Sonyaé: Hip-hop Powerhouse Behind “Cameras Watchin” and Upcoming Project ‘BLU’

Singer/songwriter Sonyaé has been putting out music for the past few years, giving loyal fans and new listeners something to celebrate. That being said, 2022 is gearing up to be an exciting one for Sonyaé and her fanbase with the recent release of her single “Cameras Watchin” and the highly anticipated project BLU.

“Cameras Watchin,” Sonyaé’s latest single, is a high-energy, fiery track produced by international DJ/producer Siobhan Bell. The artist flawlessly weaved dynamic lyrics with her confident attitude, making the song stand out with a catchy hook and vivid visuals. This song can be relatable to anyone who wants to put themselves first, adopting a mindset of abundance. Sonyaé wrote “Cameras Watchin” to express her principle of attracting instead of chasing the things she wants in life, whether it is the type of relationships she desires or the professional opportunities Sonyaé would like to achieve.

Sonyaé displays her prowess as a rapper and a performer throughout the song. “Cameras Watchin” is a track that is the perfect balance of confidence, high energy, and sensuality. With lyrics such as “He think he my main, but I consider him an option,” this single may very well be on its way to becoming a female anthem. The song also features a sample from Britney Spears’ iconic hit “Toxic.” Bell has expertly layered UK drill drums over a trap arrangement with this sample to make Sonyaé’s single a certified hit.

With the successful launch of her single, Sonyaé is hard at work on her upcoming project, titled BLU. While the artist hasn’t shared much about the project, fans eagerly await its release later this year. The artist promised it would be an ambitious project that would elevate her music and stylistic identity. 

Sonyaé has been a widely respected collaborator in the music industry. Aside from working on her music, she has worked with other renowned artists such as Young Thug, Lil Yatchy, Anderson .Paak, and The Game, among others. Even when working with musical greats such as these artists, Sonyaé’s incredible skill and talent as a singer, rapper and songwriter speak for itself. In 2021, Sonyaé received her first Grammy nomination for Best R&B song as co-writer of the song “Collide.” This is a song from Queen and Slim: The Soundtrack featuring Tiana Major9 and EARTHGANG.

Even before Sonyaé began her professional career as a musician, she shared that music has always been a part of her life, and she gravitated towards music and performing from a young age.

Music is an art form that has inspired Sonyaé for as long as she can remember. She started out in theater as a child, then as a songwriter collaborating with other established artists, to becoming a full-fledged artist in her own right. While “Cameras Watchin” is a fun track, fans have more to look forward to this year with the upcoming release of BLU.
