Everytime We Touch

by

Cascada

Edit

If you like DHT's version of "Listen to Your Heart" and fast paced dance tracks with a Euro-pop beat, you'll like this album.

Cascada is a trio made up of singer Natalie Horler, and two producers Yanou and DJ Manian. This album contains some remakes, lots of trance and a couple of pop ballads. Most people will by now have heard the hit "Everytime We Touch", which is a remake of a 1992 hit by Maggie Reilly from her solo album "Echoes", but other great tracks are "How Do You Do!" (Roxette's 1992 hit); "Miracle"; "Bad Boy"; and "A Neverending Dream"(originally by X-Perience from 1996's "Magic Fields.")

Also on this album are versions of "Kids in America" (Kim Wilde), "Truly Madly Deeply" (Savage Garden), and "Wouldn't It Be Good" (Nik Kershaw). The lyrics are simple, the beats are catchy, and this light and breezy album is great for dancing or just chilling out with friends.

The big draw of the record is the first song and Cascada's only real hit the heavy thumping Everytime We Touch, which is a great song. In that aspect you could say the CD unloads early or leaves you in the same song for the next forty minutes. There is little to no variation among the bubbly lyric signiture heavy thumping dance selections, which are good just shallow. There are unfortunate rest periods that make you simply wish to skip to the next song as this sometimes chunky British songbird tries her hand at slow ballads including a near crap candlelight remix of you know what, a bad idea as these lack any of the echoing sadness and underdeveloped beauty of DHT's Listen to your Heart, and she is not so much a song bird as a rooster. Her voice is wrong if listened to with no base or sythisizer, she would have been better off plugging the base in and forging ahead. Still her atempt at trance laced pop in Never Ending Dream and upbeat remake of Kids in America are commendable along with Everytime. But the rest seems to run together with various snatches inextricably sticking in your head all with that same beat. If you are searching for a truly soulfoul real dance workout stick to the heavy European pop or club compliations. I recommend DJ Top 100, or Dutch Now Dance Summer O6, or Ministry of Sound Clubber's Guides.
