Love feat. JSWISS / Lua feat. Roberta Silva & Onj
Bruk Rogers

Bruk Rogers (aka Cian McCann) returns with a new double single, Love featuring JSWISS, and Lua featuring Roberta Silva & Onj – two standout vocal-led cuts that build on the rich musicality and collaborative spirit of his acclaimed album Loopholes. Bringing together transatlantic hip-hop, Brazilian soul, and bruk’s rhythmic elasticity, the release highlights the depth and versatility of Bruk Rogers’ sound.

Love pairs US rapper JSWISS – a globally respected, genre-fluid MC praised by Chuck D as a “gifted storyteller” and by Nicholas Payton for carrying hip-hop’s essence forward – with Bruk Rogers’ signature broken beat framework. No stranger to the label’s orbit, JSWISS has previously collaborated with labelmate Sly5thAve, making this latest pairing a natural extension of those creative ties. The result balances sharp lyricism with warm, swinging grooves, leaning into the natural synergy between hip-hop and bruk, something Bruk Rogers has long championed in his sets and productions.

On the flip, Lua offers a more intimate, transportive moment. Featuring Brazilian artist Roberta Silva and longtime collaborator Onj, the track blends bossa nova influences with bruk rhythms, resulting in a lush, deeply emotive composition. Silva’s vocal, written during pregnancy, carries a quiet poignancy that sits beautifully within the track’s sun-dappled arrangement.

“The two most popular vocal tracks on my first album Loopholes were the ones featuring JSWISS and Roberta Silva and had Onj on keys, so it was a no-brainer to reassemble. I’ve always thought that US rappers sound great over broken beat and I hope ‘Love’ feat. JSWISS showcases that. ‘Lua’ is a love song written by Roberta to her then-soon-to-be-born daughter. She recorded it not long before giving birth and I think it’s such a beautiful sentiment. I love Bossa Nova and merging it with bruk is a match made in heaven.” Bruk Rogers
