Cooking Vinyl Signs Caroline van der Leeuw

Cooking Vinyl are proud to announce the signing of chart-topping, multi-platinum global artist Caroline van der Leeuw, formerly of Caro Emerald, to a worldwide artist services deal. Caroline van der Leeuw has signed the deal under her new artist name, The Jordan. The Jordan’s debut album Nowhere Near The Sky will be released on 10th February 2023. 

Van der Leeuw had huge success fronting the Dutch jazz-pop band Caro Emerald. The group’s 2010 debut album, Deleted Scenes From A Cutting Room Floor, and the 2013 follow-up, The Shocking Miss Emerald, both went to No.1 in their homeland. Their debut spent 30 consecutive weeks at the top of the domestic charts, as they broke a record that had been held for almost three decades by Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

Speaking on the signing, Caroline van der Leeuw says, “Starting over from scratch with The Jordan is by far the biggest leap in the dark I ever took. I have spent a long time searching for the right team to do it with. Cooking Vinyl felt like the right place to be from the very start. A bigger independent label with a very impressive resumé and a very personal approach, who will stick with me for the long run.” 

Cooking Vinyl MD Rob Collins adds, “Caro has reinvented herself in spectacular fashion and, with producer David Kosten, she has made a simply stunning record that I just had to be part of,”
