Mark Ronson and RAYE team up on summer hit ‘Suzanne’
The song is being released in collaboration with Audemars Piguet to celebrate 150 years of the watchmaking brand
Mark Ronson and RAYE have shared a new collaborative single – listen to the summery hit ‘Suzanne’ below.
The new song is being released alongside Audemars Piguet as part of the APxMusic series, celebrating 150 years of the watchmaking brand.
“I’ve admired RAYE’s artistry for years now, watching her evolution from songwriter to the powerhouse artist she’s become,” Ronson said. “When Audemars Piguet brought us together through their APxMusic program, it felt like the stars aligning at exactly the right moment.”
He added: “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 said: “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.”
Later this summer, RAYE will headline All Points East in London’s Victoria Park at a show also featuring Doechii, JADE and more.
