Following the enormous success of their 2024 Tears and Gearz<\/strong> tour, which captivated audiences across the USA, Canada, and the UK, it was only a matter of time before Bentley Robles<\/a><\/strong> and Zee Machine<\/a><\/strong> took their creative journey to the next level as a duo. They strongly hinted at this ambition with their recent track, \u201cLock Me Up!<\/a><\/strong>\u201d released in February. As summer approaches, excitement builds around Tears & Gearz<\/strong> as these talented collaborators officially unveil \u201cDelusional<\/strong>,\u201d marking the launch of their partnership as a formidable duo. This debut track sets the stage for what promises to be an exhilarating musical venture.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was clear: the people wanted a band. So TEARS & GEARZ was born \u2014 a glitter-drenched lovechild of The 1975, Wham!<\/strong>, and queer heartbreak on the dancefloor. Their debut single \u201cDELUSIONAL<\/strong>\u201d is funky, flirty, and totally unhinged \u2014 just like the duo themselves.\u201d A statement affirms.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Happily, we know what to expect from both Bentley Robles and Zee Machine. Also happily, they are giving queer-coded pop goodness in spades. Notably, they keep things in-house, linking up with long-time songwriter and producer collaborator Dominic Florio<\/strong>, who singularly assisted both artists with some of their campiest, pop songs.<\/p>\n\n
