Noughties dance legends Cascada are reuniting for their first album in over a decade, and fans are stunned by how the trio has defied the ageing process.
The German trio, who formed in 2004, had a string of huge hits in the 2000s, including Everytime We Touch and number one single Evacuate the Dancefloor.
In the 2010s the group focused less on releasing new albums and more on touring, with members Natalie Horler, Manuel Reuter, and Yann Peifer almost never off the road while occasionally releasing new standalone singles.
But it’s been revealed that the group have been hard at work in the studio, with a brand new album – titled Studio 24 – set for release later this year.
Natalie, who has said the album takes more from disco than it does from their trance and rave days of the 2000s, revealed how she felt about the prospect of a new Cascada record being in the world.
‘It’s inspired by the times of [New York club] Studio 54. We’re doing a take in a more modern disco style. I’m so excited about it because it’s been a while since I’ve done a whole album. It’s nearly finished.’
She told The Sun: ‘I haven’t done a lot of song-writing on my own so I’m more than excited to be able to put my own tracks on this album.’
Cascada were famous for their original material but also produced many hits that were covers, such as Savage Garden’s Truly Madly Deeply and Mark Wills’ What Hurts the Most.

Natalie described how she got into the zone for these new original songs: ‘I’ve been fortunate not to have gone through too much heartbreak, but I’ve had many friends that have and when you’re close to them, you know what they’re feeling. I write from their experiences.’
Fans couldn’t believe that the footage of Cascada working in the studio was brand new, and not repurposed video footage from 15 years ago – fans were quick to let Natalie know she still looks the same as she did in the noughties.
Wozzy on Instagram complimented Natalie: ‘The older you get, the more beautiful you look. Roll on when you are 60.’
On TikTok, user Carrie referred to Natalie’s appearance and asked, ‘Did I just go back in time?’ while Jade remarked, ‘Cascada hasn’t aged one bit since I was a teenager!’
Allura, a user on X, said, ‘Is this new!?’ and had to be told by other fans that, yes, a TikTok of Natalie working with DJ Jax Jones had only been recorded in the last 12 months.
Sovannara, also commenting in response to the video clip, said, ‘Oh queen is coming back to bring us more recession pop classics,’ while others fondly remembered their childhoods spent with Cascada’s music.
The group first hit the big time in 2005 when their single Everytime We Touch went double platinum in the UK and sold over one million copies in the US.
Evacuate the Dancefloor was released in 2009 and landed the group their first UK number one, eventually being certified platinum after selling over 600,000 copies.
In 2013, they represented Germany at Eurovision with their song Glorious – they finished in 21st place with just 18 points, two places behind the UK’s entry Bonnie Tyler.
