2009 sees the return of Cascada to the charts with their third album release Evacuate The Dancefloor. The single of the same name was released just last week in the UK. For seasoned Cascada fans, this is just a walk in the park but here’s the shocker: there are NO COVER VERSIONS on the album!! Yep, all the tracks are original material….
The open track is the self titled Evacuate The Dancefloor which I’ve already covered in a previous posting so no need to go into this again. Track two (Hold On) lulls the listener into a false sense of belief by making the start sound like a cheesy pop song before heading into the dance side of things. Fever (Track 5) has your genetic dance song markings. And track 6 (Hold our Hands Up)…sorry, is this still a Cascada album?! An Acoustic poppy ballad?? Where did this come from?It’s brilliant!! Surprisingly for this album as well, Draw The Line (Track 11) is the only song to have the Candlelight treatment (the norm is usually the first track to be lifted from the album gets it…)
Lyrically, the album is sound. It’s musically that I have the main problem with. Some of the tracks you feel that you could easily go and lifted the previous albums and say ‘yep that this track, that’s that one…”. There’s only so many times that this the same track can be used. You can change the outside, but the inside will be the same.
Overall, it’s goo to see that Team Cascada have finally managed to move away from the covers and have finally managed to produce an album of completely original material (lyrically). It will be interesting to see what the fans have to say about it and it will be interesting to see how this album fares without the covers to float it.
