Cascada sings living life to the fullest in "Blink"

After the huge disappointment that was the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest for them, German-British dance music act Cascada and her lead vocalist Natalie Horler are back and ready to burn the dancefloor again with a new single from what is hopefully a new album. The EDM-ready "Blink" was released on iTunes on March 28th via Zooland Records alongside the same day premiere of the music video. This is the first single from the band since the release of its fourth compilation album "The Best of Cascada," a year ago.

The track is a cover of the original song recorded by English dance-pop duo U.V.U.K. and released in 2012. However due to the song not being commercially successful, it was therefore given to Cascada for release a few years later. The new version was produced by DJ Manuel "Manian" Reuter and Yann "Yanou" Peifer, who managed the dance project since its inception, and it's confirmed as the lead single taken from the upcoming fifth studio album, planned to be released this summer.

As always, Cascada brings the party, glamour, and heavy bass beats. With the premier of "Blink," that trend continues. The infectious backing track makes for another dance-floor staple. This dance song is in tru Cascada style, features slick beats, massive dance and juiced up production, your regular dose of up-lifting lyrics, and, of course, Horler's infectious charm and powerhouse vocals. The lyrics are fairly simple, and the message is relatable: there are some moments in life that are so nice yet so sudden that they can be gone in the blink of an eye. So living every second of your life to the fullest, and 'to the fullest' means that you don't even have time to blink! Live, live, live it up!

The video starts off with Horler singing to the screen in numerous positions mainly using lots of hand gestures. The scene eventually goes with Horler inside a box like small area where she swings around slowing whilst singing the song. During the chorus, Horler is pulling off her famous moves and hand gestures whilst over dancers break-dance behind a futuristic wall reminiscent to the Pyromania video. Throughout the song, Horler is seen to be lying on the ground, in the box area, in the futuristic area dancing with other dancers whilst singing. Watch its simple, yet "energy-infusing" visual below.

Cascada | "Evacuate The Dancefloor" (Album)

"Evacuate the Dancefloor" is the third full-length studio album from award-winning German europop trio fronted by vocalist Natalie Horler Cascada. It was released in Ireland on July 3 first with eleven tracks, just after the lead single "Evacuate the Dancefloor", and is out today in the States.
Cascada are most famous for their hit singles "Everytime We Touch" which won them a World Music Award in 2007 and becoming the group's 1st #1 single, "What Hurts the Most" which stormed the charts in 2008, and "Evacuate the Dancefloor" which recently became a UK #1. The new album marks a fresh start for one of the world's most successful dance acts, and looks likely to dominate the airwaves throughout the rest of the year.
The lead single "Evacuate the Dancefloor", is the 1st most downloaded from iTunes in the mid-week charts. The music video for single was officially uploaded to Youtube by AATW yesterday, and is now viewable for everyone. The video shows Horler singing in front of lights in a club surrounded by party goers. She then shows dancers on a dance floor with Horler singing in front of open doors and people dancing in the background. Calprit appears singing on some seats before the camera goes back to Horler and the dancers while occasionally showing Calprit singing the backing vocals. It finishes with Horler singing on a spinning set of seats surrounded by the dancers. Horler shows all the conviction of a session singer trilling her way through a demo while her mind focuses in on the pay cheque.
