Mark Ronson and RAYE release “Suzanne,” a timeless track born from APxMusic’s artist series.
Mark Ronson and RAYE have joined forces on “Suzanne,” a striking new collaboration born through Audemars Piguet’s APxMusic series. The track marks a meeting of two musical minds and delivers a refined blend of classic charm and modern artistry.
Co-written by Mark, RAYE, Tommy Brenneck, and Eric Hagstrom, and co-produced by Mark and Tommy, “Suzanne” leans into a vintage supper club sound, lifted by an expressive horn section that brings the melody to life. Elegant and timeless, the single carries the hallmarks of both artists while offering a fresh direction unique to their union.
The collaboration was sparked by their shared connection to luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet, where both serve as brand ambassadors. As part of AP’s 150th-anniversary celebrations, “Suzanne” becomes a musical centerpiece of the APxMusic initiative. 
“I’ve admired RAYE’s artistry for years now, watching her evolution from songwriter to the powerhouse artist she’s become,” says Mark Ronson. “When Audemars Piguet brought us together…it felt like the stars aligning.”
“This collaboration isn’t just another project—it’s something we’ve poured ourselves into completely,” he adds, reflecting on sessions across London, New York, and Los Angeles.
RAYE shares, “Everything about how this song came to exist…and this moment with Mark and AP, feels meant to be.”
With its elegant tone and heartfelt inspiration, “Suzanne” serves as both a tribute to timeless music and a moment of artistic fulfillment for two of today’s most admired talents.
