Hi, Emeralds
Guess who i discovered, this week... Caro Emerald.
I found her on this program, which is no longer available... sorry.

...no, no, no - it's here, too :-D

^ Proof that Tapejara Blog's written in real-time :-P
Her Wiki page is covered in the fact that her debut album knocked Jacko's 'Thriller' of the Netherlands' #1 spot for time at #1!
Although she's been semi-famous since 2010, i've caught her just in time to nudge you at her new, second album 'The Shocking Miss Emerald' which will be available in May.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Shocking-Miss-Emerald-Caro/dp/B00BS3EMNY
Caro Emerald and her band play in a style she calls 'jazzpop' - derived from 30s/40s/50s Jazz.
It's not a style i own much music in (none at all), but i'm finding it highly endearing :-)
Some songs from the new album:
'Caro Emerald, Tangled Up - BBC Radio 2 In Concert'
http://youtu.be/VtfVkUhphCo
Completely - Royal Albert Hall 2013
http://youtu.be/zq8D7hqrRuk
I Belong To You - Royal Albert Hall 2013
http://youtu.be/47_HNqC_QRw
My favourite, from the BBC gig, that caught my ear and kept me listening is 'I Belong To You'. It's a passionate song (i like them like that - no drippy stuff) and certainly sounds the Shirley Bassey tribute that she introduced it as. If you can't see the BBC material (and i know many can't) i'm afraid this is the best video i've found. You'll have to buy it to get a better recording :-P
