LA duo Emotional Oranges continue their ascendance with woozy R&B number “Built That Way”
Emotional Oranges prioritise experience over image, and their latest release “Built That Way” is enshrouded in this mystery and intrigue. As they ask for an unreserved opinion from a loved one, they encase their sound in retro melodies and funk-filled guitar rhythms.
The hushed amber tones of “Built That Way” radiate with tropical sunshine and succulent energy as Emotional Oranges gently prompt their lover to “be honest with me babe”.
The emotional vulnerability comes effortlessly as their voices melt between the luscious melody. It’s eerily sensual and sublimely curated – the couple sharing a moment of tender sincerity.
"The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu’s Mama’s Gun were very defining albums for us, both from a sonic and messaging perspective. This song is about feeling close enough to your partner that you ask them for their unfiltered opinion, even if they think their truth will hurt you."
Casting a spell of seduction with each release, “Built That Way” is romantically blissful, encouraging candidness in our most intimate moments.
