Emotional Oranges [2022] - The Juice: Vol. III [Avant Garden] (Full Album)

Emotional Oranges is a male/female duo from L.A. formed in 2017 by two artists who wish to remain anonymous and are simply known as "A" (an audio engineer for Drake) and "V" ( a vocal coach for Adele) who say they met at a bat mitzvah in 2017.

They released "The Juice Vol. 1" and Vol. 2 in 2019. The third volume arrived on Friday (9 Dec 2022). This one is a bit too urban for my taste, but my choice cut would be "Petty".

They have a 23 date North American tour, The Pulp Fiction Tour, scheduled for 2023.
