He said he wanted to be one of the biggest DJs in the world: HUGEL has teamed up with David Guetta for the first time
‘Think Of Me’ carries on the line of his global hit ‘I Adore You’.
HUGEL has joined forces with David Guetta for the first time — together with Kehlani and Daecolm they have released the single ‘Think Of Me’.
Rave Jungle reported it.
The track moves straight into dreamy, groove-filled territory: HUGEL’s signature Latin and Afro-infused beats carry the vocals of Kehlani and Daecolm, while Guetta adds euphoric drops and bright synths that deliver unexpected bursts of energy.
The single came out as Afro house on Intercord Records.
He writes music in airports
The pace at which HUGEL puts out releases he once explained simply: most ideas are born on the road.
“Well anytime I’ve got a delay at the airport, I start working on a new track on my laptop, and as we’ve had lots of delays I’ve had lots of opportunities to work on new music,” he said.
For the Frenchman it is a logical follow-up to his 2024 global hit ‘I Adore You’, the track that made his name recognisable well beyond the club scene.
Daecolm is the common denominator
One name carries over from track to track: Daecolm also sang on ‘I Adore You’, which HUGEL made with Topic and Arash. ‘Think Of Me’ repeats the move — only with Guetta instead of Topic and Arash, and Kehlani alongside.
The line-up says a lot: Guetta is a GRAMMY winner, Kehlani a multi-platinum vocalist, and both are working in a format that is not natively theirs, adjusting to HUGEL’s rhythm rather than the other way round.
A goal he named out loud two years earlier
The Frenchman talked about this level of collaboration back in the summer of 2023, in an interview with EDM House Network, when he was asked about his plans.
“My goal is to become one of the biggest DJs in the world and to keep touring all over the world,” he said at the time.
We reported earlier that HUGEL released ‘una noche con hugel’ with a Venezuelan duo.
