TRACK REVIEW: EMOTIONAL ORANGES
Emotional Oranges, the world-renowned R&B-pop duo with a knack for the unexpected, are back with their latest single, "Out The Blue." The LA-based pair, comprised of Azad Naficy and Vali Porter bring a smooth but striking shift from their recent releases, this track leans into a more understated groove, proving once again that they are masters of reinvention.
At its core, "Out The Blue" is a love story told from two sides—one feeling misunderstood and deceived, the other unseen and under appreciated. A whirlwind romance that appeared out of nowhere, just like the track’s name suggests. And if you want to get deep? Here’s a fun fact: on the colour wheel, blue is the exact opposite of orange, meaning they’re complementary. (We like what you did there.)
This latest release is an intoxicating mix of lo-fi synths, slick R&B beats, and that signature Emotional Oranges vocal chemistry. Effortlessly weaving between sultry harmonies and hypnotic rhythms, it’s a reminder of why they continue to push the genre’s boundaries. But this isn’t just another single—it’s the beginning of a whole new chapter. With their long-awaited debut album dropping later this year, Emotional Oranges are stepping into a fresh era, one that promises even bolder sonic textures and unexpected collaborations. Following the success of their CANDY GUM collab with Jessie Reyez & Becky G, the anticipation for what’s next is growing fast.
"Out The Blue" sees Emotional Oranges effortlessly blend emotion with evolution. And if this is a taste of what’s to come, we’ll take the whole damn fruit basket.
