EXCLUSIVE STREAM & DOWNLOAD: Raheem Bakaré - 'AWOL' EP

Today we present you the debut EP of rising vocalist Raheem Bakaré. Titled AWOL, the eight-track project offers a diverse palette of alternative R&B sounds filled with tales of romance and flirtatious lyricism, chronicling an episode of the artist’s life where he felt absent from the world; distracted by love, creativity and ultimately, music. Or to put it in Bakaré’s own words:

“It stems from R&B and neo-soul, but goes off into influences from electronic music, indie and, even, hip-hop through Kanye West’s ‘808s & Heartbreak’ vibe.”

Born in East, raised in South London, Raheem is a Londoner through and through. Mixing with the likes of Bluey Robinson at school, music has been a part of his life since an early age; allowing his confidence to continuously expand his musical repertoire, which finds its current highlight with the release of his debut EP that you can stream above and download here.
