Cascada: 'Dangerous'

Cascada tried something different last time out, chucking a good dollop of 'Just Dance', a generous helping of recent Britney and a sprinkling of S Club 7 into the mixer and coming up with 'Evacuate The Dancefloor', a cheap but satisfying pop trifle that stopped Michael Jackson from scoring a posthumous No.1. Its parent album, singer Natalie Horler promised, would be "a lot more interesting" than its predecessors.

However, the second single finds Cascada slipping back into old habits. The beats thump relentlessly, the chorus gives way to a honking great synth hook, and the lyrics sound as if they were translated from whatever the Japanese equivalent of a Mills & Boon novel is: "No doubt, I wanna be your lover", "I'm blinded by your eyes", "You just crossed my border now". 'Dangerous' is by no means unpalatable, but you'll probably only find it tempting in the wee hours of Saturday morning - some time between ordering your last drink and making the pilgrimage to the kebab van.
