Bakar has surprised fans with a new two-part single release.
The rising London artist – and Clash x Next Wave favourite – dropped his debut mixtape 'BADKID' last year, fusing genres to create something emphatically individual.
Nodding towards everything from punk and indie through to UK rap, his riotous live shows have a vitality few could match.
New two-part single 'Chill' and 'Sold Your Soul' is online now, showing two contrary aspects of his creativity.
'Chill' leans on his deep-felt love of R&B, discussing his London background: “I’ve been feeling good now, still misunderstood now, tryna make my hood proud…”
With its lilting guitar line, though, 'Sold Your Soul' steers Bakar in a more contemplative direction, classic songwriting given a defiant twist.
Tune in now.
