After multi-platinum smash Evacuate The Dancefloor, CASCADA

now have the honour to represent Germany at this year’s Eurovision

Song Contest with their new single Glorious.

Glorious

New Single:

Since the release of their first album almost ten years ago,

CASCADA look back on world-wide successes like Everytime

We Touch, Miracle, Evacuate The Dancefloor, San Francisco,

Summer Of Love or The Rhythm Of The Night. Front-singer

Natalie Horler and her team of producers and writers Yann

Peifer (Yanou) and Manuel Reuter (Manian) have topped charts

in more than 20 countries with their irresistible dance-pop

songs. Collecting numerous awards (e.g. the World Music

Award in 2007) throughout their career, they have established

themselves as one of the tops European dance floor acts of

the present.

With their appearance at one of the most important European

music events that takes place in the Swedish Malmö this year,

CASCADA now take another giant step. In May 18th, 2013 they

have the honour of representing Germany at the Eurovision

Song Contest, which is watched by around 125 million viewers

every year.

Bonn-based Natalie grew up in Germany. The daughter of

David Horler, an acclaimed jazz musician and arranger who

worked with likes of Quincy Jones, Stan Getz and Tony

Bennett, Natalie grew up around music, though was more

influenced by stars like Maria Carey and Whitney Houston.

At age 18 she started doing studio work and recorded several

tracks for different DJs.

In 2004, through her studio work, she met Cologne-based

producers Yann Peifer (Yanou) and Manuel Reuter (Manian)

who invited her to front their new project, CASCADA. Within

18 months, together they found international fame with their

huge debut hit Everytime We Touch. A smash in the States

before the band even toured there, the song quickly caught

on across the globe, followed by a multi-platinum selling

album of the same title. It spawned eight singles, including the

massive Miracle and a dance cover of Savage Garden’s Truly,

Madly Deeply. The success of the album gained the World

Music Award in the category World's Best-Selling German

Artist. The second album Perfect Day (2007), led by hit single

What Hurts The Most, continued CASCADA’s reign as one of

the world’s Top 10 selling dance acts.

In 2009, the trio began to work on CASCADA’s third album

Evacuate The Dancefloor. After one efficient year of writing

and recording Natalie, Manian and Yanou succeed in

developing their dance-pop-style into something new. “It was

lovely to be able to take our time. I think we really progressed”,

Natalie remembers. “It was an amazing success, and it felt

like a reward for our hard studio work and especially for our

courage to change the typical CASCADA sound, as Evacuate

The Dancefloor was our first track heavily influenced by Rap,

R&B and Soul”. The single reached sensational fame ac- ross

the globe and collected top chart entries in more than 20

countries worldwide. Fans even made the single No #1 in

England where Natalie overthrew Michael Jackson, who

dominated the top of the charts shortly after his death.

The success of the single gained among others a nomination

for the MTV Video Music Awards, it went platinum in the US,

gold in Germany and the UK etc.

In 2011 CASCADA released their fourth album Original Me

that includes in addition to the first single, San Francisco other

energetic dance-pop songs like Pyromania or Au Revoir.

Yanou (responsible for melodies and most of the lyrics) and

Manian (music production & engineering) developed great

variety and once again showed their multi-faceted abilities.

Songs on the album were diversified from pure pop, not

overly dance to house beats or guitars.

In 2012 their first track Summer Of Love was a euphoric,

hands-in-the-air dancefloor anthem, building on the

Eurodance sound CASCADA pioneered. Following the second

chart topping single The Rhythm Of The Night and the TV

appearance of front singer Natalie in the German “Pop Idol”

Jury, the 31-year old pop star and her team of producers

spent the last few months focusing on new songs.

In February 2013 CASDACA impressively won the

pre-competition to represent Germany at the 2013

Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden with

“Glorious”, which had been released in January 2013.

Manian and Yanou produced the track, co-written by

Andres Ballinas and Tony Cornellisen. The classy video

for the track was shot in a deserted German castle.

After the ESC, CASCADA will come up with some new thrilling

tracks. Natalie confirmed that they have already recorded the

follow-up single “The World Is In My Hands”, which will be

released later on in 2013. It was also revealed that the track

would be part of their upcoming Best Of Album, a greatest

hits compilation, which includes among their smashes some

fresh material and, following the wishes of many fans, even

some unplugged songs. Talking of unplugged songs, the

trio is currently working on an entire unplugged Album to

transform the beauty of their dance anthems into handmade

contemporary pop music.

But even if Natalie didn’t give away too many details about

the follow-up singles, she did say though that she is really

looking forward to the Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden.

“I’m excited and feel honoured to represent Germany in front

of such an incredibly huge audience”.
