound this time around is more electronic with a heavy Hip Hop influence, but still with a stellar armada of guests and all original songs, no covers.

Lead-off single "Bang bang bang" features a relaxed Q-Tip and MNDR, a jerky funky affair already a #6 hit in the UK. Boy George sings "I need somebody to be nice, see the boy I once was in my eyes" over a bouncy beat on "Somebody to love me" while an awol D'Angelo appears on "Glass mountain trust", a futuristic Funk joint that sounds very Gnarls Barkley.

"Introducing the business" is a sombre song with skittery beats featuring Pill and the haunting London Gay Men's Choir, while Simon Le Bon, Wiley (raps the intro) and Ronson himself (handles the verses) appear on the poppy title track, a sign of things to come on the upcoming Ronson-produced Duran Duran album perhaps.

Interspersed among the songs are 3 electronic instrumental interludes; "The colour of crumar", "Selector" and "Missing words", as well as the synth/Rock instrumental "Circuit breaker". Closing is my favourite, "The night last night" with the clear vocals of Rose Elinor Dougall juxtaposed with Alex Greenwald's haunting layered vocals set to skittery beats and cryptic lyrics about a dream.

"I wanna be in your record collection" and this should get him in."

Another great CD from a great producer!

"Mark Ronson has been one of my favorite producers for the last few years, showing his immense range with his production for Wale, Daniel Merriweather and Amy Winehouse. This album has more of an electronic and new wave vibe than his previous album, without sounding too cliche. Ronson is one of the few producers that can get away with mixing a super pop song like "Lose It (In the End)" with Ghostface's hard delivery. "Introducing the Business" combines Pill's Georgia drawl with amazing production and atmospheric vocals from the the London Gay Men's Choir. D'angelo emerges out of the ether to drop a solid turn on "Glass Mountain Trust" (in which he sounds like Cee-lo/Bilal). In a time where people are afraid to make pure Pop music, Mark Ronson continues to shine. I can't wait to see what he has in store with his future collabs with D'angelo and Adele."
