The track arrives as the fourth single from HUGEL’s debut album Twenty One. This follows a landmark year of global momentum.
HUGEL continues his massive global rise with the release of his new single “Shine,” a star-studded collaboration with David Guetta, French Montana, and Aidan Martin. The track is set for release on June 26, 2026, via Make The Girls Dance Records. Additionally, it serves as the fourth single from HUGEL’s highly anticipated debut album, Twenty One.
Fresh off the launch of his Make The Girls Dance residency at Hï Ibiza, his Coachella debut, and a landmark year surpassing 1 billion annual streams, HUGEL returns with a record built for the global summer season. “Shine” brings together four artists from different musical worlds. It also combines Afro House, Latin House, stadium-sized dance production, hip-hop charisma, and emotional songwriting into one crossover anthem.
A Major Global Collaboration
The single sees HUGEL joining forces with fellow French dance music icon David Guetta, one of the most successful electronic artists of all time. Guetta’s influence across modern dance music remains unmatched. He has a catalog of era-defining hits and collaborations that have helped shape global pop and electronic culture for more than two decades.
The release also follows a major shared moment between HUGEL and Guetta, after HUGEL joined Guetta during his historic Stade de France takeover in Paris. Across three sold-out nights attended by more than 80,000 fans per night, Guetta welcomed a huge lineup of special guests including Jennifer Lopez, Black Eyed Peas, Bebe Rexha, and Akon. During the run of shows, HUGEL also premiered “Shine.”

French Montana Brings International Star Power
Adding another global layer to the record, French Montana brings his unmistakable presence to “Shine.” The Moroccan-born, Bronx-raised artist has built a career around crossover hits including “Unforgettable,” “No Stylist,” “Pop That,” and “All The Way Up,”. Meanwhile, he has collaborated with names such as Drake, The Weeknd, Cardi B, Post Malone, Swae Lee, and Rick Ross.
His appearance on “Shine” strengthens the track’s international appeal, bridging dance music, hip-hop, pop, and global club culture.
Aidan Martin Delivers The Emotional Core
Completing the collaboration is British singer-songwriter Aidan Martin, whose vocal performance gives “Shine” its emotional center. Known for powerful songwriting and festival-ready hooks, Martin brings a cinematic quality to the track. As a result, he helps turn it into more than just a club record.
With HUGEL’s signature Afro House and Latin House sound, Guetta’s stadium-scale production energy, French Montana’s charisma, and Martin’s soaring vocal presence, “Shine” is positioned as a euphoric anthem for festival stages, radio, clubs, and summer playlists worldwide.

After generating more than 1 billion streams in 2025 and reaching over 27 million monthly Spotify listeners, HUGEL has become one of the leading names behind the global rise of Afro House and Latin House. With “Shine,” he further proves his ability to connect artists, sounds, and audiences across continents.
