TRISTAN RAY finds “Peace with the Past” in debut country anthem

TRISTAN RAY

Singer-songwriter TRISTAN RAY, born in Los Angeles, makes a dramatic debut with his single “Peace with the Past,” as it elegantly fuses the storytelling soul of contemporary country music with the retro-tinged heartbeat of early 2000s alt-rock. The debut single comes through Venice Music and announces TRISTAN to be a rising new star.

“Peace with the Past” adopts a cinematic feel, telling stories of lost love and emotional crossroads with the sincerity country fans seek. But for anyone reared on bands like Lifehouse and Augustana, there’s a melodic familiarity that lends the track a wistful, almost timeless charm. It’s a tricky tension of hanging on and letting go, a theme that strikes home particularly hard when you’re dealing with the memory of someone who slipped through from your life.

With “Peace with the Past,” TRISTAN RAY is carving out a place where you can face your own memories, reckon with openness, and finally, feel catharsis. For anyone who enjoys storytelling-driven vibes and a little early 2000s memories, this single is a gorgeously arranged invitation to think back, to heal, and hum along.

Jultrane captures the spirit of Vietnam through jazz on latest release “Đà Nẵng”

Jultrane

“Đà Nẵng” is an instrumental jazz experience that turns Jultrane‘s personal relationship with Vietnam into music, inspired by the city he discovered in 2025. It is a musical love letter to Vietnam, bringing impressions of the streets, the sea, and the mountains into a jazz setting, full of vibrant energy. Catchy trumpets and Art Blakey-inspired drums give the piece a lively feel. The sound is warm, uplifting, and personal to the journey of discovery.

Jultrane’s broader musical vision has been shaped by two years of meetings and discoveries in Southeast Asia and Senegal, the artist’s country of origin. These experiences place the composition in a wide context, linking travel, cultural encounters, and a desire to express different places through jazz. The trumpet offers an engaging melodic statement, and the drumming suggests a rhythmically charged approach that supports the song’s vibrant mood.

You can feel the place called “Da Nang” in the music, not the words. Jultrane draws on personal inspiration and a unique approach to jazz that reflects a connection to Vietnam, continuing a musical journey inspired by various cultures. The catchy trumpet work, uplifting feel, and connection to travel and human encounters make it a strong introduction to Jultrane’s evolving vision and ambition to take this music to stages around the world.
