In a meeting of creative forces, Mark Ronson and RAYE have released their highly-anticipated collaboration ‘Suzanne’, a track that blends vintage charm with contemporary soul. Written by Ronson, RAYE, Tommy Brenneck and Eric Hagstrom, and produced by Ronson with co-production from Brenneck, the single is a lush, horn-laced ballad that evokes the elegance of a late-night supper club performance.
Their partnership was born through Audemars Piguet’s APxMusic series, celebrating the watchmaker’s 150th anniversary. The song’s rich, nostalgic feel is the result of months of transatlantic sessions in London, New York, and Los Angeles, as the duo fused their respective styles into something distinctively collaborative.
“I’ve admired RAYE’s artistry for years,” says Ronson. “This isn’t just another project – it’s something we’ve poured ourselves into completely.”
RAYE, reflecting on the track’s emotional resonance, adds: “The moment I heard the music, I just knew the song had to be called ‘Suzanne’. From the history of Suzanne Audemars to the feeling in my heart when I play this song – it’s all come together in a way that feels fated.”
