Early life

Bakar grew up in Camden in North London and attended a state school before being sent to a boarding school in Surrey by his mother. [5] He is of Yemeni and Tanzanian descent. He expressed that "going outside of London and hearing other tastes and how that can relate to [him], it definitely did something to [him]." [6]

Career

2015–2017: Online beginnings and solo debut

Bakar began creating music in 2015 by cutting up samples of Bombay Bicycle Club and King Krule songs and uploading them to an anonymous SoundCloud account. [7] For the next few years, he continuously uploaded projects and works to the platform, several of which are no longer available. [8]

Bakar officially independently released his debut single, "Big Dreams" in March 2017. [9] In 2018, the song later gained popularity after being featured on the official soundtrack of the video game FIFA 19 . [10] Bakar performed the song "Scott Free" on the online German music series ColorsxStudios in March 2017, [11] where it has amassed over 300 thousand views as of July 2020. [12] Before the end of 2017, Bakar had self-released the non-album singles "Small Town Girl" and "Something I Said".

2018: Badkid

In early 2018, Bakar released the single "Million Miles" and announced his debut full length project, Badkid. [4] [13] In April 2018, he released the project's third single, "All In", following the lead single "Big Dreams" (2017) and "Million Miles" (2018). [14] Bakar performed at Live at Leeds in May 2018, where he was described by NME as an "electrifying performer" who "cemented himself as one of Britain's most exciting new acts". [15] He released "Badlands" as the final single off of Badkid a week later. [11] Bakar's performance set at The Great Escape in May 2018 was also well received by critics. [16] Badkid was released as a mixtape [17] [18] under Bakar's own record label,*bash, on 22 May 2018. [11] [19] He marked the release of the mixtape with a headlining performance at Camden Assembly in London.

[20] After completing the sold out [21] tour, Bakar released the non-album single "Dracula" in October 2018. [22]

2019–2020: Will You Be My Yellow?

Bakar signed to both Black Butter Records and September Management in early 2019. [23] In January 2019, American rapper Sheck Wes mentioned a future collaboration with Bakar. [24] In March 2019, Bakar released the non-album single set "Chill" and "Sold Your Soul" alongside the announcement of another headlining European tour, Bakar & The Badkids. [25] [26] In August 2019, Bakar announced the release of the EP, Will You Be My Yellow?, and released its lead single "Hell n Back". [27] [28] The single became a sleeper hit in the United States, experiencing the longest trip to No. 1 on the Triple A chart in Billboard chart history, eventually peaking on 30 June 2020 (its 27th week). [29] "Hell n Back" was also certified Gold in Australia in 2020, [30] where the song also placed No. 62 on triple j's Hottest 100 of 2019. [31] The six-track EP Will You Be My Yellow? was released to critical acclaim under Black Butter Records on 20 September 2019. [32] [33] [34] [35] The project was written and recorded within just eight weeks, and was produced by frequent collaborators Zach Nahome and Matty Tavares. [36] It featured the track "Stop Selling Her Drugs" featuring American musician Dominic Fike. [37]

In November 2019, Bakar performed "Hell n Back" for his second performance on the German music series ColorsxStudios, [38] following his first performance "Scott Free" in March 2017. [12] The former was released commercially as a non-album single and has amassed over one million views on YouTube as of July 2020. In November 2019, British singer Collard released the single "Stone" featuring Bakar. [39] In December 2019, the song "Hell n Back" was used in the promotional ad for Arsenal F.C. x Adidas's Bruised Banana range, highlighting the lyric "Will you be my yellow?" which Bakar sings in the video. [40] [41]

Artistry and other ventures

Musical influences cited by Bakar include Madlib and Foals. [19] [11] He has described his music as "schizophrenic", and said that he attempts to "bridge the gap" between different music genres. [19] Ones to Watch described his style as a "melting pot of indie, rap, rock, and punk". [50]

Bakar also modelled as part of Virgil Abloh's debut runway show for Louis Vuitton twice: once in June 2018 and again in February 2019. [6] In November 2019, he modelled for Prada's "A Gift to Give" campaign alongside models Pixie Geldof and Sara Blomqvist. [51]

Reception

Joe Goggins of DIY compared Bakar's vocal style to that of Kele Okereke from Bloc Party. [7] Alex McFadyen of Clash also compared his sound to that of Bloc Party. [5] Ashleigh Kane of Crack Magazine deemed him as "indie's revivalist". [36] Bakar's style has been noted as a progressive shift from the 'stale' sound of British rock in the late 2010s.

The album was a commercial success, peaking at number 16 on the US Billboard 200 and spawning the singles "Undone – The Sweater Song" and "Buddy Holly", both of which were responsible for launching Weezer into mainstream success with the aid of music videos directed by Spike Jonze. It has sold 3.3 million copies in the United States and has been certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), becoming the band's best selling album to date. Following the success of their debut album, Weezer took a break from touring for the Christmas holidays. Lead singer Rivers Cuomo began piecing together demo material for Weezer's second studio album. Cuomo's original concept for the album was a space-themed rock opera, Songs from the Black Hole.

Pinkerton was released as the band's second studio album in September 1996. Peaking at number 19 on the Billboard 200, it was considered a critical and commercial failure at the time of its release, selling far less than its triple platinum predecessor.
