In 2008 singer Caroline van der Leeuw, artist name Caro Emerald, was as happy as a child that she could sing the song Back It Up live at AT-5 in Amsterdam. After that, the positive reactions came soon and in July 2009 she decided to release this song via her own record label Grandmono Records. The successes then accumulated in rap temp, first with her big hit A Night Like This and then the charming singer won several major music prizes including the MTV Award for the best Dutch and Belgian act, the Scale of Rigter, an Edison in the category 'Best Singer and the 3 FM Mega Award 2010. Her debut album Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor was number 1 in the album top 100 for more than 30 weeks and as a whipped cream on the price pie she received from Giel Beelen on 15 January this year the Popprijs 2010. On 21, 22 and 23 December 2010 she and her 16-piece live band The Grandmono Orchestra performed in a stiff sold-out Heineken Music Hall. From the catchy and typical 1950s announcement of Greg Shapiro to the uplifting final piece Stuck , Lady Emerald knows how to enchant her audience with beautiful live versions of her album songs. The band, with solid base players Wieger Hoogendorp, Daan Herweg and Martin Broeders, supplemented with, among others, the new band leader Stefan Kruger (Zuco 103), the 'sexy strings and the horny horns', as Greg jokingly announces them, plays fervently, tightly and with a lot of conviction and pleasure. The enthusiastic audience can not get enough of all Caro classics, which literally pass by and sing, jump, dance and hip cradle that it is a sweet lust. All songs from Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor, including of course Back It Up , That Man and megahit A Night Like This are played, supplemented by the two previously unreleased tracks Close To You and Two Hearts and a short, playful version of Bad Romance by Lady Gaga. In 81 minutes the Caro Emerald revue rushes past you, tasteful, seductive, in style and with class. The commercial success of the modernized and jazzy 1950s approach of Caro Emerald knows no boundaries for the time being. At the same time I am very curious how she deals with this and which creative choices the most successful Dutch pop diva will make in the future. But that is for later care, for now it's harvest time for Miss Emerald: 'Clear the way boys, the lady has arrived!'
