I've been a fan of Caro Emerald ever since I heard her hit "That Man" in high school. The Dutch songstress's blend of old-timey vintage sound and more modern producing techniques put her in a genre that is mostly Electro Swing (which, when you do a google search on the term, pretty quickly pulls up this article on why it's the worst music genre of all time, which um, alright, thanks Vice). Her most recent EP, Emerald Island, keeps that vintage sound but adds some Exotica to the mix, delivering a sultry smooth throwback EP for when you want to lounge on the beach with a martini, or just lie around the house in the Summer and pretend you're on a beach, being glamorous and alternating between getting your heart broken and breaking hearts yourself.
