Tristán Rodríguez, stage name simply TRISTÁN!, has no qualms about describing some of his songs as “sappy ballads”. In the hands of this member of the Rusia Idk collective (to which figures such as Rusowsky and Ralphie Choo also belong), these concepts are not pejorative, but rather resolved definitions of a sound that seems to melt as the words emerge from the artist’s mouth, with a futuristic notion of tenderness that looks to the more embraceable moments of Frank Ocean and James Blake. Listen, for example, to his cover with Mori of Tenía tanto que darte: a digital cuddle.
