Mark Ronson Unveils Album Artwork for 'The Record Collection'

Mmm Mmm Mmm. Mark Ronson is one good looking dude. Even when his face is created using a multi-colored patchwork effect. Still HOT. Ronson's forthcoming third album, The Record Collection, isn't out here in the States until October 5th but I don't know if I can wait that long. I might have to splurge on a UK import when it's released on September 27th. Yeah, only a few days but that's a few days too many with out Mark Ronson & The Business International. First single, the Q-Tip and MNDR assisted "Bang Bang Bang" debuted at #6 on the UK Singles Chart. Check out the AWESOME video if you haven't already. Remixes come to us from Russ Chimes, Count And Sinden and SBTRKT.  Needless to say, The Record Collection is one of my most anticipated albums this Fall.

Tracklisting:

1. Introducing The Business (featuring Pill & London Gay Men's Chorus)
2. Bang Bang Bang (featuring Q-Tip & MNDR)
3. Lose It (In The End) (featuring Ghostface Killah)
4. Circuit Breaker

Hot Video Alert: Mark Ronson & The Business INTL - Bang Bang Bang

It's finally here! New Mark Ronson! The video (directed by Warren Fu) for Mark Ronson's new single "Bang Bang Bang" featuring Q-Tip and MNDR (aka Amanda Warner) is out and it's a fantastic visual flashback to the 70s and 80s. The song is indeed "a perfect slice of bouncing synth-hop," and a good indication of what we can expect on Ronson's new album, Record Collection. Unlike 2007's Version, Record Collection is an album of entirely original material but that doesn't mean it's lacking in the collaboration department. Assiting Ronson on Record Collection we have The Business INTL, made up of a diverse array of musical talent from across the globe including D’Angelo, Boy George, Alex Greenwald, Nick Hodgson (from the Kaiser Chiefs), Ghostface, Dap Kings, Andrew Wyatt (of Miike Snow), and Wiley to name a few.

"[Bang Bang Bang is] a 3am Cote d’Azur disco beat featuring Q-Tip and MNDR that takes the French nursery rhyme “Alouette” and turns it into a Jean Michel Jarre meets NYC hip-pop sing-along.

The single’s impact date at radio’s alternative Specialty format is June 14th and the mix show format impact date is June 23rd. I'm not sure if the single will lend itself to house remixes but I'm sure we can expect some cool dubstep reinterpretations. Ronson is back and he's back with a hit.

"If ever there was a party anthem for a sticky hot summer, then this is it."
