Mixed Emotions was a German pop music group formed in 1986, originally consisting of vocalists Drafi Deutscher and Oliver Simon. Drafi Deutscher sang, wrote/co-wrote and produced/co-produced all Mixed Emotions songs (many of which were co-written with regular producer and musical contributor Christopher Evans Ironside).

Their best known hit is probably that from their first year, the song "You Want Love (Maria, Maria)". Other well known songs are "Bring Back (Sha Na Na)", "Sweetheart - Darlin' My Dear", "Just for You" and "I Never Give Up". After five best selling singles and two successful albums the group split in 1989.

In 1991 Drafi Deutscher decided to continue with a new member, Andreas Martin, under a slightly changed name - New Mixed Emotions. The new line-up released an album called Side By Side and two singles.

In 1999 the original line-up of Drafi Deutscher and Oliver Simon reunited under the original name Mixed Emotions for a new album called We Belong Together consisting of 2 new songs and 11 remakes (new music, new vocals) of their old hits. They had a number of successful of tv appearances. Following this album the group disbanded again.
