“Most people just didn’t see it at all. Some labels told us Caro wasn’t suitable as an artist. We realised they didn’t know what the hell they were talking about.”

Caro Emerald - Back It Up (Official Video)
from the album: Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor
"New Orleans...1951...a bar full of genius players, double dealing, sweet talking players with more on their mind than numbers, converge where the hustlers lay on the sugar thicker than the cheap wine that flows in the back rooms of the gambling halls. Eyes shift to the white girl who is obviously lost, or from out of town. And as soon as the timpani plays and she grabs the microphone, her voice moves her from pariah to princess of the pleasure dome. A coincidence ? No, not really..."Emerald's voice is divine- rich, natural jazz layered over easy listening beats infused with trombones and contrabass. Play this song with a cup of sweet sherry, on a sultry night you feel like dancing in swinging drunkenness.
