I Thought You Knew is a soulful Afro-house/deep-house collaboration built around emotion, warmth, and late-night atmosphere. Mayonie and BlaQRhythm deliver a smooth, steady groove with rolling drums, deep basslines, and soft chord progressions that feel intimate and reflective rather than aggressive.
Mayonie, TekniQ and Maline Aura recently appeared on Yale Nale.
Deena G’s vocal performance adds the heart of the track — expressive, slightly vulnerable, and full of that “hurt but calm” energy that matches the title. The song moves patiently, letting the message sink in while the production stays clean and elegant.
Overall, I Thought You Knew is a mature, emotional house record that balances groove and storytelling beautifully — perfect for soulful sets, night drives, and listeners who enjoy music with real feeling.
