Frontwoman of Cascada, Natalie Horler, recently revealed in an interview that she used to struggle with debilitating shyness while recording songs in the 2000s and early 2010s. Despite the success of the German trio during this time, with chart-topping hits like "Everytime We Touch" and "Evacuate the Dancefloor", Natalie would often feel physically ill before performing due to her nerves.
In her recent interview with Metro, Natalie shared that she was so shy that she wouldn't even attempt karaoke, despite knowing deep down that she could sing better than anyone in the room. She laughed as she recalled her childhood and her desire to become a singer, but her fear of performing in front of others held her back.
Even during her first time in a professional studio at the age of 17, Natalie's shyness was still a major obstacle. She even had to ask the studio executives to turn around and not watch her while she recorded her vocals. This may seem embarrassing in retrospect, but it was necessary for Natalie to overcome her nerves and deliver her best performance.
Natalie also shared that singing at her sister's intimate wedding ceremony, with only around 40 guests, still caused her a great deal of anxiety and pressure. She admitted that being a world-famous singer was not the most obvious career path for someone as shy as her, but she has learned to manage her nerves and still put on an incredible show for her fans.
Speaking of her fans, Natalie reassured them that she will always include their favorite hits in her live shows, despite the fact that she may get tired of singing them. She expressed her gratitude for her success and the love and warmth she receives from her audience when she performs.
Cascada's popularity in the UK was overwhelming, with their hit single "Evacuate the Dancefloor" even knocking Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" off the number one spot the week after his death. Natalie recalls this as a strange and intense time, but she was grateful for the success of the song.
Despite her success, Natalie admits that she doesn't listen to her own music often. In fact, she only listens to it when she performs on stage. But she was excited to return to the studio to record their new album, "Studio 24", which includes covers of songs from the iconic New York nightclub, Studio 54, as well as original tracks.
Natalie described the disco era as a time when people could do whatever they wanted without any rules, and she wanted to capture that feeling on the new album. She also revealed that she has never taken a break in her 20-year career and has no plans to slow down, as she loves her job and being on stage.
In a heartfelt message to her fans, Natalie assured them that they will see her for many years to come and that she is grateful for their support and love. Cascada's new album, "Studio 24", is set to release on October 11, and Natalie is excited for this new chapter in their career. She ended the interview with a message to her fans: "I think you're going to see me for quite a few years to come."
