About Carol

In a genre where an artist’s success is generally measured by radio airplay spins and Billboard chart positions, pianist/composer Carol Albert’s recent Hit Album “Magic Mirror” has 3 Top 5 Billboard Hits to date. Billboard #1 “Paradigm Shift”, “Magic Mirror” and “Fire & Water” gained national recognition in the Contemporary Jazz world since the release of the Album. Other Top 5 singles “Perfect Sunday” and “Stronger Now” – from her 2020 full length album Stronger Now - have crossed over to massive numbers in a metric usually touted by mainstream pop stars. Currently, “Perfect Sunday” has over 7.9M streams on Spotify and “Stronger Now” has over 2.9M. The album’s other radio hits include the Top 5 hit “Femme Flight,” which featured flutist Ragan Whiteside and saxophonist Magdalena Chovancova and earned Carol a new legion of fans via extensive airplay on SiriusXM’s Watercolors.

​

Before breaking through to the greatest commercial success of her career with a high energy twist on the classic “Mas Que Nada” (from her Fly Away Butterfly album) in 2017, the classically trained pianist, composer and producer received an Emmy nomination for her acclaimed work composing for television and released a multitude of recordings whose vibes range from singer/songwriter to solo piano and new age.
While she could never have predicted it when she released her debut album Love in Your Eyes back in 1992, the well-traveled Atlanta based artist’s elegant, free flowing piano style and passion for R&B grooves and global rhythms is a perfect fit for the urban contemporary vibe at the foundation of today’s smooth jazz. Her other big radio hits include the Top 5 single “Fly Away Butterfly,” the Latin tinged Top Ten track “Sun’s Out,” “Chasing Waterfalls” and her first Billboard charting single “One Way.” “Sun’s Out” stayed on the chart for 23 weeks and hit #1 on the Recurrent Chart. The track also reached the pole position on the Mediabase Smooth AC, Radiowave and GrooveJazz charts and hit #2 on the Smooth Jazz Top 20.
