DJ/Producer Mark Ronson has just released his second full-length, Version. You may know his name from previous eponymous remix fame or production work for Nikka Costa, Christina Aguilera, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, and Robbie Williams.
Ronson's album, is a interesting pop hybrid of remakes, covers, collaborations, samples, and mash-ups Featured guests include, Lily Allen, Kasabian, Phanton Planet, Ryan Adams, and more covering some by the likes of The Smiths, Maxïmo Park, The Zutons, Coldplay and Britney Spears.
This kind of album has been done before, and well, by remixer/producer Richard X. Whereas the Richard X's centered on re-purposing Eighties songs with British R'N'B act's vocals; Ronson targets an rockier assortment of Indie collaborators while still keeping a mind to his dj/club beginnings.
