She has had a series of gold and platinum records, including one in Scandinavia, and a top 100 hit in the US, while she was still a student at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Her first album, Alexia, started a new wave of pop music in Greece and Cyprus, and sold over 500,000 copies, making it the most successful debut album by a Greek artist.
Alexia has collaborated with a number of distinguished artists, including Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Olympia Dukakis, Andreas Vollenweider, and Milva. For 10 years, she teamed up with Mikis Theodorakis, composer of Zorba the Greek. Alexia recorded a double album showcasing some of the composer's most consummate musical creations. In her jazz album, In a Jazz Mood, Alexia collaborated with Chick Corea and bassist John Patitucci. Alexia has also performed songs for the soundtracks of three films, Sacred Whispers, The Road to Ithaca and Safe Sex.
Alexia (born Alessia Aquilani, 19 May 1967) is an Italian singer. Before recording in Italian in the 2000s, she made records in English in the 1990s. Many of those were international hits. Before her solo career she was the vocalist of Ice Mc.
In her career she has sold over 6 million records with 10 top-ten single, of which 4 number-one hits and numerous international sales certifications. She has performed at the Festivalbar for nine times, and four times at the Sanremo Music Festival in which she has earned, besides several music critic awards, three second-places, and has won one in the 2003.
Alexia was born in La Spezia, Liguria, and from a young age regularly entered singing talent competitions.
She started working for Italian label Euroenergy (by Disco Magic) in 1989 with the singles (Eurobeat/Hi NRG style) Alexia Cooper - Boy and Lita Beck – It's All Right. One year later she gave "Backing Vocals" in the singles Cinema and Scream by Ice Mc. Later she worked with producer Roberto Zanetti (better known as Robyx) in 1990, as a back-up singer to several of Zanetti's eurodance acts on his DWA label, including Double You and Ice MC and notably featured on many of the latter's biggest hits such as "Think About The Way" (on the Trainspotting soundtrack), "It's A Rainy Day" and "Russian Roulette". When Ice MC left DWA, Robyx turned his attention to Alexia, and the pair wrote the song "Me And You", which included the vocals of "Double You". The song was a big international hit and was followed the next year by "Summer Is Crazy" and "Number One", which again were international hits.
Feel the beat of the night
I wanna drive you to my pray
Feel the beat of the night
The beat of the night
The beat of the night
The beat of the night
You don?t understand why I keep on praying
I don?t feel the pain holdin' on my faith
Do you feel secure, do you feel in chains?
Life is not a game, you?re not here to play
You don?t feel alright everywhere you go
Time is getting cold and nothing?s goin' on
You can?t lose your mind and you can?t lose your face
Lord won?t let you down when you need to stay
Feel the beat of the night
I wanna drive you to my pray
Feel the beat of your life
You know, you?ll never change your way
Feel the beat of the night
The beat of the night
The beat of the night
The beat of the night
Life will never be, never be the same
We could lose control, we could be afraid
Things inside of me made me change that way
The power of your love revives everyday
Feel the beat of the night
I wanna drive you to my pray
Feel the beat of your life
You know, you?ll never change your way
Feel the beat of the night
I wanna drive you to my pray
Feel the beat of your life
You know, you?ll never change your way
Feel the beat of the night
The beat of the night
The beat of the night
Feel the beat of the night
I wanna drive you to my pray
Feel the beat of your life
You know, you?ll never change your way
Feel the beat of the night
I wanna drive you to my pray
Feel the beat of your life
You know, you?ll never change your way
