In a move that lands somewhere between audacious and outright unhinged, Fcukers have delivered a full-bodied reimagining of Angèle and Justice’s “What You Want,” out now via Angèle VL Records and Because Music. This isn’t a remix in the traditional sense. It doesn’t tweak the edges or polish what’s already there. It tears the track open and rebuilds it from the inside out.
Shanny’s newly added vocals shift the center of gravity entirely. Where the original leaned into contrast, airy vocals against harder production, this version destabilizes that balance on purpose. The result is heavier, more volatile, and far less interested in restraint. It trades polish for tension, turning the track into something that feels immediate and slightly dangerous.
The original version of “What You Want” was already a standout, pulling listeners into a tightly constructed world of sleek production and controlled emotion. Billboard noted the push and pull between softness and edge. Fcukers take that dynamic and push it further, stripping away the control and letting the emotion bleed out in real time.
It lands at a moment when Angèle’s catalog is expanding outward. Over the past decade, she has moved from regional phenomenon to global force, beginning with Brol and its defining cultural moments, then evolving through Nonante-Cinq, where her writing sharpened and her sound widened. Collaborations like “Fever” with Dua Lipa pushed her into a broader international spotlight, while her recent performances and fashion crossover have cemented her presence well beyond music.
“What You Want” feels like part of that shift. In its original form, it hinted at something darker beneath the surface. In Fcukers’ hands, that darkness becomes the point.
For Fcukers, the track fits neatly into their trajectory. Emerging out of New York’s downtown scene, they’ve built momentum quickly, translating chaotic, high-intensity live energy into a growing global audience. Their work thrives in that blurred space between electronic, punk, and pop, where structure starts to fall apart just enough to feel alive.
This version of “What You Want” doesn’t just reinterpret the original. It challenges it. It asks what happens when you remove the safety net entirely, and then leans into whatever answers come back.
