Title: The Shocking Miss Emerald
Artist: Caro Emerald
Release Date: May 6, 2013
Caro Emerald is a Dutch born jazz singer who reminds me a bit of '50s era lounge torch singer Julie London. Her first single Back It Up unexpectedly became a European club hit when several deejays did drum 'n' bass remixes of the song. Her first album, Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor became a best seller in Europe, prompting AllMusic.com to dub her as "one of the most exciting new artists to emerge from the Netherlands in some time." With her second album, The Shocking Miss Emerald Emerald continues to play the same sort of crossover jazz that has become her trademark style.
Most of Emerald's music sounds like lounge jazz from the '50s era heyday of vocalese, but her stylistic approach to the material has a post modern twist that appeals to a young audience. Emerald writes most of her own material in collaboration with French Canadian club deejay, producer & composer Vincent de Giorgio. The embedded YouTube video is a May 4th live performance of Caro Emerald performing Liquid Lunch in Montreal.
