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

Hey handsome have you got the time
I've been watching you since the moment you arrived
A white suit from London, and shoes from Paris
Don't you wanna spend about an hour with me
The scent and the aroma refuses to breathe
It's more like a haze that's trying to succeed
It's drawing me in and pulling me to you
And every thought I have turns the language blue

All it cost is just a minute now
For one dollar you can show me how
I'll take your hand and then your worries too
In just one dance I'll make your dreams come true

Your dreams come true, mmm...

Don't know why you play hard to get
I'm here to kiss away any thoughts of regret
A silk tie from Siam shows elegance and class
Handsome as the heavens that a film would never cast

But underneath the mask I see the skin of a man
Smooth and seductive who's really got a plan
It's drawing me in, magnetically to you
You haven't got forever, but I got that too

All it cost is just a minute now
For one dollar you can show me how
I'll take your hand and then your worries too
In just one dance I'll make your dreams come true

Your dreams come true
I'll make your dreams come,
I'll make your dreams come,
I'll make your dreams come true

I'm like the smoke on your fire
Smoldering endless desire
How long will your flame burn

All it cost is just a minute now
For one dollar you can show me how
I'll take your hand and then your worries too
In just one dance I'll make your dreams come true

All it cost is just a minute now
For one dollar you can show me how
I'll take your hand and then your worries too
In just one dance I'll make your dreams come true
