Biography

Dutch pop/jazz singer, born 26 April 1981 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In 2007, Caro Emerald was called upon to cut a demo for producers Jan van Wieringen, David Schreurs and Canadian songwriter Vincent Degiorgio. Caro seized the opportunity and recorded "Back It Up". Following a performance on a local Dutch TV station, the song entered the Dutch singles chart and remained there for 34 weeks. With only one track in the repertoire, David, Vincent, Jan and Caro started working on a full album, inspired by films and music from the 1940s and 1950s. Second single "A Night Like This" reached #1 on the Dutch singles chart in January 2010. Debut album Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor was released in the same week and entered the albums chart at #1; reaching Platinum status within 6 weeks. Overall, the album spent 30 weeks at #1, breaking a record set by Michael Jackson's Thriller, and it sold 260.000 copies within the year in the Netherlands alone. It is IFPI-certified Platinum with sales of over 1.3 million in Europe. Follow-up album The Shocking Miss Emerald was released in May 2013. The European arts, entertainment and fashion scene of the 1920s-1960s set the stage for this album. Like Caro's debut album, it entered the Dutch albums chart at #1. Both albums broke various sales records in the Netherlands, and Caro and the team received various awards including an MTV EMA Award (Best Dutch/Belgian Act), an EBBA Award, a Goldene Kamera and an Echo Award. In August 2022, Van der Leeuw announced she had over time become more and more estranged from the persona of Caro Emerald, and felt a certain look and sound were expected from her. She stated she was heading into a new direction for her career, by herself, as [a=The Jordan]. Three singles were already released at that point.

LYRICS

Clear the way boys
The lady has arrived
All you handsome fellas
Please wait for me to the right
Don't keep me waiting
Ooh, thank you for the drink
It's quarter past eleven
I'm not in the mood to think

Mr. band leader
Let's kick out the jam
Gimme something that'll light it up
And make my feet go bam bam bam!

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
Are impossible you see
But when it gets to Friday
What 'cha get is absolutely me

Sweeter than the candy
About to caress my lips
Imagine all the sugar
When I start to shake my lips

It's not an illusion
I'm as live as I can be
Instead of all your promises
Why don't you show all your charms to me

Mr. Band Leader
The arrangement has to change
Gimme something light it up
Won't'cha let the boogie start to play

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
Are impossible you see
But when it gets to Friday
What'cha get is absolutely me

I said Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
Are impossible you see
But when it gets to Friday
What'cha get is absolutely me

I don't want a serenade
To hear you say a thing
All I need is your attention
And a 10 karat diamond ring

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
Are impossible you see
But when it gets to Friday
What'cha get is absolutely me
