Emotional Oranges & Nonso Amadi – “Blended” EP
“I had a lot of fun working on this project with Emotional Oranges. It was my first time in LA and the experience was amazing thanks to the EO team. Being from different parts of the world, I believe the music here is significant in pushing the barriers of genres forward. There’s a blend of R&B, Afrobeats, soul, amapiano, and so many other musical inspirations that birthed the fittingly titled EP, ‘Blended.’ I’m excited to have everyone take it in and can’t wait to perform the songs as well.” – Nonso Amadi stated
The project perfectly marries the signature vibrant R&B/pop sound of Emotional Oranges with Nonso Amadi‘s infectious Afropop flair, to create something that intentionally brings light and color to the gray month of January. ‘Blended’ aptly merges together this satisfying blend of various musical influences and styles, which highlights the trio’s great musical inclination and multi-faceted combined artistic style.
