Mark Ronson Uptown Special [PA]

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Bruno Mars animates a Minneapolis groove with EDM builds on 'Uptown Funk.' It could even teach Prince a trick or two."
"The songs are effective and even somewhat infectious -- the producer's ear for rubbery, narcissistic art-rock is as adept as it is for floor-filling soul..."
"'Uptown Funk' breaks a serious sweat, but the centerpiece of Ronson's fourth album is the volcanic 'Feel Right'..." -- Grade: B+
"Ronson's fourth record consistently finds chemistry in the unlikeliest of places, not least between Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon (who wrote most of the lyrics), and Parker, whose distinctively woozy vocals prove the perfect vessel for the trippy wordplay on narco-funk workout 'Daffodils'."
Paste (magazine) - "Ronson's UPTOWN SPECIAL is his best work yet and one of the best funk albums you'll come across in recent memory."
