Product description
‘Uptown Special’ featuring the record breaking single ‘Uptown Funk’ is Ronson’s most inventive and vibrant work to date. Taken as a whole, the album is inspired by his musical beginnings. As a teenager growing up in New York City in the early 90s, Ronson gravitated towards hip-hop, funk, soul and R&B. Those were the records he lugged around in boxes in the early days of his club DJ career and that scratchy, inspiring vinyl was what he returned to when creating the album.
‘Uptown Special’, Ronson's fourth album, was written and produced with GRAMMY -winning producer Jeff Bhasker (Kanye West, Drake, Alicia Keys) over 18 months in studios in London, Memphis, Los Angeles and New York City. The majority of the album’s lyrics – although not the lead single with Mars - were written by Pulitzer-winning American novelist Michael Chabon. Ronson's favourite living author, Chabon became a part of the songwriting process early on and was fully immersed in the album’s narrative creation, often working with Ronson and the vocalists in the recording studio.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 February 2015I bought this album after hearing 'Uptown Funk' and loving it! I bought this album as soon as it came out. The album was very odd to be honest, especially the first times I heard it. After getting past that odd '70's atmosphere that is a complete contrast to most music of today, I found myself enjoying it. There is some tracks that I am still getting to grips with, like 'Uptown's First Finale and 'Crack In The Pearl' but also tracks that I now love like 'Feel Right' and 'Heavy and Rolling'.
I recommend this album to the open minded among you. Don't expect anything of this album because it will be very different to what you think. Try it though but definitely don't give up on it first time you hear it!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 December 2015After hearing 'Uptown Funk' multiple times on the radio I had to hear what the rest of the album sounded like. I was not disappointed, and especially love 'Summer Breaking' and 'In Case of Fire'. Although it is quite different to Ronson's earlier material it shows how he has covered various genres and styles over the years and done all of it all so well. Fantastic album which I highly recommend.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 April 2017Another great album from Ronson that this time features the fantastic Bruno Mars on the mega hit Uptown Funk. Yes it's Ronson so we can expect it to be derivative and borrows heavily from many heritage tracks by R&B performers from the 60s and 70s- but that shows excellent taste, no?
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2015Nothing wrong with the music - as expected from previous reviews. The only issue is the CD seemed to be used when I received it - CD case was a little scratched, no plastic cellophane wrapping or security label and CD itself was quite dusty. A bit disappointing when I could have paid less for a second hand CD. Came in a huge box with something else I ordered - nearly threw it out with the box and brown paper loosely "protecting" the other product! Tried to download the amazon music app after buying the CD online to get the tracks on iphone and ipad but the app wouldn't download on either.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 May 2015Great fun and Really Rocks, having a hard time with the lyrics as well as the dance steps of "Uptown Funk" but at my age what does one expect !No regrets! ... Puts the spice back in one's life...and then some.. Hiyaah! Highly recommended.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 March 2016If you're expecting to hear 11 tracks all like Uptown Funk....forget it! When I first listened to this album I was disappointed being honest but after a few plays, I simply love it. Mark Ronson is a genius producer!

5.0 out of 5 stars Get this CD for Uptown Funk
I bought this CD for one track -- Uptown Funk, because it had become so popular. I don't really care about the other tracks, but Uptown Funk is great, and impressively recorded.
