Video Premiere: Mark Ronson - Uptown Funk ft. Bruno Mars
Grammy-winning producer Mark Ronson returns to the music spotlight with an accompanying music video for yet another instant hit, entitled "Uptown Funk" featuring guest vocals from his frequent collaborator, the multitalented Bruno Mars. The song was written by Mark Ronson and Jeff Bhasker together with Bruno Mars and Philip Lawrence. The infectious upbeat-funk track was produced by the 39-year-old British record producer, Mark Ronson over the course of 7 months while Bruno Mars was on tour. It was recorded in many different studios spanning Los Angeles, Toronto, London, Vancouver, Memphis and New York City. "Uptown Funk" serves as the lead single taken from Mark Ronson's fourth studio album 'Uptown Special', released on January 13, 2015 in the US and January 19, 2015 in the UK on RCA Records.
The retro-styled music video was directed by Bruno Mars and Cameron Duddy and filmed in many cities where Mars was touring including the 20th Century Fox New York street backlot in Los Angeles, California. The fun clip works well with the joyous single as it follows Bruno Mars and his crew with Mark Ronson in the background as they dance on the streets wearing brightly colored suits and chains reminiscent of the street-clearing dance routines of '80s funkdom. Needless to say, the clip is pure entertainment. Don't believe me, just watch!

[Verse 1]
This hit, that ice cold

Make a dragon wanna retire man
