Following a sell out at The Hollywood Palladium this past weekend, Emotional Oranges release their first track of 2023 with the reveal of razor sharp new offering, 'Be Somebody'.

Not much is known of the LA-based R&B-Pop male/female duo, but it has been speculated that when Adele’s vocal coach and Drake’s engineer met at a bat mitzvah in 2017, the band was instantly born. A+V, described by critics and fans alike as experimental and futuristic, are the physical manifestation of alternative r&b, soul and funk.

Provocateurs extraordinaire, Emotional Oranges have been unanimously lauded everywhere from Complex, Fader, Paper, VIBE, Highsnobiety to Hypebeast, BBC1, MTV & more. They have established themselves as one of the most exciting new acts without ever even revealing themselves. Their debut singles, “Motion” and “Personal” immediately created a cult following. The Juice Vol. I and Vol. II have amassed over 263 million streams globally. In 2021, they released their first collaborative mixtape, The Juicebox. With features such as Vince Staples, Channel Tres, Kiana Ledé, Becky G and more, the duo reached to shatter genre boundaries on The Juicebox mixtape. Lollapalooza and Life is Beautiful kicked off The Sad Fruit Tour as A+V ventured across 24 US cities Fall 2021. The Sad Fruit Tour continued in Spring 2022 with 12 dates Europe, and ended with two insane weekends in the desert at Coachella.

Emotional Oranges is still hard at work with world renowned botanists to create their own type of orange, and recently invested in property to start vertical farming all different species of oranges. The juice is certainly worth the squeeze.
