If you’re after some of the best new Afro House music for your 2024 playlists, then HUGEL & Diplo – Forever (ft Malou & Yuna) is a track that you’ll want to pay attention to. Combining the talents of French multi-platinum-selling Latin House producer HUGEL (whose massive remix of Nico Santos’ Rooftop we covered here at EKM) and American Grammy Award-winning DJ and producer Diplo (who is also a member of seminal EDM group Major Lazer). The track is a full-blooded Afro House banger, and as such will surely satisfy those who have been craving new music from HUGEL and Diplo in 2024.
Aside from its two main artists, much of what makes this track great are its two incredible vocalists, with Malou having previously worked with artists including Elderbrook and John Summit, and Yuma being an LA-based artist who has already carved out a name for herself in the world of R&B. Their ethereal, reverb-drenched vocals lend the track much of its sweeping atmosphere, which itself perfectly complements the track’s deep grooves and bright piano chords.
As is the case for a good deal of new HUGEL and Diplo music in 2024, Forever is also notable for its slick production, which really helps elevate the track to banger status. The drops are subtle but sleek, whilst the simple textures of the instrumental sections that fall towards the start and the end of the track bring some Melodic House vibes into play.
In short, HUGEL & Diplo – Forever (ft Malou & Yuna) is some of the best new Afro House music of 2024 so far, making an ideal addition to your playlists. The record gives us everything we’ve come to expect from new HUGEL & Diplo music, including deep, sultry grooves, cool vocal melodies, and of course top tier production.
