An impromptu performance on a local TV station in her homeland of Holland led to an overnight smash for singer Caro Emerald, the track Back It Up is set to do the same in the UK when it is released on September 20th.

In Holland there was an overwhelming clamour to hear more from the new and exciting singer, but the fact was Back It Up was the only song that Caro Emerald had in the bank.

And so with her love of the music from the 40’s and 50’s Emerald and her co producers David Schreurs and Jan van Wieringen set about writing an album’s worth of new material in the same vein as the single.

The result of their efforts can be heard on the album Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor, twelve brand new tracks that will be released on October 4th through Dramatico records.

Emerald’s smouldering vocals update the classic Americano sound with a contemporary sheen and modern day suggestive lyrics, incorporating a wealth of sounds and influences.

The album falls mainly into the category of flirtatious swing  as featured on the single Back It Up, but also updates the classic movie style music of the fifties on tracks like A Night Like This and The Other Woman.

Tracks like Riviera Life, Stuck and I Know That He’s Mine, while retaining the essence of the swing theme, lean more towards contemporary pop and are a welcome break on the album preventing it from being the one dimensional affair that it does at times threaten to be.
