Mark Ronson and RAYE come together on “Suzanne,” a lush, horn-filled release created as part of Audemars Piguet’s APxMusic series celebrating the brand’s 150th anniversary. Written by Ronson, RAYE, Tommy Brenneck, and Eric Hagstrom, and produced by Ronson with co-production from Brenneck, the track is as much a mood as it is a masterclass in collaboration.

The song exudes a supper club elegance, led by a horn section that transports listeners into a timeless space. But beneath the polish lies real emotion—crafted during intensive sessions in London, New York, and Los Angeles.

“I’ve admired RAYE’s artistry for years,” shares Mark Ronson. “When Audemars Piguet brought us together…it felt like the stars aligning.”

He adds, “This collaboration isn’t just another project—it’s something we’ve poured ourselves into completely.”

For RAYE, the journey is deeply personal. “Everything about how this song came to exist…feels meant to be. I used to work in Mark Ronson’s studio when I was a baby artist.”

She continues, “From the moment I heard the music, I knew it should be called ‘Suzanne.’ Learning about Suzanne Audemars, and playing this song in my headphones, fills me with gratitude and pride.”

“Suzanne” is available now—an elegant, emotionally rich entry into both artists’ repertoires.
