RAYE and Mark Ronson have released their first first collaboration together, ‘Suzanne’

RAYE and Mark Ronson have joined forces for the first time on new track ‘Suzanne’, released via Sony Music UK/RCA Records.

The collaboration, which features Ronson’s signature production style and a prominent horn section, was initiated by luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet, for whom both artists serve as brand ambassadors.

“I’ve admired RAYE’s artistry for years now, watching her evolution from songwriter to the powerhouse artist she’s become. When Audemars Piguet brought us together through their APxMusic program, it felt like the stars were aligning at exactly the right moment,” Ronson says. “This collaboration isn’t just another project – it’s something we’ve poured ourselves into completely…all night tracking sessions in London, New York and Los Angeles. The music we’ve created together carries both our musical DNA but takes us somewhere neither of us would have reached alone.”

RAYE adds: “Everything about how this song came to exist, and this moment with Mark and AP, feels meant to be. I used to work in Mark Ronson’s London studio when I was a baby artist focusing on my songwriting craft, and always dreamed of the day I could one day work with the musical genius that is Ronson. From the feeling in my heart that the song should be called ‘Suzanne’ within minutes of hearing the music Mark created, to learning of Suzanne Audemars and the joy I feel in my bones whenever I play this song in my headphones, the overwhelming consensus of emotions is gratitude and pride.”

The pair have also collaborated on ‘Grandma Calls The Boy Bad News’, which will feature on the upcoming F1 THE ALBUM soundtrack.
