Global dance powerhouse HUGEL has teamed up with hip-hop icon French Montana and Harlem legend Max B for their highly anticipated new single, 'One Night'. The record serves as a sophisticated house reimagining of the duo's cult classic, 'Ever Since U Left Me (I Went Deaf)', transforming the original hip-hop staple into a vibrant, late-night anthem designed for global dancefloors.
Originally released during the Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos era, the original track became a significant cultural moment. It was defined by Max B’s signature melodic delivery and French Montana’s polished hook work, blending raw street sentiment with a hypnotic, "wavy" sound. The track's organic surge—marked by over 22 million YouTube views and a #2 spot on U.S. Rhythmic Radio—solidified the enduring chemistry between the two artists.
In this new iteration, HUGEL injects the foundation with his unmistakable Afro-Latin house energy. By layering percussive grooves, deep basslines, and euphoric builds, he successfully translates the emotional DNA of the original into a modern, club-ready experience.
“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
This collaboration arrives at a pivotal time for all involved. HUGEL continues to lead the global Afro-Latin House movement, having surpassed 1 billion streams in 2025 alone. Meanwhile, French Montana remains a dominant force in hip-hop, and Max B continues to evolve his legacy through his EMG imprint. Together, they have crafted a cross-genre anthem that bridges the gap between hip-hop heritage and contemporary dance culture.
