Belgian pop phenomenon Angèle returns with her electrifying new single “What You Want” featuring French electronic powerhouse duo Justice, out 27th February 2026 via Angèle VL Records / Because Music. The track arrives alongside a cinematic music video created with (LA)HORDE (Madonna, Sam Smith, Christine and the Queens), the visionary trio behind the Ballet National de Marseille.

A Global Pop Force
For Asian audiences who witnessed Angèle’s magnetic presence as the face of CHANEL’s Chance Eau Splendide fragrance—launched to acclaim in Singapore and Tokyo in 2025 with coverage across Vogue Singapore, ELLE Singapore, Grazia Singapore, and Harper’s Bazaar Malaysia—”What You Want” represents the next bold chapter in her global ascent. Following her show-stealing 2024 Paris Olympics performance alongside Phoenix and Kavinsky on “Nightcall” (which broke Shazam records), Angèle now delivers a collaboration that feels muscular without being macho, and emotionally precise while remaining dangerous.
“What You Want” hits with the kind of force and clarity that only supreme pop achieves—electronic music that unites Angèle’s featherlight, intimate pop instincts with Justice’s industrial swagger and rock-damaged grandeur.
The Collaboration
The partnership began in December 2024, when Angèle attended a Justice show in Brussels with her mother. She met them backstage, invited them to her studio, and played them a song she loved but hadn’t fully unlocked.
“I went to say hi in their dressing room after their show, which I’d loved. It was the first time we met, and we talked a lot about our careers and our creative visions,” Angèle reflects. “I spontaneously suggested they come to the studio. We spent an afternoon listening to the demos I’d been working on. I had this track, ‘What You Want,’ a slightly sultry, sensual, offbeat song I’d written. But since I wasn’t completely satisfied with it, I’d put it aside. I thought Justice could bring the electro-club expertise—and the tension—that were missing from that first version. They came back with this version that I found absolutely brilliant. They understood everything! They brought a power to the track that the intention and balance had been missing. Bringing our worlds together without losing our identities—that’s the greatest success of this song!”
Justice’s Xavier de Rosnay and Gaspard Augé share: “Spending a bit of time with Angèle confirmed the intuition we had about her: she’s an excellent musician and producer. Making ‘What You Want’ with her felt as easy as it was natural. Although her music is different from ours, the track called for something sensual and brutal that we instinctively connected with, without compromise.”
The Video
Shot in the middle of the night on an iPhone 17 Pro in the backstreets of Marseille—between a laundromat, the street, and a bar—the video extends this story of love and female empowerment in a highly cinematic way. It invites dancer Nora Monsecour into a breathless chase driven by desire, with Angèle embodying the figure who breaks taboos and prejudices along the way.
(LA)HORDE explains: “We wondered how, after the Olympic buzz around her collaboration with Phoenix and Kavinsky, a woman of her generation could make the codes of the French Touch her own—a powerful artistic movement, but also a very male-dominated one. We found it incredibly exciting to support this meeting between the fathers of electro and Angèle’s own universe.”
The iPhone 17 Pro becomes a narrative tool in its own right, serving the choreographic work imagined by (LA)HORDE, staying close to bodies and faces, following movements with fluidity while capturing the density of the night. Angèle appears, as always, commanding and magnetic—a pop star moving through the nighttime scene with grit and grace.
The Song
Singing in English and French, Angèle moves between private feeling and collective release: “What you want / I’m only / What you want / c’est pour la vie,” she purrs. Justice delivered the scale and tension, Angèle delivered the presence and sheer magnetism. Together, they made a track that feels global and entirely of the moment.
