Editorial Reviews

2010 debut album from the Dutch Jazz vocalist. Caro Emerald is the new kid on the block, but, boy, does she sound like she's been around! A voice so seductive and sultry, it's hard to believe she just recorded her debut album, a mix of 1950's-inspired ballroom Jazz, cinematic Tangos, groovin' Jazz tracks, infectious Mambos and banging beats. 12 tracks.

This CD has rapidly made it onto my heavy rotation playlist and is a road trip staple! Such an interesting blend of jazz, tango, hip hop, pop, soul and something else that can't be articulated! Perhaps it's because she is Dutch, but there just isn't anything else out there like this. Anyone familiar with the Verve Remixed compilations will probably enjoy this modern adaptation of classic style and nostalgic sex appeal. While some of the lyrics fall short ("Mr. Band Leader, let's kick out the jam, give me something that will light it up, and make my feet go bam bam bam"?! Really?!), still, the overall groove and tone of the songs make up for it. Certainly worth a listen and several songs are posted on youtube in full with the official Dutch music videos...

I was introduced to Caro Emerald on a radio show where they never specifically spelled out her name so it took awhile to find her album. Her name is NOT Carol Emmeraux, Carol Emiril, or Carol Emeraude.

She is a great female vocalist with a beautiful voice backed up with excellent musicians. The tracks are stimulating, interesting, and fun. A few tracks have a James Bond feel, especially "A Night Like This", "The Other Woman", and the guitars on "The Lipstick on His Collar".

The music is a mix of jazz and hip-hop with a 1930's feel to a few tracks. Listen to the samples and enjoy. To hear a sample of her voice, there are a few a capella versions of her songs.

Personal Favorites: That Man, Just One Dance, Riveria Life, The Other Woman, You Don't Love Me, Stuck, I Know That He's Mine, A Night Like This

A friend of mine who was on a European tour this summer recommended Caro Emerald after seeing her live.

Actually, what she said was "You need to go ahead and download "That Man". I have found a new band that I love, because it has everything: pin-up girl singer, dj on the stage, and a band. And it sounds a little like the Muppets".

which is actually a fairly good description. To me, all the music has a late-40s swing/early 50s club vibe to it, plus sort of a Fatboy Slim kinda thing going on. It's really great.

And, "That Man" is oddly reminiscent of The Muppet Show opening theme.

To me, that's a big bonus.

I find these songs getting stuck in my head at odd times, but that's okay. they're all pretty darn good.

Enjoy!
