Raheem Bakare Blooming - Track of the Week - New R&B / New Soul Music

Having served us with a couple of new releases in 2021, multi-talented South Londoner Raheem Bakaré returns with ‘Blooming’. For a few years, Raheem has been one of British R&B’s finest with his angelic, effortless and un-blemished sound. 

Blooming is about the thrill of being in love. As the heartfelt, sultry cut reveals Raheem’s sweet vocal range, declaring, “She blooming like a flower, Convo got me so empowered“. The noughties R&B inspired production is embellished with effortless harmonies coupled with melodic lyricism, an infectious hook, and a bassline that will make you vibe throughout. 

No label, No funding, No commissions just hard work and having a clear vision.

Yet again showing off his creative chops, Raheem Bakaré self-directed the music video for Blooming. The self-directed music video opens with suitably cinematic visuals of Soho that see Raheem roll up to the notable Jon Snow as he anticipates visiting his love interest.

In an Instagram caption, premiering the sweet love ballad to his audience, Raheem explains; “I can’t lie this song is like my baby and I’m so gassed to finally share it with you guys! Thanks to an amazing team that made this shoot an enjoyable and smooth experience. They trusted the vision and allowed me to reach the goal. No label, No funding, No commissions just hard work and having a clear vision“.

Blooming bears undeniably infectious energy as Raheem Bakaré shows us exactly why he is one of South London’s brightest prospects.
