Ronson gets original with cover stars

By | Published on Thursday 4 February 2010

Mark Ronson has revealed that while his forthcoming new album, ‘The Business’, will feature no cover versions, it does feature collaborations with many of the artists whose songs he reworked on his 2007 LP, ‘Versions’. Oh, and the trumpets are all gone, too.

Speaking to the NME, Ronson explained: “There’s no covers, and no horns. It’s written with some of the people that actually wrote the songs I covered on the last album and that I didn’t actually even know at the time.It’s quite interesting to write songs from scratch with those people, like Dave McCabe of The Zutons who wrote ‘Valerie’, and Nick Hodgson of Kaiser Chiefs”.

Other guests on the album include Santigold, Scissor Sisters, Cathy Dennis, rapper Pill and Miike Snow. Asked when it would be released, Mark said: “Probably May, June. Depends how quick I can get it done”.
