{|Caro Emerald|} came out of nowhere in 2009 with the summertime hit {|Back It Up,|} a catchy jazz-pop song with a dance beat. The follow-up single, {|A Night Like This,|} was an even bigger hit, topping the Dutch charts. By the time {|Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor|} came around, {|Emerald|} was well established as one of the most exciting new artists to emerge from the Netherlands in some time, and her full-length album debut was eagerly awaited. It includes the smash hit singles {|Back It Up|} and {|A Night Like This,|} both written by {|Vincent de Giorgio|}, {|David Schreurs|}, and {|Jan van Wieringen|}. The latter two Dutchmen are {|Emerald|}'s producers. They released {|Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor|} on their Amsterdam label {|Grandmono Records|}. In addition to the pair of singles, the album includes ten new songs quite varied in style. {|Just One Dance|} is straight dance-pop with dashes of jazz, and {|The Lipstick on His Collar|} draws from both {|Amy Winehouse|} circa {|Back to Black|} (2006) and {|Portishead|} circa {|Dummy|} (1994). {|The Other Woman|} is another song that brings to mind {|Winehouse|} and {|Portishead|}. Other songs like {|Dr. Wanna Do|} go heavy on the jazz. {|Emerald|} is a talented singer and she sings in English well, but in the end, the varied jazz-pop productions and the slick dance beats are what set her apart from the crowd. Fans of the initial singles should find plenty else to enjoy on {|Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor|}, which finds {|Emerald|} trying out a number of different jazz-pop styles. ~ Jason Birchmeier Less
