Halo (Limited Edition Orange Vinyl LP)

British singer-songwriter Bakar is back with his highly anticipated second album Halo, the follow-up to his 2022 debut Nobody’s Home.

On Halo the young Londoner can be compared to a modern-day Jack Kerouac, exploring the dichotomy Bakar feels between the nomadic loneliness of a life constantly on the road and the “lifestyle” of being a musician. 

Resisting categorisation during his steady growth into the spotlight, Bakar offers all the lyrical prowess of a rapper, the virtuosic poise of a producer, and the pop craft of a singer-songwriter. Born in Camden, North London and raised on Choice FM, RnB CDs, and the Quran, Bakar’s early musical influences spanned from London’s burgeoning grime scene to the Red Hot Chili Peppers and English indie acts like The Maccabees. Bakar propelled into the limelight with his 2018 mixtape BADKID, produced with frequent collaborator Zack Nahome in what has become a fruitful partnership; his US #1 single Hell N Back swiftly followed in 2019 - a track currently experiencing a resurgence in popularity, having peaked in the Top 20 of the UK Official Singles Chart - a career highlight for the young Brit.
