Global dance powerhouse HUGEL has officially teamed up with hip-hop icon French Montana and Harlem legend Max B for their highly anticipated new single, 'One Night'. The track serves as a sophisticated house reimagining of the duo’s cult classic, 'Ever Since U Left Me (I Went Deaf)', transforming the original into a vibrant, late-night anthem built for global dancefloors.
Originally released during the Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos era, the source material for 'One Night' became a significant cultural moment. Driven by the signature melodic delivery of Max B and the polished hook work of French Montana, the original track captured the emotional core of their iconic “wavy” sound. It blended raw street sentiment with a hypnotic melody that resonated deeply with fans, eventually topping Shazam charts in multiple U.S. cities and accumulating over 22 million YouTube views.
In this new iteration, HUGEL injects the record with his signature Afro-Latin house energy. By layering percussive grooves, deep basslines, and euphoric builds, he successfully transforms the track into a club-ready experience while carefully preserving its emotional DNA.
Reflecting on the collaboration, HUGEL noted the personal significance of the project: “French Montana was one of the artists I looked up to growing up in France, watching everything from afar. We met at one of my shows, became friends, and this record came together naturally. Creating ‘One Night’ together really feels like a full-circle moment.”
HUGEL continues to solidify his status as a driving force in the global Afro-Latin House movement. With a catalog that surpassed 1 billion streams in 2025 alone, his ability to blend Mediterranean, tribal, and Latin influences has made him a staple of the international dance scene. Meanwhile, the partnership between French Montana and Max B remains one of the most influential in modern hip-hop, with Max B continuing to evolve his sound through his new EMG imprint.
With 'One Night', these three artists successfully bridge the gap between hip-hop legacy and modern dance culture, delivering an anthem poised to dominate festivals and airwaves worldwide.
