New songs from their upcoming debut album are also available
It has been decided that Emotional Oranges, an alternative R&B/POP duo who has also publicly declared a big fan of former first lady Michelle Obama, has come to Japan. He will appear at GREENROOM FESTIVAL, which will be held at Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse from Friday, May 23rd to Sunday, May 25th (starting on the 24th (Saturday). They also released their new song “Out The Blue.” They will work hard at full throttle towards the release of their upcoming debut album.
The new single “Out The Blue” features a fusion of R&B and POP, which they specialize in, and sings about a fleeting love that suddenly appears and disappears. From the perspectives of both, the story depicts a subtle tactic between passion and disillusionment, connection and misunderstanding.

Member Vali Porter talks about his new song “Out The Blue.”
“This song, “Out The Blue,” is a heartbreak story told from two perspectives: a man who feels misunderstood and lying, and a woman who feels unacceptable and ununderstandable. They both fall in love in a beautiful way…so, they come suddenly (Out The Blue). In fact, according to the color wheel, blue is the opposite of orange, and the two are in a complementary colour.”
“Out The Blue” is a new single that shows off the different side of the Emotional Oranges. Their diversity will be demonstrated and their talent for freely transforming mood and sound will surely be recognized. The song was written and composed by members Azad Naffysy and Kelly Valentina Porter, and Dante Jones of R&B duo THEY., and produced by Dante Jones (THEY., Chris Brown). Ahead of their long-awaited debut album, it marks the beginning of a new chapter for the LA duo.

■What is Emotional Oranges?
A male and female duo based in Los Angeles, USA. The duo consisting of Azad Naficy and Vali Porter, physically expresses alternative R&B, soul and funk. Its bold, pioneering sound techniques have been praised by numerous media outlets, including Complex, Fader, Paper, VIBE, Highsnobiety, Hypebeast, BBC1, Triple J, and MTV.
He appeared in the scene in 2019 with a dashing appearance. They quickly gained cult popularity with their debut singles “Motion” and “Personal,” and their trilogy EPs “The Juice Vol. I”, “The Juice Vol. II” and “The Juice Vol. III” have streamed more than 400 million times worldwide.
In June 2021, she broke the genre barriers and expanded her sound with her collaboration mixtape The Juicebox, featuring guests of Vince Staples, Channel Torres, Kiana Lede and Becky G. Starting in the fall of the same year, he has appeared at festivals such as Lollapalooza and Coachella, has toured 24 cities in North America, 12 performances in Europe, and has held four headliner performances in Australia and New Zealand. The 2023 “Pulp Fiction Tour” was a huge success, selling out venues such as the Hollywood Palladium, Brooklyn Steel and Chicago’s House of Blues. He then released the EP “STILL EMO” featuring ZHU, Nonso Amadi and others.
In 2024, they announced their joint EP “Blended” with Nonso Amadi, and held the hugely successful “STILL EMO Tour” in Europe and the UK. They sold out Melkweg Max in Amsterdam and HERE at Outernet in London, and after returning to the United States, they released two masterpiece summer singles, “Peak” and “HOT OUTSIDE feat. Anycia.” On my recent Australia and Asia tour, Seoul’s YES24 Live Hall sold out in 24 hours.
Emotional Oranges has released six EP projects since its debut, sold out multiple world tours, and has sold out cumulative streaming of over 675 million. However, they have hardly revealed their true identity so far, but with their upcoming debut album, they will finally be able to fully demonstrate the full picture.
