Sonia Evans (born 13 February 1971),[1] known mononymously as Sonia, is an English pop singer from Liverpool. She had a 1989 UK number one hit with "You'll Never Stop Me Loving You" and became the first female UK artist to achieve five top 20 hit singles from one album. She represented the United Kingdom in the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest, where she finished second with the song "Better the Devil You Know". Between 1989 and 1993, she had 11 UK top 30 hits,[2] including "Listen to Your Heart" (1989), "Counting Every Minute" (1990) and "Only Fools (Never Fall in Love)" (1991). In 1994, she starred as Sandy in a West End revival of the musical Grease, while on television she appeared as Bunty in the 1998 BBC comedy series The Lily Savage Show.
Sonia was signed to Chrysalis Records after badgering Pete Waterman to listen to her sing outside his recording studio in Liverpool. Waterman called her bluff and asked her to sing live on his weekly radio show. Sonia's debut single, "You'll Never Stop Me Loving You", composed and produced by the songwriting and music production trio Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman (Stock Aitken Waterman) was released in June 1989. "You'll Never Stop Me Loving You" peaked at number 1 on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks the following month.[2] At 18, Sonia became one of the youngest female British singers to achieve this feat. The single also topped the Irish chart[3] and reached the top 10 of the US dance chart.[4]
In 1993, Sonia represented the United Kingdom in the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest, singing the Dean Collinson and Brian Teasdale composition "Better the Devil You Know".[7] She was placed second in the contest.[8] Her third album, also titled Better the Devil You Know was released that year and reached number 32 in the UK.[2] Sonia performed the song again on Saturday, 13 May 2023, during the interval at the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool, 30 years after her first appearance. The day before, she also appeared in Hollyoaks (see TV appearances below) performing her iconic Eurovision entry to the cast at an on-screen Eurovision party.
In 2007, prior to Sonia's Greatest Hits release, she recorded two Motown-influenced songs, "Dancing in the Driver's Seat" and "Your Heart or Mine", both of which were written by Barry Upton and U.S. songwriter Gordon Pogoda. However, her record label decided to include no new songs on Greatest Hits so both tracks remained unreleased until 2018.
In summer 2018, in conjunction with her appearance in the Channel 5 program Celebrity 5 Go Caravanning, Sonia's recording of "Dancing in the Driver's Seat", written by Barry Upton and Gordon Pogoda, was released. Another song recorded with Upton and Pogoda in 2007, "Your Heart or Mine", was released in 2018 as its follow-up.
Sonia made a significant guest appearance as herself in Channel 4 soap opera, Hollyoaks, in the episode aired Friday, 12 May 2023. In the storyline, Sonia is an old school friend of Diane O'Connor, played by Alexandra Fletcher, and the two are part of a production in-joke where Sonia remarks Diane "doesn't look a day over 50" (a reference to the age discrepancy between the two, Fletcher was born in 1976, and Sonia in 1971), and then Sonia asks Diane if her father is still running 'The Moby'. This is a reference to Fletcher's previous long-running role in Brookside, as Jacqui Dixon (from 1990 to 2003, produced by the same production company, and in which, Sonia herself was an extra in 1988), whose father, Ron, ran a mobile mini-market from a blue van with a white whale painted down the side called The Moby Dick. Sonia performed her 1993 Eurovision Song Contest song, "Better The Devil You Know", at a party while Diane danced as one of her backing singers.
