The first time i heard of Mark Ronson was when my husband told me about him and how good he was. So i thought ok i'll have a listen and see what i think. Glad i did as he is amazing.

Mark Daniel Ronson was born on 4th September , 1975 and is a English Brit Award and three-time Grammy award winning music producer, artist and co-founder of Allido Records. His debut album Here Comes the Fuzz, was based on the sounds of American hip hop. It included songs with Sean Paul, Nate Dogg and Ghostface Killah but it failed to make a real impact whenit was in the charts.

His second album, Version, focused on the British music scene, with covers of songs by the likes of Radiohead, Maxïmo Park, The Smiths, The Zutons and Kaiser Chiefs. The album includes three top ten hits and won Ronson a BRIT Award for Best Male Artist 2008. He is the first person to win a BRIT award who does not sing on the actual recordings.

Tracklist

1. God Put a Smile upon Your Face (featuring Daptone Horns) - Originally by Coldplay - 3:12
This is an upbeat song that gets you jigging. I do like the original but this is much better. Good start to the album. Lots of saxophone and trumpets etc.

2. Oh My God (featuring Lily Allen) - Originally by Kaiser Chiefs - 3:35
I love this song. Lily Allen is great. Very catchy tune.

3. Stop Me (featuring Daniel Merriweather) - Originally by The Smiths - 3:53
I had this song in my head straight away and would find myself wanting to listen to it all the time. Great vocals from Merriweather.Also very catchy.My favourite track.

3. Toxic (featuring Tiggers) - Originally by Britney Spears - 4:05
Tiggers does a fine job in this track. Again very easy to listen to and makes you tap your feet.

4. Valerie (featuring Amy Winehouse) - Originally by The Zutons - 3:39
This is a well known track and probably one of the best on the album. Much better version and Amy Winehouse is fantastic. Im not really much of a fan of hers but she is great. It will have you bopping in no time!

5. Apply Some Pressure (featuring Paul Smith of Maxïmo Park) - Originally by Maxïmo Park - 3:36
I love this song.Really upbeat and groovy. Lots of saxophone.Its great.

6.Inversion - 1:47

7. Pretty Green (featuring Santogold) - Originally by The Jam - 3:16
Good song. I actually thought it was featuring the Ting Tings when i first heard it. Another catchy number.

8. Just" (featuring Phantom Planet) - Originally by Radiohead - 5:20
Easy to listen to. This did quite well in the charts.

9. AMY (featuring Kenna) - Originally by Ryan Adams - 3:32
Sounds a bit like a a hippy song but it is quite good. Funky i would call it.


10.The Only One I Know (featuring Robbie Williams) - Originally by The Charlatans - 3:59
Not a bad song but Robbies vocals are a little too quiet for me.

11. Diversion - 1:19

12. L.S.F. (featuring Kasabian) - Originally by Kasabian - 3:30
Good finish to the album. A good upbeat track.

13. Outversion - 1:50

This album was released on 16th April 2007 and has been a great success. Overall, the album has spent 45 weeks in the UK Top 75, with 10 weeks in the top 10. In December 2007, the album was certified double platinum in the UK for sales of over 600,000 copies.

I loved this album so much and even took my husband to watch his first ever UK version gig in Plymouth on 14th feb 2008 for his birthday, which was absolutely fantastic. I really enjoyed all the tracks and it is still one of most favourite albums which i listen to in my car!

A great buy!

This is a good album. I still prefer the original Smiths version of 'stop me' though.
