A.G. Cook has been a prominent figure in the electronic dance music scene in the UK for more than ten years. One of his early breakthroughs was the song “Beautiful,” which made its debut in 2013 as part of his label PC Music’s Tank Mix. In 2014, Cook officially released the first version of “Beautiful” as a hyperpop dance track. The song later became the lead track on PC Music’s debut compilation album, PC Music, Vol. 1, a year after its initial release.

Now, as “Beautiful” reaches its tenth anniversary, A.G. Cook has released an updated version of the song. The three-minute track features a pitched-up voice singing the lyrics, “Beautiful / Baby, when you look at me, you know that I’ll be here forever / Baby, when I look at you, I know that we’ll be here together.”
Coincidentally, 2023 also marks the tenth anniversary of PC Music, the label founded by A.G. Cook. Over the past decade, the label has been home to several artists, including Hannah Diamond, GFOTY, Danny L Harle, EASYFUN, and Namasenda. However, Cook announced on Instagram in June that PC Music would no longer release original music after the end of the year. Instead, the label will focus on archival projects and special reissues starting from 2024.
