The jazz singer: Caro Emerald

I’m a sucker for a girl with a big voice and a retro sensibility, hence my new obsession with Miss Caro Emerald. She’s a jazz singer from Amsterdam who’s been seriously rocking the Netherlands for the last couple years. Her debut album, Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor, set a new record after spending a whopping 30 weeks as the top album in the nation. The previous record holder? Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

Even more importantly, her song “Back it Up” is so undeniably danceable it’s a challenge to stay seated while listening to it. Anyway, this chick is amazing. Check her out!
