He’s back with another catchy offering.
The post Bakar Turns Up The Funk With Smooth New Single “A Girl Like You” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.
Bakar’s voice is one of those things that just sticks with you. Seriously, it’s got this smooth, effortless groove that draws you in like moths to a flame—or maybe more like a catchy pop song that you can’t help but replay on loop. You know “Hell N Back”? Yeah, it’s his anthem for a reason; it expertly blends that worn-down, yet utterly upbeat vibe. Now, Bakar’s latest drop, “A Girl Like You,” doesn’t quite have that earworm whistle that made its predecessor so memorable… but boy does it showcase his knack for crafting UK soul with a funky twist! Clocking in at under two minutes, you’d think it might feel rushed, but trust me, the groove is so tight and the hook so infectious that it feels like a complete journey. It kicks off with synths that set a retro, 1980s tone—without ever veering into cheesy territory.
Now let’s chat about those lyrics. Bakar delivers them with this playful flair reminiscent of Prince. He doesn’t walk into the studio trying to save the world; he’s all about enjoying the moment. While he hasn’t quite penned anything as outrageously memorable as, “You made me acknowledge the devil in me. I hope to God I’m talking metaphorically,” what he does offer is a lightweight, flirtatious charm that perfectly fits the title. But, you know what really steals the spotlight? The bass! Oh man, it just bounces through the chorus and takes center stage; it’s like the secret ingredient in a recipe you thought you had mastered! Throughout 2024, Bakar’s been blessing us with singles like “React” and the “Everytime” remix, but “A Girl Like You” is definitely the cherry on top.
So, what do you think about this fresh track? I’m genuinely curious! Drop your thoughts in the comments below. And hey, don’t forget to stay glued to HNHH for the latest and greatest in music news. We’re on the job to keep you updated on your favorite artists and what they’ve got cooking next!
Quotable Lyrics:
I’ve never known a girl like you before
Now just like a song from the days of yore
Here you come knockin’, knockin’ at my door
Well, I’ve never met a girl like you before

Bakar has an instantly recognizable voice. It’s smooth, it’s got a natural groove to it. “Hell N Back” is his biggest song for a reason: it’s the perfect combination of worn down and upbeat. Bakar’s latest single, “A Girl Like You,” may not have the earworm whistle of its predecessor. But it’s proof that Bakar has a genuine talent for creating funky UK soul. “A Girl Like You” is less than two minutes in length, but the groove is so fully realized, and the hook is so catchy that the song feels like a complete though. It all starts with the synth. It’s the first thing we hear, and gives the film a retro, 1980s feel without being overbearing.
Bakar’s lyrics are playful in a sort of Prince fashion. The UK singer doesn’t take himself too seriously on record. That said, he doesn’t offer deliver a line as goofily memorable as: “You made me acknowledge the devil in me. I hope to God I’m talkin’ metaphorically.” It all coalesces into something as lightweight and flirty as the song’s title suggests. The real secret weapon of Bakar’s single, though, is the bass. It absolutely steals the show, especially near the chorus, with its bouncy funk leads taking center stage. Bakar has been dropping singles throughout 2024, like “React” and the “Everytime” remix. “A Girl Like You” is far and away the best of the bunch, though.
