Mark Ronson and RAYE have dropped their first-ever collaboration, the sultry, big‑band inspired track “Suzanne”, now available via Sony Music UK/RCA.
Why it’s special:
Jazz-pop glow: A lush production brimming with warm analog instrumentation—horns, strings and a groovy beat—highlighting RAYE’s velvet vocals over Ronson’s retro-modern sonic palette .
A serendipitous title: The name “Suzanne” honors Suzanne Audemars, a pivotal yet little-known figure behind the Audemars Piguet watch dynasty—fitting, as the song was born through the brand’s APxMusic initiative celebrating its 150th anniversary.
Artist insights:
Mark Ronson says he’s long admired RAYE’s rise:
“I’ve admired RAYE’s artistry for years… when Audemars Piguet brought us together…it felt like the stars aligning.”
- RAYE, reflecting on their creative journey, adds:
“Everything about how this song came to exist…feels meant to be. I used to work in Mark Ronson’s London studio… always dreamed of the day I could… work with the musical genius that is Ronson.”
What’s next:
“Suzanne” is out now and streaming worldwide.
A second track, “Grandma Calls the Boy Bad News”, produced by Ronson for an upcoming F1 film soundtrack, will drop later this month.
RAYE is also readying a follow-up to her 2023 album My 21st Century Blues, despite facing setbacks like the theft of her songwriting journals.
Press play on “Suzanne” for an atmospheric blend of vintage jazz and modern storytelling—an ideal summer anthem. We’ll keep you in the loop with the next Ronson/RAYE release and RAYE’s upcoming album plans, right here on Radio 854.
