Mark Ronson preparing “melancholy” new album
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 28 November 2018
Markie Mark Ronson will be back with another funky bunch of tunes in the near future. But you shouldn’t expect another ‘Uptown Funk’, these songs will all be sad.
That’s a result of the people who he decided to collaborate with this time, he tells the BBC. “More so than choosing a person for a musical style”, he explains, “they were all like-minded people, or people who were going through some traumatic personal stuff”.
It wasn’t that he didn’t try to make some more chirpy tracks, he adds: “I tried doing some other music … but the only stuff that started to stick was the stuff that moved me and made me feel melancholy. Once I had two or three of those, I started to see all this as an album”.
The album’s first single, Miley Cyrus collaboration ‘Nothing Breaks Like A Heart’, is set to come out tomorrow.
