You can visit Youtube and look her up, enough videos will pop up for you to form a more or less reliable opinion. I won't be recommending any tracks, since the album is pretty consistent throughout with a wealth of styles and registers. Even the highs have a particular quality to them that only enhances the "neo-retro" (isn't that an oxymoron?) aesthetic. She possesses a warm, well-controlled voice which never outstays its welcome and never sounds too harsh, ear-piercing or abrasive. She also feels genuine, and definitely in her element, so she probably had those composers write the stuff for her just because she felt unable to do it herself. I don't think many other singers would be able to breathe so much life into these compositions. She does deserve her credit for the delivery and stylisation, though. The rating would have been higher, but Caro Emerald unfortunately isn't entirely her own artist - all her material is written by some Dutch composers. Not to mention that the album is just pretty darn fun to listen to in its own right.

And relatively simple as it is, it could potentially incline some people to take a shot at true jazz. However, the upside is that to my knowledge at least, no one has attempted to create something like this before. Your typical jazz connoisseur is probably too elite to appreciate this stuff, as it has been quite noticeably "tainted" by radio-friendliness-enhancing gimmicks, such as often simple, looped, sampled drums, usage of filters and effects and the aforementioned scratches and vocal sampling.

And most of the songs -almost- wouldn't feel out of place in a Tarantino movie if Caro took herself a bit more seriously and wasn't so humorously corny. Yeah, it makes you think of all those old crime stories. As the album title suggests, the album is also pretty uh. uhhh I mean self-respecting woman) could easily relate to. I know this probably sounded a bit pejorative, but it does have its uncanny charm - and combined with the timeless character of many of her lyrics, creates an experience one (especially a golddi. Everything is supposed to remind you of the first half of the 1900s: Caro's "gangster's girlfriend" image, her lyrics about casinos, falling in love with total assholes and making a prima donna #1 lady out of herself. The lyrical themes of this album usually match the musical, and this is even further reflected in the music videos. Everything's also flavored with modern electro-pop instrumentation and even some effects such as scratches here and there. "Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor" is a collection of songs kept in the jazzy/swingy aesthetic, with the faster-paced songs borrowing heavily from dixieland, while the slower ones more leaning towards cool jazz and even lounge music.

I have always wondered why Sputnik has never really noticed Caro - she used to be quite the big thing in media and has received quite a share of radio and TV exposure. Fans of the initial singles should find plenty else to enjoy on Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor, which finds Emerald trying out a number of different jazz-pop styles.Review Summary: A very entertaining and adequately humorous blend of retro jazz and pop delivered by a charming, charismatic vocalist. Emerald is a talented singer and she sings in English well, but in the end, the varied jazz-pop productions and the slick dance beats are what set her apart from the crowd. "The Other Woman" is another song that brings to mind Winehouse and Portishead. "Just One Dance" is straight dance-pop with dashes of jazz, and "The Lipstick on His Collar" draws from both Amy Winehouse circa Back to Black (2006) and Portishead circa Dummy (1994). In addition to the pair of singles, the album includes ten new songs quite varied in style. They released Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor on their Amsterdam label Grandmono Records.

The latter two Dutchmen are Emerald's producers. It includes the smash hit singles "Back It Up" and "A Night Like This," both written by Vincent de Giorgio, David Schreurs, and Jan van Wieringen.

By the time Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor came around, Emerald was well established as one of the most exciting new artists to emerge from the Netherlands in some time, and her full-length album debut was eagerly awaited. The follow-up single, "A Night Like This," was an even bigger hit, topping the Dutch charts. Caro Emerald came out of nowhere in 2009 with the summertime hit "Back It Up," a catchy jazz-pop song with a dance beat.
