CD Review: Caro Emerald - The Shocking Miss Emerald
Perhaps we didn't get the memo but we're still working out the shocking bit, unless we're talking womanshows-ankle-to-chimney-sweep kind of shocking.
Caro is certainly the sort of performer who you could imagine giving a knowing wink in between a cheeky lyric or two and the voice has a twirl that makes you smile.
This new one of hers is light, fun and inspired by Paris, ergo it is stylish and jazz-age infused.
The stakes are high as Caro's breakthrough album sold like a crazy thing but those stakes needn't have worried. Sassy, smouldering and quite possibly the soundtrack to your summer.
VEDICT: 3/5
