Bakar is back, and this time, he’s chewing on something dark, hypnotic, and wildly infectious. His new single, “Dracula,” is a propulsive mix of indie rock, punk energy, and genre-bending swagger, a song that sounds equally suitable for a mosh pit or a late-night cruise around the city.
Anchored by an eerie, creeping bassline and Bakar’s inimitable cadence, “Dracula” is as haunting as its name would imply. “Dracula” drips with confidence, mystery, and breezy, cool, new gothic vibes with Bakar’s trademark rawness front and center. The production is slick but gritty, with hypnotic rhythms and razor-edged guitar licks that demand attention. Lyrically, Bakar pushes himself into the shadows, making music that washes over you as if they’re trapped in a fever dream moody, intoxicating, and dangerously addictive.
Bakar’s never shied away from unpredictability, and “Dracula” is no different. His talent for darting between sounds fastidious indie, rap, punk, and beyond has crowned him one of the most thrilling talents in music today. If “Big Dreams” gave us a peek into his limitless ambition, and Will You Be My Yellow? Displayed his right-brain disposition, “Dracula” proves he’s entering an even more adventurous, experimental chapter
With this new release, Bakar is shattering them entirely. “Dracula” is an anthem for misfits, night dwellers, and all those who dare to embrace the unknown. Bakar’s bite remains as sharp as ever if nothing else is true.
