Quincy Jones and Amy Winehouse "It's My Party"

"It's my party and I'll cry if I want to," Amy Winehouse soulfully slurs in a remake of Lesley Gore's 1963 hit. But, is her drawl the product of creative spin or the side effect of her semi-synthetic highs? Either way, the re-interpretation produced by Mark Ronson and off Quncy Jones's forthcoming album Q: Soul Bossa Nostra shimmers with a fresh take on the era.

Look out for Quincy Jones's Q: Soul Bossa Nostra featuring Akon, Jamie Foxx, John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige and others on November 9th.

Mark Ronson feat. D'angelo "Glass Mountain Trust"

I said a while back that Mark Ronson pulled D’angelo out of hibernation, but nowadays people don’t believe jack until the audio stream hits the internet. So here’s “Glass Mountain Trust” off of Ronson’s Record Collection LP due September 28^th. The grapevine is also saying that the British producer will collaborate on Mr. Brown Sugar’s long awaited third studio album. Hopefully, it won’t be long until we have cyberspace goodies from that project as well.

First Lauryn Hill puts out a new single , and now—after ten years—D’angelo is crawling out of the R&B crypt to record his third album. Word has it that the Grammy winning singer has been in the studio working on his album and is teaming up with UK producer Mark Ronson (of Amy Winehouse “Back to Black” fame). The two already got together to record “Glass Mountain Trust” a synthy track for Ronson’s Record Collection album due September 28th.
