Darlene - Don't Love You but Want To (2023) [Hi-Res]

DON’T LOVE YOU BUT WANT TO is the latest album from brazilian travesti artist Darlene, and her second music project in collaboration with Municipal K7 label, her debut being ‘Nascido em Swampland’ (2021), under the name Crocodilo Slam.

Originally from Rio Verde - Goiás (a state located in the center-west region of Brazil), the 25 years old artist currently lives in São Paulo, where she found a safer place to transition and create art at her own rhythm. From Darlene: “To be travesti is to be somewhat amphibious, for me. The way I feel separation between my body and my habitat is a delicate thing. When outside, I both fear and expect violence, but also get to experience everything else that is good and lovable. I navigate like a weird, mutant creature. Soon I tire my senses, so I go back to my bedroom, and thats where the music take its form. 'DON’T LOVE YOU BUT WANT TO' is my own hyperromantic expedition through the collective memories of unforeseen creatures. An expedition that pulls us to the bottom of the ocean, where the continuous genesis of the self never ceases, and the always changing geology is indiscernible from the transmuting bodies of amphibious nature, lungs turned into gills, gills turned inside out."
