What if we listened to an album without trying to label it? With You Get It or You Don’t, D’Lourdes invites us to do just that—to let go. There’s folk, there’s rock, there’s R’n’B-pop… sure. But more than anything, there’s freedom. A raw, vibrant sense of fluidity runs through all twelve tracks, refusing to be boxed in or pinned down.
D’Lourdes is a singular artistic force. A Filipino-American, non-binary artist, they are often seen as part of the rising queer wave—but their expression reaches far beyond any one label. This isn’t just a “queer” album. It’s a free one. One that explores becoming, evolving, and the refusal to be fixed in place.
Their voice is the constant: deep, soulful, and fully inhabited. It’s the thread that carries us from cinematic folk landscapes to slick pop grooves to gritty rock edges. One moment you’re wrapped in warmth; the next, you’re moved to question everything.
