Following the explosive debut of\u00a0‘CANDY GUM,’<\/b>\u00a0the first single from their highly anticipated debut album, global R&B-Pop duo\u00a0Emotional Oranges<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>deliver a bold new music video that\u00a0transforms the track’s infectious energy into pure eye candy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0The video unites the dream team:\u00a0Vali Porter\u00a0<\/b>of Emotional Oranges alongside the Grammy-nominated\u00a0Jessie Reyez<\/b>\u00a0and multi-platinum Latin pop sensation\u00a0Becky G<\/b>. Inside a chic hotel suite, the trio capture lighting in a bottle as they get ready for a night on the town. They serve looks, spill tea, and bring the energy in every frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0<\/i>Directed by Iranian-born filmmaker\u00a0Zhamak Fullad<\/b>, the video reflects Emotional Oranges member\u00a0Azad Naficy’s\u00a0<\/b>commitment to Middle Eastern representation and uplifting its creative voices. The result is a visual feast that channels early 2000s nostalgia with a futuristic twist. The band’s unmistakable sound is brought to life, set against the perfect backdrop for the track’s deep basslines, cheeky lyrics, powerhouse vocals, and undeniable groove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0“We’ve been sitting on this video for a minute, so it feels good to finally let it loose,” said\u00a0Emotional Oranges<\/b>. “Jessie and Becky pulled up and absolutely bodied it. There’s something about three powerful women talking their talk over funky basslines and pocket drums that just hits right. We knew the visual had to match that energy and this video feels like a fever dream you don’t want to wake up from. It made it even more meaningful to bring in Zhamak as an Iranian director to help tell the story. This whole album has been about locking in with people we respect and pushing the sound somewhere new. If this is your first taste, you’re in for a ride.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Becky G<\/b>\u00a0shares, “Working with Vali and Azad is always a vibe, but this one hits different. From one LA artist to another, getting to put my grain of sand on their debut album means a lot. The second I heard this track, the bassline immediately pulled me in. I can’t wait for the fans to listen, they’re really gonna love this song. And, of course, props to my girl Jessie Reyez for going in on this one!”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Jessie Reyez<\/b>\u00a0adds, “I remember when I heard the music, I immediately felt bravado. It was instant.\u00a0The music was very evocative of sexual confidence and of desire. So when I closed my eyes and opened my mouth, that’s exactly what came out. Yoni and Azad are great. The energy<\/a> in the room felt right and shout out Val and Becky G for killing it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0The drop builds on the momentum of\u00a0‘CANDY GUM’\u00a0<\/b>and ‘Out The Blue’<\/b>, both of which earned widespread acclaim and strong editorial support, including placements in\u00a0Spotify’s R&B Weekly<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Channel-X<\/b>, and coverage from top outlets such as\u00a0Wonderland, UPROXX, Notion, ET Online, The Line of Best Fit, TMRW,\u00a0<\/b>and\u00a0Hunger.<\/b>\u00a0As Emotional Oranges gear up for their debut album, the duo continues to raise the bar and build a world that fuses sound, style, and culture like no one else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
