Video Premiere: Mark Ronson ''Stop Me''

''Stop Me,'' featuring Australian crooner Daniel Merriweather collaborating with British-born NYC-based DJ and producer Mark Ronson.

There's not much Mark Ronson can do wrong. With his contemporary take on '60s soul and R&B, the British-born NYC-based DJ and producer is single-handedly responsible for bringing a whole new vibe to the global pop charts. He produced some of today's hottest artists, including Amy Winehouse, Robbie Williams and Lily Allen. And his handsome looks even landed him a gig as a spokesmodel for fashion house DKNY.

Over the last few months, Ronson has been working on his own artist album "Versions." First single taken from the record is his cover of The Smiths' "Stop Me Before You Think You've Heard This One Before." The disc also includes covers of Britney Spears' "Toxic" and Coldplay's "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face."

Featuring Australian crooner Daniel Merriweather, "Stop Me" includes Ronson's signature rhythmic and hook-laden, horn-heavy production style. He even included a little Supremes snippet at the end to conclude on a sweet note. "Stop Me" is so incredibly hot that it sizzles. Listen and love. One of my favorites tunes of the year so far.
