Mark Ronson looks to rock acts

Fri, 08 Feb 2008 02:31:52 +1100

Mark Ronson wants to work with rock stars.

The producer is keen to team up with indie and alternative acts in his search for fresh sounds and more chart-topping tracks.

He said: "I like to keep with the family and those who got me where I am. "But it's also about trying new things. So I'm trying to work with a rock band for the first time. I'm figuring that out now."

Ronson has already experimented with indie rock by covering the Kaiser Chiefs' classic 'Oh My God' and Coldplay's 'Clocks' for his album 'Version'.

His reworking of The Zutons' hit song 'Valerie' - featuring the vocals of his close friend, troubled singer Amy Winehouse - has earned him a BRIT Award nomination at this year's ceremony.

The 32-year-old musician - who has previously worked with Christina Aguilera, Lily Allen, Mary J. Blige and Robbie Williams - also revealed he is still in awe of his new-found celebrity pals.

He added to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "It's surreal to meet the people in a band you love and then all of a sudden you are performing on stage with them. I'm a huge fan of the Kaiser Chiefs and I did a cover of their song because I knew it would be a hit."
