Caro Emerald - A Night Like This

Dutch singer Caro Emerald became something of an overnight superstar when she her impossibly infectious single Back It Up on a local TV station. Now, if you haven't heard said track already, go away and have a quick listen as it encapsulates everything Caro is about in its delightful encapsulation of jazzy 1940s and 50s influences.

If you like your pop with a definite dash of European sunshine and flair, then Caro is the woman for you. Classy, sassy; follow-up single A Night Like This is exactly the kind of toe-tapping number that seems to spring from the air itself when the summer rolls in. Glorious blue skies, the smell of freshly cut lawns, the track is all these things.

With its ditzy blend of piano and brass, it could easily stand side by side with some of the more up-tempo songs on Adele's recent 21 album - indeed, Caro channels much of that same natural charm that our dear Adele does; she's relatable, she's cool, she manages to add that touch of sparkle to songs. And when it comes to A Night Like This, she's sparkly very brightly indeed.

A Night Like This is released on the 16th May.
