Album Review: Caro Emerald’s Videos Trailer – A Retro Jukebox on Steroids Let’s cut to the chase—Caro Emerald’s Videos Trailer isn’t just an album; it’s a time machine with Wi-Fi. Released in 2010 under Island Records (Germany), this quirky mix of Pop, Hip Hop, Jazz, and more styles than you can shake a martini at feels like someone threw a Bossa Nova record, a Swing band, and a Soul-Jazz playlist into a blender. And guess what? It works. Like, really works. First up, let’s talk about “The Trailer.” This track is basically your first date with Caro—smooth, mysterious, and kinda unforgettable. Her voice has that smoky jazz club vibe but with a modern twist that makes you wanna grab your dancing shoes (or at least tap your feet awkwardly). The beat sneaks up on you like a cat stalking its prey, all sultry and sly, before exploding into a full-on big band moment. You’re not just listening to music here—you’re living in some alternate universe where everyone wears fedoras and knows how to cha-cha. Then there’s “Back It Up - Music Clip,” which is essentially sass bottled up in audio form. It’s got that swingy bounce that’ll have you pretending you’re in a ‘50s diner while simultaneously scrolling Instagram for swing dance tutorials. The bassline alone deserves an award—it’s so funky it could start its own TikTok trend. If I had to pick one song from this album to play during a heist montage, this would be it. No questions asked. Oh, and we can’t skip over “Slideshow.” It’s less flashy than the others, sure, but it’s got this chill, almost cinematic vibe that lets you zone out while still keeping your ears perked up. Think of it as the cool older sibling who doesn’t try too hard but somehow always looks amazing. Here’s the thing about Videos Trailer: it shouldn’t work. Mixing genres like this is usually a recipe for disaster—or at least something painfully pretentious. But Caro pulls it off with such effortless charm that you don’t even notice until halfway through when you realize you’ve been humming along to Portuguese-inspired rhythms without knowing why. In conclusion, if Caro Emerald were a drink, she’d be a mojito with extra mint—refreshing, bold, and slightly addictive. Listening to Videos Trailer feels like finding a hidden speakeasy behind a bookshelf—you didn’t know you needed it, but now you can’t imagine life without it. Just don’t blame me if you suddenly feel the urge to learn the Lindy Hop or host a Gatsby-themed party.

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 . Three singles were already released at that point.
