Bakar Announces Highly Anticipated Second Album “Halo”

Following the release of his latest single, “Alive!”, British artist Bakar announces his highly-anticipated second album Halo.

Halo rings in a new era for Bakar and “Alive!” gives listeners a taste of what’s to come from the enigmatic mind of the young Londoner. The Camden-born-and-bred artist will appear on festival stages in the US and Europe this summer, including an appearance at Lollapalooza in Chicago and a main stage slot at Reading & Leeds in August.

Resisting categorization 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 Zach Nahome in what has become a fruitful partnership; his US AAA #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.

Following two show-stopping mixtapes, cosigns from several members of music royalty, modeling campaigns with Louis Vuitton and Prada, and a single that topped the AAA Billboard chart in the US, he’s now preparing to send shockwaves around the world with the follow-up to his 2022 debut album Nobody’s Home. Bakar narrates the universal story of love, and the ever-changing human experience through his music, with upcoming second album Halo being his most captivating work yet.
