’Mad about the boy’, performed here by Dutch sensation Caro Emerald and the wondrous Jools Holland and Orchestra, is a traditional pop classic. Dating back more than 80 years, the Noel Coward composition is best remembered by Dinah Washington’s 1952 version.
Caro Emerald is not a powerhouse singer; she is a boutique pop star who morphs genres such as jazz, r&B, pop and urban with such ease, and she has created her own place in the pop landscape. If anything this recordings highlights her lighter tones, but Caro always places her distinct voice on every recording. She along with Gin Wigmore have become my two faves this decade.
Caro Emerald has musicality oozing out of every pore, and it is just a matter of time before she takes the world by storm; having already been a household name in her native Holland, and in Britain where her sophomore album ’The Shocking Miss Emerald’ hit the top spot in 2013. I just love her inventive and stylish approach to her mosaic of recording
