Amazon Review:
On Version, British-born, New York-bred DJ Mark Ronson cocks a sideways
glance at some of the bigger UK chart hits of the last few years, plus
a couple of old favourites. Formerly producer for an all-star cast that
includes Lily Allen, Christina Aguilera, Robbie Williams, and Amy
Winehouse, here Ronson has cajoled some of his famous mates into
repaying the favour. The result? An album of A-list karaoke that at
times, struggles to transcend its novelty, but nonetheless throws up
some fun reversions. The uniting factor is Ronson's band - a
live-sounding band augmented with trumpets, saxophones, piano and
strings which, to its credit, puts enough of a stamp on the material
that no single artist steals the show. And that's quite a feat, as
there's some big names here. Lily Allen tackles the Kaiser Chiefs' "Oh
My God" with her token gum-chewing insouciance. Amy Winehouse proves
The Zutons' "Valerie" was always meant to be a strings-swept Motown
stomp. And Tiggers and the late Ol' Dirty Bastard tackle Britney's
"Toxic" (although few Wu-Tang fans will be surprised just how far ODB
wanders off script). But the most significant misstep? Robbie's take on
The Charlatans' "The Only One I Know", an unexpectedly drab remake that
serves best to remind you how good the original is.
