Rebūke Drops Emotional New Single ‘Teardrops’ Featuring Karin Park

Rebūke is back with a powerful new release: Teardrops, featuring haunting vocals from Karin Park, out now on his own ERA label. Accompanied by the hypnotic B-side ‘Aingeal’, this emotionally driven release is a glimpse into Rebūke’s upcoming debut album The World of Era, expected later this summer.

Blending futuristic techno elements with melancholic storytelling, ‘Teardrops’ hits deep with its heartfelt lyrics, lush atmospheres, and cinematic production. Park’s vocals pierce through layers of rich textures, expressing vulnerability and beauty with every note. The track is co-written by Melissa De Kleine, who also collaborated with Rebūke and deadmau5 on ‘Endless’.

“‘Teardrops’ is one of my favorite new tracks. The powerful synths combined with the raw emotion in Karin’s vocals is incredible. The visual focuses on a woman captured in the center frame as she expresses a range of emotions, eventually shedding neon tears of sadness.”

This isn’t your typical club track—it’s a moment. Karin Park explains: “I love when sadness can turn into something beautiful and be shown to the world like a flower instead of bitterness. I put all my heart and soul into this and working with someone as dedicated as Rebūke makes it even better.”

Co-writer Melissa De Kleine adds further emotional depth, revealing: “When I wrote ‘Teardrops’ with Karin, I kept hearing: ‘teardrops all over my face.’ The song doesn’t need to refer to romantic love—it could be about someone you lost. For me, it became a way to cope with losing a close friend to leukemia. Writing this was an emotional release.”

This release follows a string of high-profile appearances and collabs for Rebūke. From his Coachella debut to a standout b2b with Chris Avantgarde at Anyma’s Sphere residency in Las Vegas, Rebūke has made 2024 one for the books. Add in tracks like ‘Choose Life’ with Linska, ‘Endless’ with deadmau5 & Ed Graves, and remixes like ‘Not Exactly‘—and you have an artist shaping the sound of this era.

With The World of Era, Rebūke isn’t just releasing music—he’s building an immersive world. If ‘Teardrops’ is any indication, this debut album is going to be more than just a collection of tracks—it’s going to be a story worth hearing, feeling, and living through.
