In a recent interview with Grammy.com, Mark Ronson shared some thoughts about his past collaborations. He specifically mentioned his work on the track ‘Alligator’ from Paul McCartney’s 2013 album, ‘New,’ and the advice he received from the former Beatle during its production, saying:

“He definitely gives you a day to f**k up and be an idiot because you’re just so nervous to be in the studio with McCartney. By the second day, it’s like, ‘Okay, get your s**t together.'”

About his suggestions, he went on:

“I remember running around just like, ‘What sound can I find for Paul McCartney that every other amazing producer who ever recorded him [hasn’t found already]?’ He was like, ‘Anybody can record a pristine acoustic guitar. Give me something with some characteristic that’s iconic. That feels like someone just put the needle down on track one on an album.’ That’s something I always try to remember: don’t just make it sound like a guitar, make it sound like a record.”

After their collaboration on ‘New,’ McCartney and Ronson worked together on a television project. The 81-year-old singer made guest appearances on a few episodes of the 2021 series ‘Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson.’

In an interview with The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that year, the DJ mentioned that Paul McCartney also shared some songwriting ideas with him during a phone call following the show’s release. Then, he recalled what happened after the call ended as follows:

“I look at my phone, and there is a voice recording on my phone from Paul McCartney. He sang a little bit of this song to tell me to go make the song, ‘I’m in love and I’m happy.’ It’s crazy; I’m dropping it on Spotify on Friday, I mean Apple Music. [Laughs]”

Dua Lipa recently shared a new song titled ‘Dance The Night’ as the lead single for the ‘Barbie’ soundtrack. After the song was out, DJ Mark Ronson celebrated the release with an Instagram post. As Ronson revealed in the post’s caption, he contacted Lipa via DMs to convince her to work on the song.

Mark Ronson’s Instagram post read:

“It started with a DM. So over the moon excited that our song from this incredible movie is finally out today. Produced with my brothers in song, Andrew Wyatt and Picard Brothers, and written with Caroline Ailin.”

In the post, Ronson shared a screenshot of his message to Dua Lipa. The message read:

“Hey! I’m doing the songs for the ‘Barbie’ movie with Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken. It’s directed by Greta Gerwig (‘Little Women,’ ‘Ladybird’) and may be the funniest script I’ve ever read. There’s a song with a huge 60-person dance number with the whole cast — I only have the track so far, as they started rehearsals, but I would f*cking love it if you would consider co-writing and starring on it. I honestly think the movie is going to be incredible. If you’re interested, I’ll send you a little video of them all rehearsing, so you can see the scope of it all.”

On May 25, Ronson tweeted a picture of Margot Robbie as Barbie, holding a newspaper that shows the artists that will be featured in the upcoming ‘Barbie’ soundtrack. According to the picture, ‘Barbie: The Album‘ will feature artists like Ava Max, Dua Lipa, Khalid, Lizzo, Nicki Minaj, Ryan Gosling, and Tame Impala. The soundtrack will be out on July 21, the same day as the movie.
