The following Alligator has a discontented kind of vibe and is a track that really works because Mark Ronson has a good understanding of when to push the synth layers forward in the mix and when to sit back and let McCartney’s songwriting breathe. It races along like some coked-up ‘80s driving tune, feeling a little overbearing in the verse but relaxing into the chorus, which plays with some nice harmonic overtones. The album kicks off with Save Us, which has an urgency that initially startles me. If anything though, the youth of the producers – relative to McCartney, at least – has allowed for some rather contemporary-sounding manifestations of the songwriter’s formulas. In a way the album feels like a showcase of the abilities of these men, each one vying to show what he can do with a Paul McCartney song, but there’s no subverting the distinctive melodic style or vocal tone of the original artist. The former Beatle apparently couldn’t settle on any one producer for this record, and instead split the job four ways between Paul Epworth, Mark Ronson, Giles Martin and Ethan Johns.
