Miss Monique and Robbie Williams release the track they kept back since July

Ukraine’s Miss Monique and Britain’s Robbie Williams have put out a joint track, Beauty In Us — released on 18 September on Cr2 Records. It is progressive house: his vocal, her production.

The release was posted on the single’s official page.

The most telling part is how the artists themselves explain this music. In a joint statement they boil the track down to two cities and two eras: the clubs of Stoke-on-Trent, where he grew up, and the clubs of Kyiv, where she did.

How the track reached release

It was first heard in public on 24 July, as the closing, twentieth track in the Miss Monique set on the Mainstage at Tomorrowland. At that point there was nowhere else to hear it.

Then on 16 August, during Carl Cox’s Sunday residency at [UNVRS] in Ibiza, Williams stepped on stage with no announcement at all and sang the track live. It was their first performance together.

“Our very special musical collaboration, inspired by different but equally defining experiences of electronic music and clubbing — in Stoke-on-Trent and Kyiv, from the nineties through the 2010s. The time feels right for it now. Playing it for the first time in Ibiza was a dream,” the artists said in a joint statement.

The track is out in three versions: a radio edit, an extended mix and a club mix. A twelve-inch vinyl pressing is also set for 20 November, on transparent neon-green plastic.

For Williams this is not a first step onto dance floors. Back in 2022 he launched the electronic project Lufthaus with producers Tim Metcalfe and Flynn Francis, and last year that project put out an album. In parallel, his own BRITPOP became in January the sixteenth UK number-one album of his career.

“Me. Tonight. UNVRS. The club. Ibiza. Miss Monique. Carl Cox. ‘Beauty In Us’ is about to be out in the world. See you there,” Williams wrote on Instagram on the day of the show.

Who is Miss Monique

Miss Monique is Alesia Arkusha from Kropyvnytskyi, a DJ and producer working in progressive house and melodic techno. She founded the label Siona Records, took a DJ Awards prize as breakthrough of the year in 2024, and last year entered the DJ Mag hundred for the first time — straight in at seventy-fifth place. This summer she held a residency in the Club Room at Hï Ibiza for the second year running.

What stands out here is not only the collaboration but the route: the track was first unveiled from the main stage at Tomorrowland, then aired in the club that topped the DJ Mag world ranking this year — and only after that released.
