It achieved commercial success in the United States, reaching number ten on the Billboard Hot 100. The song peaked in the number one position in Ireland and Sweden while attaining top five chart positions in Austria, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. "Everytime We Touch" has enjoyed chart success in many countries, lasting more than twenty-three weeks in different territories. The song was met with generally positive reviews from critics, with the majority of them praising its dance-pop sound and its surprising success in the American commercial market. Musically, the song was composed as a Eurodance track with a pulsating synthesizer, jackhammer beat, and Europop lyrics. It was later released internationally in association with other dance music labels including Zooland Records and All Around the World and Universal Music Group following its success in the United States. "Everytime We Touch" was first released in the United States on Augby Robbins Entertainment. It was written, composed, and produced by the band's DJs, Manian and Yanou however, the only writing/composing credits were given to Maggie Reilly, Stuart Mackilliop, and Peter Risavy, as the song borrows the chorus from Reilly's single of the same name. Nevertheless, it's a good album anyways."Everytime We Touch" is a song performed by the German techno and Eurodance trio Cascada, taken from their 2006 debut album of the same name. But it's probably not one of the best albums of all time. Why? Some of the songs on the album are absolutely amazing, and others are not so appealing.It's Cascada's best album, no doubt. To conclude, i'd give Everytime We Touch a total of three-out-of-five stars. On top of that, the main melody in the chorus of "One More Night" is exactly the same as John Elefante's "Not Just Any Other Day" (from his 1997 album Corridors).įinally, the melody on the line ".that I don't need you again/No I don't need you again" from "Bad Boy" is almost a suspicious rip-off of the refrain melody of Robin Mark's "Revival" (from his 1999 Worship album Revival In Belfast). The chord structure of the chorus of "A Never-Ending Dream" sounds suspiciously similar to Bronski Beat's "Smalltown Boy". In the case of rip-offs, it's quite obvious. What's worse is occasional references to sex, such as the line "I like the way you undress now, baby begin" on "How Do You Do", which will probably gross people out, I suspect.Īlso, beginning with "Everytime We Touch", most of Cascada's songs and remixes utilise the exact same formula over and over and over again, which gets boring after a while.
Some of the production values are brilliant, but the lyrics don't really do them justice. The only downsides about this album are described as follows:Ĭascada's lyrics almost always seem to focus on romantic love and dancing in the club, which is a shame because it makes Cascada's songs lyrically very cheesy.

Also, despite its somewhat dreadful lyrics, the lead-sound riff and open hi-hat on "Can't Stop The Rain" somewhat reminds me of the snowmen on the animated TV adaptation of Raymond Briggs' "Father Christmas". ReFX Nexus plugin, which Cascada probably used on "Miracle" and beyond.įunny enough, "One More Night" somewhat reminds me of the Disney character Goofy for some reason, whether it's the soft piano riff or the backing vocals or both combined. I've always loved its portamento leadsound (I thought it was the exact same leadsound used on t.A.T.u.'s "All The Things She Said", but I was wrong)īy the way, I discovered that the leadsound on "Miracle" is actually the "LD Hands Up 1" preset on the commercial "Miracle" is the track that introduced me to Cascada and is actually the only Cascada song I truly love, despite its dark despairing lyrics. Production innovations on songs like "Miracle", the title track (a cover of the Maggie Reilly hit), and "One More Night" give this album a sense of flavour. While it's probably not one of my favourite albums, it's nevertheless Cascada's best album so far. Cascada's first album definitely wowed fans all over when released.
