Emotional Oranges

Emotional Oranges are an anonymous American duo, a man and a woman known publicly only as V and A, based in Los Angeles and built around a deliberately mysterious public image. They emerged in 2018 with the singles «Motion» and «Personal», the latter becoming a slow-burning breakout hit that established their signature blend of smooth R&B songwriting and airy, sun-bleached pop production.

Their sound draws heavily on West Coast influences — laid-back grooves, warm analog textures, and close vocal harmonies traded between the two singers — giving songs like «West Coast Love» and «Sundays» a nostalgic, breezy quality that nods to classic soul while staying rooted in contemporary R&B minimalism. Rather than a traditional album rollout, the duo built their catalogue through a series of «The Juice» EPs, releasing music steadily while keeping their identities concealed.

Tracks such as «Corners of My Mind», «Just Like You», «Hold You Back» and «Built That Way» further showcase their focus on intimate, relationship-driven songwriting delivered with understated confidence. Emotional Oranges have cultivated a devoted following through this combination of consistent output, tightly crafted melodies, and the intrigue of remaining publicly anonymous while performing and touring.
