Emotional Oranges

Emotional Oranges was formed in 2017 when "A", an audio engineer for Drake, and "V", a vocal coach for Adele, met at a bat mitzvah.[1]

The group uses single letters as pseudonyms for its members in order to "live a normal life."[2] They actively engage with their followers, referred to as the "citrus squad," through Instagram messages.[3]

The group released its first single "Motion" on SoundCloud on May 4, 2018. It was later used as the theme song of RuPaul's Drag Race.[4]

On May 10, 2019, the group released its first studio album, The Juice: Vol. I. On November 8, 2019, the group released its second studio album, The Juice: Vol. II. Both albums were released through Avant Garden Records and Island Records.[5][6][7]

Emotional Oranges has cited The Weeknd, The xx,[8] Lauryn Hill,[9] and Matty from The 1975[10] as influences.

Off the back of this release, Emotional Oranges sold out its first headline run, called The Chill, Baby Chill tour.[11] After playing the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles and the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, the group toured Europe for shows in London, Paris and Amsterdam. Leading up to the release of its second project, Emotional Oranges went back on the road for A Very Emotional Tour[12] with support from Avant Garden label-mates Chiiild.
