In the solid Late Night Feelings, sadness is more than an abstraction here: it's multifaceted, multilayered and mellifluous melancholy.
It’s brilliant: unsettlingly off-balance with singles that shouldn’t be singles; production that crackles through ebullient torch songs with familiar crests and high ecstasies.
Ronson’s ability to tap into each artist’s strengths and dig out their particular prowess allows each voice to shine through and own each individual track.
Night Feelings is his sharpest, sturdiest effort yet, made so by its cohesive, downer-dance sound and its hip slate of all-female featured vocalists.
Overall, this is one of Ronson's best works -- a complete pop album.
Ronson's fifth album of "sad bangers" is a mixed bag of brilliant pop songs and sleepy filler tracks.
‘Late Night Feelings’ is the last dance at the disco, as romances are made and dreams are broken; at least with Mark at the helm, you know the playlist’s in good hands.
'Sad bangers' served with a dollop of sauce.
The emotional cohesion the record loses in its shifting cast of singers/songwriters/genres it makes up in DJ-savvy textural variety.
These carefully structured moments make Late Night Feelings Ronson’s most cohesive and strongest album. These feelings sound perfect late at night and they will last way beyond.
Feelings all goes down easily, but Ronson’s own creative DNA remains a mystery. This isn’t his manifesto; it’s a mixtape.
It is ... a worthy entry in this still-developing pop pantheon, authentic and honest in its rendering of many shades of feminine sorrow.
It innovates a little here and there, but the strength of Late Night Feelings comes largely from the relief it provides.
Late Night Feelings is a very listenable album with some excellent highlights, but a grand and new sonic statement it is not.
Rangy, sexy and fairly seamless, an LP to play all the way through after a night of clubbing if you happen get lucky, or if you don’t.
Ronson’s Achilles heel is, as ever, making everything feel as if it’s been endlessly worked on: his obsessional qualities can cloud the magic of the best pop. But equally, that craft is what songs blaring from iPhones sometimes lack.
Late Night Feelings finds him abandoning the retro fetishism that has dominated his career to date, completely immersed in late-2010s pop trends, with mixed results.
I admit, I've never been a fan or an avid listener of this guy's produced work but this one caught me by surprise. Working with other artists could be a tricky affair but he treads it with ease as these tracks glides in color, buoyed with emotions. You won me with this one, Mark.
Ronson has crafted, a series of vignettes I certainty didn't know he could still weave, laced with "late night feelings "of summer love coming to different ends, different moments its a great collective piece of music that is tinged with universal feelings and pop constructs you can see every track here sound-tracked by lonely and quiet summer places filled with night and a syncopation that makes you want to move with heartbreak, it isn't anything new and it's appeal will wash away ... read more
Production is amazing but fells flat over repetitive rhythms and by-the-numbers songwriting.
Decent 5
so rare is it to see a DJ release a personal album at all, let alone detailing the demise of his marriage. gorgeously produced, as expected, but full of emotion and honesty (especially toward the latter end)
have held this record close to my heart for a number of years and every time i come back it sounds as fresh as first listen - i wish more people appreciated it
existe tempos na indústria musical onde um certo tipo de sonoridade toma conta da indústria e dita a tendência a ser seguida pelos seus artistas durante um tempo de validade de 5 anos, assim como um produtor vira o queridinho dos artistas e permanece sendo ordenhado até não conseguirem extrair mais nada dele. E este é mais um exemplo de ambos
Mark Ronson sempre foi bem mais conhecido em uma pequena bolha mesmo tendo produzido Back To Black da Amy ... read more
