We miss those days of the 1970s and 80s when radio was jam-packed with music from great R&B bands. That’s why we’re so thankful that the Netherlands-based R&B band Tristan is around, and why we look forward to every release.
The quintet has a keen sense of classic soul, funk and pop, and they bring high energy to every song on their always-fun albums.That’s especially true on their brand new release, Seven. As group member Coen Molenaar told us, “With 12 new tracks in our vocabulary, we got a fresh start on the road, doing what we love dearly: Spreading positive energy through our music, while taking our audience for a ride they won’t soon forget.”
Legendary Incognito leader Bluey echoes the compliments we’ve bestowed on Tristan: “For a band to progress and continue to be impactful in an industry that is ever charging, it has to continue to develop whilst retaining its identity. With their 7th album “SEVEN”, Tristan are proof of that! Quality music played by top shelf musicians on yet another creative journey that feeds the soul!”
The brand new single from Seven is one we think you’re going to love. “Diamonds” is a song that straddles the lines between soul, dance and jazz beautifully, telling of the glory of a relationship that is like a precious diamond.
We are happy to share “Diamonds” as our newest SoulTracks Choice Cut. Check it out below (along with the full album Seven) and enjoy Tristan with us!
