Perfect Day (2007–2009)

Horler first announced that Cascada was working on their second album (Perfect Day) during a Japanese interview in July 2006, which was posted on their blog on MySpace.¹ The worldwide lead single, "What Hurts the Most", was released in late 2007 and early 2008, along with its B-side, a cover of Wham!'s "Last Christmas". It became Cascada's second best selling single in the United States, certifying gold.
In February 2008, Cascada released What Do You Want from Me?, which has become one of their lowest chartest singles, peaking at the top 50 in Austria, Germany, Slovakia and the UK.
On June 30, 2008, it was announced that the second single for the United States and Canada was "Faded" which appeared only on the North American version of Perfect Day. "Because the Night" became available as a digital download on this date as well in Europe, and received a physical release on August 4, 2008, the UK was the only country that had it's highest offical position at #28, where-as it charted within the top 40, 50 and 60 in Austria, Germany and Slovakia. "Perfect Day" was released as last single from Perfect Day as a CD maxi single in North America on February 17, 2009.

There was no further word about the album being released, and it was later canceled.

Evacuate the Dancefloor (2009–present)

On April 10, 2008, Horler announced that work on the third album would soon commence and that the album would be released in 2009. Jo Whiley announced on her Radio 1 show that Coldplay's Chris Martin will work with Cascada, but this was later confirmed false by Horler. Producer Yanou confirmed that the single and album would be released around June and also stated there would be no cover versions on the album. Evacuate the Dancefloor was released on July 6 in the United Kingdom and Germany. The lead single and title track of the album "Evacuate the Dancefloor" was released on June 29, 2009 in Europe and later in July in the United States, peaking at #1 in the UK for 2 weeks, becoming their first #1 there, #1 on the US Dance Chart and #1 in Denmark. It went top 10 in many European countries, and also Canda and New Zealand.

On May 28, an album launch party was held in London, where Horler performed tracks off the new album; "Breathless", "Draw the Line" and "Dangerous". "Breathless" and "Dangerous" have a typical hands-up "Cascada style", while "Draw the Line" is a ballad. The album was initially released in the United Kingdom on July 3, 2009 and was released in other European countries and North America in the following months. It has a completely different feel than the previous two albums. Different bass lines and new instrument sounds contrast to the traditional style of Cascada of which was the only styling used in previous songs.

On July 17, it was announced that Cascada would be the opening act for Britney Spears' The Circus Starring: Britney Spears tour, at the O₂ World in Berlin, Germany on July 26, 2009.².

"Fever" became the second single from the album in most countries including Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and was released in early October.
Cascada's United Kingdom label AATW decided to release "Dangerous" in the UK and Ireland as the second single, but was confirmed by Horler on a radio interview that it would be released in France as well, it failed to chart except for the UK where it charted at #67.

Ready or Not was mentioned as the third single for the UK, but in November 2009, "Fever" started recieving airplay on the radio and music channels. It is also featured on "Clubland 16" in the UK. It has been confirmed as the third single for the UK and Ireland, and as the second single for Australia.

Appearances in media

Before Cascada's third album, Horler didn't receive much media attention. However, following the success of Evacuate The Dancefloor, she has become, in the words of Digital Spy, a 'Star'.³ Her face has appeared in many daily newspapers such as 'The Sun' and the 'Daily Star'.

In the autumn of 2006, Horler made her first foray into television as the guest host of the viewer request show Back @ Ya on bpm:tv, a Toronto-based cable channel that broadcasts all across Canada and some parts of the United States. bpm:tv specializes in playing dance and electronica music videos. That same year, she appeared on Live with Regis and Kelly to promote Everytime We Touch.

Horler has also presented 'The Clubland Top 50' on the UK music channel 4Music, as well as the 'MTV Dance Top 50'. She has performed on various television shows, mainly in Europe. Among them is UK breakfast show GMTV: in December 2007, she performed "Last Christmas" live there to promote the UK version of Perfect Day; on July 28, 2008, she performed "Because the Night" live; and on July 3, 2009, she performed "Evacuate the Dancefloor" to promote its namesake album.
