What makes Sonique so unique as a DJ is that she has blended her excellent powerful and emotive singing abilities with a natural mixing talent to create a unique club atmosphere. As soon as she steps up to the decks she picks up the mic and introduces herself, instantly connecting with the crowd and setting up the atmosphere for an unforgettable night. Right at the peak of the best tunes comes the perfect crescendo of smooth vocals just made up on the spot yet somehow sounding like they are meant to be there. This talent never before seen in clubland is unique to Sonique.
The other leg of her career is to write, record and remix songs, mainly dance-orientated and soulfoul with a high potential to go on top of the club charts as well as the pop charts. Sonique's greatest hit so far is the song «It feels so good», being re-released in 2000 and becoming a chart-topper in many countries that year. Up to now she has recorded three solo albums, has released more than 10 singles and can point to a long list of collaborations with other artists' projects from William Orbit to Josh Wink. Several record labels have released also some albums with live mixes of Sonique's DJ sets.
Cold And Lonely
Sonique Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause I don't like to be alone
Come warm yourself by my fire
And keep yourself warm, oh so warm
Cause I know what it's like to be cold and lonely
Come warm yourself by my fire
And keep yourself warm
Oh Ik, I'll keep you so warm
I need you in my soul, yeah
Cause that's when you're strongest and
Maybe it's time for me to move on
move on
Feel the sun, feel the rain
Don't leave me lonely and cold in pain
No way
Now I think it's time
To check out the other side of the coin
See if I can find some happiness, there
[repeat chorus]
How can you do this to me, how can you do this to me?...
Tell me now
I'd never do anything like that to you
Or anybody else--no way
How can you do this to me, how can you do this to me?...
