[Listen Up] 2 Days in a row Mark Ronson leaks tracks from upcoming record - 'Daffodils (feat. Kevin Parker of Tame Impala)'

I just want to share great music, that's all! Please release a high quality version from an official source and I'll repost that!

Mark Ronson and Tame Impala's Kevin Parker have teamed up for "Daffodils", which appears on Ronson's forthcoming album Uptown Special. It premiered this afternoon on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show. Listen to it above, via Stereogum. Update 11/11 7:15 AM EST: A higher-quality version has surfaced. Listen above.

The album is out January 27, 2015. Parker sings on three songs, and contributes instrumentation to several others. Somewhat randomly, most of the album's lyrics were written by novelist Michael Chabon. (When you've won a Pulitzer you can do whatever you want, it seems.) Hudson Mohawke, Miike Snow's Andrew Wyatt, and Simian Mobile Disco's James Ford also contributed to the album. 

Earlier yesterday, Ronson released his single "Uptown Funk", which features Bruno Mars. (No Chabon didn't write the lyrics for this one.) You can listen to that one HERE. 

The Black Keys To Release New Single, "Fever"

The Black Keys will release a new song, "Fever"-- their first new single since 2011's El Camino-- on Monday March 24, Revolt reports.

In the time since El Camino's release, the Black Keys have stayed busy. Dan Auerbach, as previously reported, is working on Lana Del Rey's forthcoming record, Ultraviolence. He's also worked with JEFF the Brotherhood and Ray LaMontagne, in addition to winning a Grammy for Producer of the Year (Non-Classical) in 2013. 

Patrick Carney, meanwhile, produced Tennis' Young and Old, and co-produced the Black Lips' recent album, Underneath the Rainbow. He and Auerbach also toured with the Flaming Lips, hung out on "The Colbert Report", and recently performed at the soon-to-close Roseland Ballroom in honor of Super Bowl XLVIII.

The Black Keys won three Grammys in 2013: two for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song for "Lonely Boy", and one for Best Rock Album for El Camino.

No further album plans have been announced at this time.
