"This is why, ever since “Uptown” dropped two months ago, I've found it ironic to see so many bloggers, critics, and friends of mine calling it a ready-made smash. Sure, it sounds like an instantly familiar chart-topper to us now. But 'Uptown Funk!' is to vintage electro-R&B in 2015 what 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' or 'Basket Case' were in the early '90s to vintage punk: a catch-up. It's a penance by America for not making an irresistible style the pop success it deserved to be the first time around."
