Mark Ronson: We were trying to make fun tunes in the studio, but it all turned out sad

"We were trying to make fun tunes in the studio. I wasn't even aware right away that I was channelling my divorce, either — I just kind of had this overwhelming sense of melancholy that seemed to seep into this music" - producer and songwriter Mark Ronson tells Exclaim in an interview about his latest album 'Late Night Feeling'. "At the same time it was kind of exciting for me. It was like wait, what's up with these chords? And why are things sounding a little bit deeper and more meaningful than normal?" - he adds. On the album it'a all women guest stars - Miley Cyrus, Camila Cabello, Alicia Keys, YEBBA, Angel Olsen, King Princess. Now that it's out Ronson has been DJing at pop-up parties, dubbed 'Club Heartbreak,' to spread his newfound vibe around.
