[edit] Career
[edit] Endless Summer
Endless Summer was released as the first single of the Siria project and was featured recently on the compilation Max Dance 07 Vol.1 released by Marian Records in the United States. When it was first released to DJ's in December 2004, it introduced the music style that would prove very successful for the Cascada project with Everytime We Touch in 2005. Initially, fans of Cascada assumed that the group had changed their name to Siria due to legal problems with the name Cascada (they had previously been called Cascade until another artist with the same name threatened a lawsuit), though it was soon understood that this was just a side project of Manuel Reuter (DJ Manian) and Natalie Horler, without Yanou.
[edit] I Will Believe It
In early 2005, Siria released "I Will Believe It" on the "Endless Summer/I Will Believe It" 12" single. There are two mixes of the song. The first is a Euro-Trance version, which is similar to DJ Manian and Natalie's other single "Reason" released by another one of their projects, Diamond. The other remix is the "Cascada Remix", which has a darker but similar style to the then-recently released Everytime We Touch. The U.S. release of the single comes with eight mixes featuring DJ Lenny B, Solar City and is available through Marian Records, Inc. The single peaked at #23 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart.
[edit] Mislabelings
Siria's songs have often been mislabelled as Cascada songs, because the styles are very similar because Siria is essentially made up of part of Cascada.
[edit] Siria's Future
With the immense success of the Cascada project worldwide, DJ Manian has announced that there are no planned Siria singles in the near future. For the time being, Cascada's similar sounding singles should be sufficient in filling up the absence of new Siria singles. However, in the United Kingdom, both Siria songs have been released under the Cascada name on Cascada's second album, Perfect Day, both in slightly edited forms. Due to both songs being previously released in the United States by Marian Records under the Siria name, I Will Believe It and Endless Summer will not be included on the American release of Perfect Day, which will instead feature exclusives songs not available in any other markets.
