On his fifth album Late Night Feelings, Mark Ronson steps away from his signature bangers to explore “honesty, heartbreak, love, lust, elation”. “It was the first time I couldn't hide behind a concept,” he tells Apple Music. Fresh on the heels of a breakup, Ronson rallied the likes of Miley Cyrus, Lykke Li, and Alicia Keys—to help plumb through personal topics previous albums danced right past. “Knock Knock Knock”, “Don’t Leave Me Lonely” and “When U Went Away” tell a moving story. “It’s the entire relationship process,” says Mark, “the hookup, the loneliness, and the healing in this three-song run.” Opening and closing tracks “Late Night Prelude” and “Spinning” were also picked deliberately. “When I start off a record, it has to be a bit of a statement—something that foreshadows the rest of the record… But heartbreak is really the prevailing theme, and I thought it would be nice to [close with] something that felt a tiny bit like the light at the end of the tunnel.” But the album’s standout track is the first song ever written for it—“Late Night Feelings”. “Lykke came up with that lyric; I loved it for the name of the album because, instead of calling it Club Heartbreak, late-night feelings can be anything really that keeps you up at night,” says Mark. “It could be heartbreak, it could be lust, it could be love, it could even be Brexit.”
