Uptown Special

Mark Ronson

A high-gloss tribute to 70s funk and yacht rock. Polished brass, deep-pocket basslines, and literary storytelling recorded with vintage analog grit.

January 12, 2015 · Columbia

A high-octane celebration of vintage grooves shot through with a sophisticated, late-night melancholy.
