Emotional Oranges Drop "Candy Gum"

Emotional Oranges are turning up the heat with their latest single, Candy Gum, a delicious collaboration featuring Grammy-nominated Jessie Reyez and multi-platinum Latin pop sensation Becky G. Dropped today via Avant Garden Records and distributed by The Orchard/Colture, this track is a heady mix of smooth R&B-pop vibes, infectious grooves, and an unmistakable throwback to those early 2000s posse cuts we all grew up loving.

“We’ve been a fan of Jessie since she dropped ‘Figures’ years ago, and it’s an honor to work with Becky again—a real LA legend,” the duo says, setting the stage for a record that’s all about raw, unapologetic energy. With soulful, funky basslines and hard-hitting drums that demand you move, Candy Gum is more than just a song—it’s a vibe. Becky G sums it up perfectly: “Working with Vali and Azad is always a vibe, but this one hits different. The moment I heard the bassline, I was hooked.” And Jessie Reyez? She recalls feeling an instant surge of confidence and desire as the track unfolded.

This release marks the beginning of a major new chapter for Emotional Oranges, who are gearing up to drop their long-awaited debut album—six years after The Juice: Vol. I. Following a whirlwind 2024 with sold-out tours across the UK and Europe, two sizzling summer bangers, and a collaborative EP with Nonso Amadi, they’re clearly ready to push boundaries even further.

If you’re ready for a fresh dose of soulful, genre-blending magic, Candy Gum is your new anthem. Listen now and get in on the vibe—because this is just the beginning.
