The Shocking Miss Emerald

The album was written and produced by David Schreurs, Vincent Degiorgio, Jan van Wieringen and Emerald, with contributions from Wieger Hoogendorp, Robin Veldman and Guy Chambers and released on 3 May 2013 on Grandmono Records.

[1] "Tangled Up" written by Schreurs, Degiorgio and Guy Chambers was released as the lead single from the album on 18 February 2013.

It was BBC Radio 2's Record of the Week and joined their playlist in mid-May 2013; it was 'A' listed, just as "Tangled Up" had been.

Simon Price of The Independent gave the album a positive review stating, "The danger facing this Dutch diva as she follows up the multi-platinum Deleted Scenes… in a marketplace packed with similarly retro-styled chanteuses is that she'll sound like a redundant cabaret turn.

Her secret weapon, in this respect, is producer David Schreurs, who rescues Emerald’s second album from turning into one long perfume ad, albeit a charming one.
