Bersote, an artist from Macaé, Rio de Janeiro, has released “Ferrugem na Canela,” the first single from his forthcoming EP Visto a Camisa, set to launch in September. This track, produced by the Rio-based duo Reurbana, fuses R&B with alternative pop, showcasing a distinctly Brazilian musical flair. The arrangement features robust keyboards, groovy guitars, and a pronounced bass line, combined with percussion to give the song a dynamic, live session feel.

The lyrics, created through a freestyle process, touch on the gritty realities of urban life and the impact of industrial growth, reflecting Bersote’s own experiences growing up in Brazil’s oil-rich region. His music blends personal stories with broader social issues. As a multi-talented artist—journalist, actor, and visual artist—Bersote incorporates influences from R&B, MPB, jazz, and bossa nova, creating a sound that’s both intimate and socially aware.
