Mark Ronson 'Record Collection' Album Overview With Rolling Stone

Doing pre-production with the Dap-Kings while working in Brooklyn, album appearances with Ghostface and Q-Tip, learning about 70's and 80's synth sounds from Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran, sounds like Mark Ronson's upcoming album Record Collection will offer something new to serve everyones musical taste.

via Rolling Stone

Producer Mark Ronson stepped out of his comfort zone for his upcoming album Record Collection: In addition to relocating the recording from his native London to Brooklyn, Record Collection finds Ronson penning original tracks and not updating covers like he did on his previous solo album Version. He also swapped out the soul and brass sounds he's become known for with vintage synthesizer hooks, and even steps in front of the microphone for a pair of songs. "I kind of didn't mind the way my voice sounded," Ronson tells Rolling Stone in the Fall Fashion showcase in our latest issue.

Go behind the scenes of Ronson's fashion shoot in exclusive footage above, which also features his Business Intl. collaborators Alex Greenwald of Phantom Planet, Rose Dougall and up-and-comer Amanda "MNDR" Warner, who features on Ronson's summer hit "Bang Bang Bang." In the video, Ronson talks about his Duran Duran-inspired shift to a synth-heavy sound, his fast-paced jet-set lifestyle and working with Q-Tip, Ghostface Killah and Spank Rock along with Brit icons like Duran Duran's Simon LeBon and Boy George on Record Collection, due out this fall.

'Takers' Staring Chris Brown, T.I. Hollywood Movie Premiere Red Carpet

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- "Takers" is an action film that revolves around a group of criminals, and two of its stars have dealt very publicly with their own crimes.

Chris Brown pled guilty to one count of felony assault on his ex-girlfriend, singer Rihanna, and T.I. served time in jail for weapons possession.

The two men are now back in the spotlight, but this time under much better circumstances.

"Takers" is a cops and robbers heist film that takes place in L.A.

Idris Elba is among the ensemble cast.

"It's a great action film," Elba says. "It has great characters in it, lots of men being men, lots of explosions and it's a good laugh. There's some humor in it."

Chris Brown is one of the film's stars and an executive producer on the project.

At this world premiere, he wasn't interested in talking, so I asked Brown's co-star, Michael Ealy, to talk about him.

"He's got so much energy and his personality was just infectious on set," Ealy says.

"He's a good kid," Ealy added. "He made a mistake, but he's a good kid."

Clifford "T.I." Harris, who's had a lot of legal trouble in the past, is now looking ahead.

"I believe this entire year represents a new beginning for me," T.I. says. "I'm very proud to embark on a new journey."

"Snoop Dogg, as the representative of the hip hop community, is very pleased with Chris Brown, T.I. and the rest of the staff for what they've done and what they're doing to correct their situations and make it a better life," says Snoop Dogg in the third person.

"If Hollywood will have me, I definitely plan on spending as much time here as possible," T.I. says.
