“It’s the hardest-hitting club song we made,” LE YORA bandmate Jewels said of his jungle-ready new single More Than I Should Know
Jewels has released More Than I Should Know, an eight-minute epic that serves as the Berlin producer’s latest single under just-launched alias LE YORA. More Than I Should Know offers a unique blend of afrohouse and melodic techno, pairing a jungle-ready backing percussion with airy lyricism and a gradually accelerating tempo. “I’ve seen more, more than I should know,” Jewels sings with vocals seemingly befitting an indie record.
The choice of singing style on More Than I Should Know is rooted in Jewels’ background in songwriting, and serves to underpin what is otherwise a lush and masterfully-produced club banger. Immaculate bassline crescendos give way to clean beat drops, before thumping trap beats set the stage for a quieter backend. Towards the end of More Than I Should Know, Jewels introduces ascendent synths and belts out a final chorus.
“The truth from your hands,” Jewels croons elsewhere on the track. “The truth always has a plan.” Scroll down to listen to LE YORA’s sophomore single More Than I Should Know. The track stands as reflection of Jewels’ technical mastery, with assists from the equally talented bandmates of his just-launched alias LE YORA. Alongside Jewels, the producer supergroup also consists of longtime collaborators and Berlin-based DJs SOMMA, yuma and MAGNUS.

“More Than I Should Know is the second single of my upcoming album as my new alias ‘LE YORA’,” Jewels said of the single and producer collective in a press statement. “The boys and I came together with a shared vision to write, produce, sing and design the art and music totally by ourselves. I picked this song as the second album single as it’s the hardest-hitting club song we made, and we wanted to put it out right away.”
More Than I Should Know follows February single Ascension as the second track to be lifted from LE YORA’s upcoming debut album Labyrinth. Listen to the group’s latest single below, and keep an eye out for the full-length project set for release later this year.
