'Marinade' by Sonique is an emotional alchemy, transforming the raw ingredients of life’s challenges into a rich, flavourful experience that lingers; The track simmers with a slow-burning intensity, a carefully crafted blend of introspection and empowerment that leaves the listener feeling both nourished and invigorated.
A PROJECT WITH RADA: 'Marinade’' is the latest release from RADA Unearthed, the music arm of the humanitarian organisation dedicated to spreading messages of love, inspiration, and choice through music, with royalties supporting community projects for positive impact.
From the very first note, 'Marinade' wraps itself around you like a warm embrace, the bassline pulsing like a heartbeat, steady and grounding. Sonique’s voice, both ethereal and earthy, weaves through the melody with the precision of a master chef adding just the right amount of spice. It’s as if each lyric is a secret ingredient, carefully measured and delivered with a deliberate yet effortless grace.
The production, helmed by Mark Beling, is a masterclass in subtlety. Nothing is overdone; every element is balanced to perfection, allowing Sonique’s voice and message to take centre stage. The soundscape is layered, yet transparent, like a broth that has been simmered for hours, reducing down to its most essential flavours. There’s a tactile quality to the sound—close your eyes, and you can almost feel the textures, the way the rhythm gently stirs the soul while the melody lifts it.

'Marinade' is a meditation on growth, on finding strength in the shadows and wisdom in the wounds. Sonique doesn’t shy away from the darker elements of the journey; instead, she invites them into the pot, letting them soften and blend until they become something nourishing. The chorus, with its mantra-like repetition, is a reminder that growth isn’t always a flash of lightning, but often a slow, steady process—like a marinade seeping into the core, transforming from the inside out.
'Marinade' is a dish best served often, a track that reveals new sounds with each listen... It’s a song that stays with you, its essence lingering in the mind like the memory of a particularly satisfying meal. Sonique has crafted something truly special, a sonic recipe that nourishes the spirit as much as it delights the senses.
