Cascada's debut album, Everytime We Touch, was released in February 2006 and spawned a chain of hit singles including the title track second single "Everytime We Touch". The album also includes the internationally successful "Miracle" and "Truly Madly Deeply". Their second album, Perfect Day was released in December 2007, which was commercially successful and produced the international single, "What Hurts the Most". This was followed by, Evacuate the Dancefloor, summer 2009 and the title track and first single, "Evacuate the Dancefloor", entered the UK Singles Chart at number one becoming Cascada's first number one in the UK. The following album, Original Me, became Cascada's lowest-charting album, but spawned moderately successful singles such as "Pyromania" and "San Francisco". They released a greatest-hits album after, including the singles "Summer of Love", "The Rhythm of the Night", "Glorious" which was used in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013, and "The World Is in My Hands".
Everytime We Touch is the first album by German Eurodance trio Cascada (consisting of DJ Manian, Natalie Horler and Yanou). It was released on 5 March 2006. Recording sessions for the album took place from Autumn 2004 through January 2006, most of which was recorded after the third single from the album "Everytime We Touch" rose to popularity;[1] the final recording session was completed in three weeks. The entire album was produced by Yanou and DJ Manian, containing heavily of up-tempo Eurodance tracks, many of which are covers of hit songs from the 1980s and 1990s of the synthpop, Eurodance, and rock genres. Musically, the album is composed of dance tracks with thick Euro synths, trance beats that clock in at over 140 beats per minute and Europop lyrics. Lyrically, the album is composed of songs about love and dance floor euphoria.
Critical reception of the album has been mixed, with many critics disliking the repetitive beats and what they saw as filler. Most critics did admire, however, its chart success for a dance album in the tough US music market. The album has sold about 2 million copies worldwide.[2] There was a total of seven singles released from the album. "Miracle" and "Everytime We Touch" were released in America and were the only singles that received gold and platinum certifications. Along with "Truly, Madly, Deeply", these singles attained notable chart success internationally, peaking in the top ten in countries like the United Kingdom, Ireland and Sweden. "A Neverending Dream", Bad Boy and "How Do You Do!" achieved minor chart success in Ireland, the United Kingdom and Austria respectively.
Sharon Mawer from Allmusic gave the album a mixed review and said the album's songs were for "dancing to" in a "club with lights flashing and people all around" but said that "after an hour of the same repetitive beat, one's senses can become a little jaded."[7] Dom Passantino from Stylus Magazine gave the album a C+ and said the album had "a lot of filler" and called "Everytime We Touch" unoriginal.[8] Ken Barnes of USA Today, however, awarded the album 3 out of 4 stars and said that "you couldn't ask for a more insanely infectious concoction."[9]
The album was accidentally released on iTunes for digital download on 11 February 2006, ten days before its scheduled release, in what was said to be a computer error. The album entered the Billboard 200 at number 67, selling over 17,000 copies in its first week. It has gone on to sell over 100,000 copies in the US.[2]
In the United Kingdom, the album entered the charts at #6. It then went on to peak at #2.[10] It spent 28 weeks in the UK Albums Top 75, and 35 weeks in the Ireland Albums Top 75 (where it peaked at #1).[11] The album went on to sell over 600,000 copies in the UK, achieving Platinum Certification.[12]
Studio 24 is the upcoming fifth studio album by German dance music group Cascada, set for release in the fall of 2024. The album marks their first of completely new music in thirteen years since the release of Original Me in 2011.
I would like to know as well where this guy came from. Apparently he did some terrible schlager songs since the 2000s, but recently he produced No Angels where he copy + pasted instrumentals from Dua and Miley:
Apart from that all the stuff I know from him is a tribute to Blinding Lights, German radio still goes crazy for that throwback Take On Me sound and he does it on nearly all his songs. I don't expect high art and endless originality from a Cascada album, but damn I hope he didn't infect them with his laziness
Cascada is a German pop group. They are most famous for their songs "Everytime We Touch" in 2005, "What Hurts the Most" in 2007 and "Evacuate the Dancefloor" in 2009.[1] Members of the group are the female singer Natalie Horler [2] and the two Record Producers DJ Manian and Yanou.
They started writing songs for the album in late 2003, like, the title track (Everytime We Touch), Miracle and Bad Boy, they recorded a slow version of Everytime We Touch around the same time. Then, in 2004, the studio released Miracle and Bad Boy as singles and released the album in early 2005, the title track for the album released in 2005 (both original and slow versions), then they had a tour for the album from summer of 2005 to fall of 2006, They ended the tour in favor for their second album in 2007.
Their second album, Perfect Day started to get worked on, right after the Everytime We Touch tour concluded in fall 2006. They released the album in 2007. They had a tour for the album in 2007-2008. Then in fall 2008, they started to work on their third album, Evacuate the Dancefloor. They released this album in 2009, had a tour in 2009-2010 and like every album, stops in favor for a new album.
But what will a Rihanna album sound like in 2014? What should it sound like? Will it feature horns? Will it feature four-to-the-floor beats? Will it feature another ode to strippers? Or will it be an experimental, guitar laden prog-rock opus (no thanks)?
