Not bad…but I heard this already 35 years ago. I ain’t gonna complain too much because I like Bruno. He’s a great performer and songwriter. More power to you soul brother #2!

“Uptown Funk” is the first single from Ronson’s upcoming fourth album, Uptown Special, which drops January 27th on RCA Records. He and Mars, along with a “very special guest,” will perform the track on the November 22nd episode of Saturday Night Live.

The bulk of Uptown Special was co-written and produced by Ronson and Jeff Bhasker over 18 months in studios spanning London, Memphis, Los Angeles and New York City. The LP also features a number of lyrics by American novelist Michael Chabon, along with significant vocal and instrumental contributions from Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker. Other musical collaborators include Miike Snow’s Andrew Wyatt, producer Emile Haynie, Simian Mobile Disco’s James Ford, TNGHT’s Hudson Mohawke and DJ Zinc.

Ronson previously teamed with Bhasker and the Smeezingtons production team for three songs – “Moonshine,” “Gorilla” and the chart-topping “Locked Out of Heaven” – on Mars’ 2012 LP, Unorthodox Jukebox.
