This week’s addition to the 88Nine rotation is the latest from U.K. artist Abubakar Baker Shariff-Farr. Better known as Bakar, his single “Alive!” shucks negativity for the true kernel of life lived to its fullest. Sonically, he inhabits the mood like a man on vacation in the hazy mirrors of his mind. It’s one part mirror and the other a waking dream — like hanging out with the version of self you want … and then becoming it.
