DUTCH pop and jazz singer Caro Emerald, pictured right, is performing in Dorset tonight.
She will be taking to the stage of the Bournemouth International Centre as part of her UK tour.
With more than 2.5 million record sales, 15 platinum discs, 32 million YouTube views, a host of awards (including an Echo, Goldene Kamera, Edison Award, EBBA & MTV Music Award), a string of sold out tours and, of course, the thrill of seeing her album The Shocking Miss Emerald enter the UK charts at number 1, it is fair to say that Caro Emerald is having a pretty good time.
Released in May throughout Europe, The Shocking Miss Emerald, Caro’s second studio album, continued the musical theme set by 2010’s debut Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor.
Her retro-pop sound is a ‘fun mix of vintage jazz, beats and pop’ that is rooted in the past yet thoroughly modern with its samples, scratching and beats blending with the rhythms and style of yesteryear.
That signature sound has proven to be a winning formula and The Shocking Miss Emerald entered both the UK and Dutch charts at number 1.
Caro will be supported by Kris Berry tonight, who will take to the stage at 7.30pm.
Caro will perform from 8.45pm.
