Caro Emerald, born Caroline Esmeralda van der Leeuw in Amsterdam, is one of the most distinctive voices to emerge from Europe’s modern jazz‑pop scene.
Trained at the Amsterdam Conservatory, she developed a warm, cinematic vocal style that blends vintage glamour with contemporary energy. Her rise began in 2009, when the demo of “Back It Up” unexpectedly caught radio attention and introduced listeners to her retro‑inspired world.
The breakthrough came shortly after with “A Night Like This,” a stylish, jazz‑pop single that topped charts across Europe and established her as a fresh, unique presence in modern pop.
Her debut album, Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor (2010), became a phenomenon, spending an unprecedented 30 consecutive weeks at No.1 in the Dutch Album Chart—breaking the long‑standing record held by Michael Jackson’s Thriller.
Filled with swing rhythms, big‑band arrangements, and film‑noir aesthetics, the album defined her signature sound.
She continued this success with The Shocking Miss Emerald (2013), which debuted at No.1 in both the Netherlands and the UK, further solidifying her place as a leading figure in the revival of vintage‑influenced pop.
Throughout her career, Caro Emerald has earned numerous awards, including Edison Awards, MTV EMA recognition, and international acclaim for her polished, cinematic style.
Her songs—such as “That Man,” “Tangled Up,” and “Liquid Lunch”—became staples in films, series, and advertising campaigns, thanks to their timeless charm and bold, retro flair.
In recent years, she chose to step away from the Caro Emerald persona, feeling creatively ready for a new chapter.
She now records under the name The Jordan, exploring a more personal, atmospheric sound while leaving behind a legacy of modern classics that continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
I love this song so very much. Lara Fabian is an amazing performer. She shows us how she feels in…
