‘The Shocking Miss Emerald’ is Caro Emerald’s long awaited second album. Where Caro’s multi-platinum selling debut album, ‘Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor’, took its inspiration from the Hollywood cinema and the glitz and glamour of the jazz scene, ‘The Shocking Miss Emerald’ is inspired by the epicentre of style, romance, excitement and dangerous liaisons – Paris.

 

Picture Man Ray and his Bohemian friends roaming the streets of Montparnasse, famous hotels, shady cabarets and bars where fashionable dames, struggling artists and foreign visitors mingle. Caro takes part in it, reminisces about her life in the spotlight, but never fails to take her listeners backstage, away from the stage, to where the work is done, the tears are shed and the credits are earned, not just cashed in.

 

The main theme, if you will, of ‘The Shocking Miss Emerald’ is style. Style has always played an important role in the Caro Emerald world, and this album emphasizes Caro not only as a great singer, but also a sophisticated and timeless style icon. The first single, the hooky, hip-hop tango ‘Tangled Up’, is stylish, classy and sassy pop - Caro’s trademark - and is a delicious appetiser for the new album. ‘Tangled Up’ is written by Vince Degiorgio, David Schreurs and Guy Chambers, with production by Caro's steady production team of Schreurs and Jan van Wieringen.

 

Smouldering, charismatic and with an appealingly aesthetic eye for presentation, Caro Emerald is a truly original pop star.  ‘Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor’, so joyful and overflowing with retro-loveliness, sold more than 1.3 million copies across Europe, dominating the charts for 30 weeks in Holland, and in Britain spent nine weeks in the top 10 and was certified platinum. Caro performed on UK TV shows including Jools Holland’s Hootenanny, Strictly Come Dancing and BBC’s Children In Need and her music became a permanent fixture on the airwaves with Radio 2 adding all five singles to the A List and making the record Album Of The Week. Caro’s live performances included an astonishing set in London’s Hyde Park and at the Isle of Wight Festival and her sold out headline UK tour garnered rave reviews.

 

Caro has also dominated the German music scene, and recently picked up the prestigious Golden Camera Award for ‘Best International Music Artist’, the ‘International Newcomer Award’ at the Echo Awards and  was nominated for the Swiss Music Award ‘Best Breaking Act International’. More recently, America has discovered Caro and in January she played sold out shows in Los Angeles and New York to great acclaim. Her live performance is not to be missed - reviewing the show at The Roundhouse, The Times declared the atmosphere to be “part carnival, part high-school prom”, praising her “magnificent vocals” and concluding that “When she finally bounced off stage, punching the air, it felt like a whirlwind had hit North London.”

 

In March Caro previewed the new album at three shows including a sold out night at Royal Albert Hall (“Last night’s show was a finger-clicker of the highest order” – Evening Standard). ‘Tangled Up’ has already become a favourite on the airwaves, currently in the top 20 airplay chart with impressive national exposure including on Radio 2 and Smooth.
