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.

You better stop the things that you do
I ain't lyin', no, I ain't lyin'
I just can't stand it babe
The way you're always runnin' 'round
I just can't stand it, the way you always put me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine
You better stop the things that you do
I ain't lyin', no, I ain't lyin'
I just can't stand it babe
The way you're always runnin' 'round
I just can't stand it, the way you always put me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine
I put a spell on you. I put a spell on you
I put a spell on you. I put a spell on you

I put a spell on you because you're mine
I cast a supernatural influence on you because I have a claim on you
You better stop the things that you do
Cease the actions that are displeasing to me
I ain't lyin', no, I ain't lyin'
I am not deceiving you or making false statements
I just can't stand it babe
I have an intense aversion to this behavior, my dear
The way you're always runnin' 'round
Your frequent movements and activities are bothersome to me
I just can't stand it, the way you always put me down
Your habit of belittling me is unbearable
I put a spell on you. I put a spell on you
I remind you of the spell I cast upon you earlier
I put a spell on you. I put a spell on you
I remind you of the spell I cast upon you earlier

I was in a nightclub years ago in kings cross called The Cross, dancing away by the dj booth because there were huge fans there and it was so hot inside, then Sonique was on the decks, mixing and singing adding her own vocals. I was absolutely blown away. She was incredible. She finished her set with this track!
