Halo

Description

BAKAR ANNOUNCES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SECOND ALBUM HALO RELEASED SEPTEMBER 1ST Fresh off the heels of his latest single, ‘Alive!’, British artist Bakar announces his highly anticipated second album, titled Halo, set to be released on September 1st via Black Butter. Halo marks the beginning of a new era for Bakar. Following his acclaimed 2018 mixtape, BADKID, Bakar can be likened to a modern-day Jack Kerouac on this second album, exploring the dichotomy he feels as a young artist between the nomadic solitude of a life constantly on tour and the 'lifestyle' of being a musician. Halo will include his latest single, ‘Alive!’, giving listeners a taste of what to expect from the enigmatic young Londoner’s mind. Hailing from Camden, Bakar brings together the lyrical prowess of a rapper, the skill of a producer, and the songwriting talent of a singer. His early musical influences stem from London’s burgeoning grime scene, as well as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and English indie bands like The Maccabees. Bakar took the music scene by storm with his 2018 mixtape BADKID, produced in collaboration with his frequent collaborator Zach Nahome. His 2019 US number one single, ‘Hell N Back’, became a remarkable success by reaching the Top 20 of the UK Official Singles Chart – a milestone in his career. After two sensational mixtapes, modeling campaigns with Louis Vuitton and Prada, and a chart-topping Billboard AAA single in the US, Bakar finally returns with the follow-up to his 2022 debut album, Nobody's Home. Through his music, Bakar portrays the universal story of love and the perpetually moving human experience. His upcoming album, Halo, is shaping up to be his most captivating work to date.
