You may not know Mark Ronson, but it’s likely you know his work. Specifically, Amy Winehouse’s breakthrough album, Back to Black, which he produced and which won him this year’s Grammy for Producer of the Year. Ronson brings the same retro-soul vibe with this offering, but with a twist: various British recording artists performing covers of mostly British tunes. Check out the jazzy instrumental of Coldplay’s “God Put A Smile Upon Your Face” and Daniel Merriweather’s soulful rendition of The Smith’s “Stop Me” as it incorporates the Supremes’ “Keep Me Hangin’ On.”
