Music Career

Everytime We Touch

Cascada experienced mainstream success in the United Kingdom and the United States almost a year after releasing their second American single, "Everytime We Touch", a cover of 1992 Maggie Reilly's hit. Soon after the popularity of the single skyrocketed, an album was quickly recorded and released (in a matter of weeks), and a music video for "Everytime We Touch" was also distributed for promotion. For these reasons, the debut album maintains a very similar formula throughout, to the extent of near-identical tempo and beats. Four singles have been released in the United Kingdom; "Everytime We Touch", "Truly Madly Deeply" (originally by Savage Garden),"Miracle" and "A Neverending Dream" all of which gained top 10 status apart from "A Neverending Dream" which charted at #46. Their album "Everytime We Touch" has experienced success in the UK Album chart where it moved up in the charts for 6 weeks since it was released in the beginning of March, peaking at #2. The album experienced success on the U.S. charts as well.

Perfect Day

Natalie Horler recently announced that Cascada are working on their second album during a Japanese interview, which is posted on their blog on MySpace. She stated that there will be a few more ballads, and possibly a house track on the album. There are a number of cover songs set to appear, most notably Avril Lavigne's Sk8er Boi, Pink's Just Like A Pill, Patti Smith's Because the Night and the Rascal Flatts' song What Hurts the Most as well as two tracks, Endless Summer and I Will Believe It that were previously recorded by Natalie Horler and DJ Manian under the Siria name. Natalie also stated in a French Interview that she will take a hand in writing parts of the album. The album is set to be released sometime towards the end of the year in the UK, as Natalie said in a Toazted Interview, however, it is unknown about the worldwide release. The first song to be released from Perfect Day was "What Hurts The Most", with a bonus track, Last Christmas. The single was released on various dates around the world. The UK follow-up single has been decided to be What Do You Want From Me?
