French hitmaker HUGEL continues his global crossover run with “Temptation,” a new collaboration featuring Grammy-nominated R&B artist Bryson Tiller.
Released on July 10 via Make The Girls Dance Records, the single arrives shortly after HUGEL’s debut album, Twenty One, entered Spotify’s Top Albums chart at No. 1. “Temptation” will also serve as the first single from a special edition of the album. This special edition is expected to arrive later this year.

HUGEL Connects Latin House With R&B
“Temptation” brings together HUGEL’s Latin House production style and Bryson Tiller’s smooth, instantly recognizable vocals.
The track is driven by warm piano chords, soulful melodies, polished percussion, and a laid-back groove that sits between summer radio music and late-night club territory.
Rather than placing an R&B vocal over a traditional dance instrumental, the collaboration creates a more balanced crossover sound. Tiller’s vocal delivery becomes a central part of the record’s atmosphere.
The result is a sleek and seductive track that feels accessible enough for mainstream playlists. At the same time, it maintains the rhythmic identity that has defined HUGEL’s recent releases.

The First Release From the Special Edition of Twenty One
“Temptation” opens the next chapter of HUGEL’s debut album campaign.
The original edition of Twenty One brought together artists from dance music, hip-hop, Latin music, and global pop. It featured appearances from David Guetta, French Montana, Big Sean, Snoop Dogg, and Tokischa.
The upcoming special edition is expected to expand that collaborative direction, with “Temptation” offering the first look at the project.
HUGEL has increasingly positioned himself as a link between electronic music and the wider pop world. He uses Latin House as the foundation for collaborations with internationally recognised singers and rappers.
Bryson Tiller Enters a New Career Chapter
The release also arrives during another major period for Bryson Tiller.
Since the release of his debut album T R A P S O U L, the American singer has become one of the most influential names in modern R&B. He has earned billions of streams through tracks including “Don’t” and “Exchange.”
Tiller recently celebrated the tenth anniversary of T R A P S O U L and announced the 61-date Bryson Tiller Presents: The Neo Trapsoul Tour, covering North America, Europe, and Australia.
He is also preparing to release a new studio album following his recent Chris Brown collaboration, “It Depends.”
Working with HUGEL gives Tiller another opportunity to explore electronic production while introducing his vocal style to the growing global Latin House audience.
HUGEL’s Global Momentum Continues
“Temptation” follows a landmark period for HUGEL. He has become one of the leading artists behind Latin House’s international growth.
His recent releases include “Shine” and a collaboration with David Guetta, French Montana, and Aidan Martin. He also appeared alongside Guetta during the French DJ’s Stade de France show in Paris.
Alongside his releases, HUGEL continues to headline his weekly Make The Girls Dance residency at Hï Ibiza.
The French producer has also expanded into the United States with new residencies at Encore Beach Club and XS Nightclub in Las Vegas.
After generating more than one billion streams during 2025 and attracting over 33 million monthly Spotify listeners, HUGEL’s crossover strategy appears to be reaching an even wider audience.
With “Temptation,” he continues to blur the lines between Latin House, R&B, hip-hop, and global pop without completely moving away from the club-focused sound behind his rise.
