Bakar’s voice is easily identifiable. It’s smooth and has a natural groove. There’s a reason “Hell N Back” is his greatest song: It’s the perfect blend of exhaustion and optimism. Bakar’s latest single, “A Girl Like You,” may not have the tinnitus of its predecessor. But it proves that Bacall has a real talent for creating funky British soul. Although “A Girl Like You” is less than two minutes long, the groove is so full and the hook is so catchy that it feels like a complete song. It all starts with synthesizers. It’s the first line we hear, and it gives the movie a retro ’80s feel without being overbearing.
Bakar’s lyrics are full of Prince-esque playfulness. The British singer doesn’t take herself too seriously on records. That said, he doesn’t deliver silly, memorable lines like: “You made me admit the devil in me. I hope to God I’m speaking metaphorically.” As the song title suggests, it’s all Melted into something light and sexy. The real secret weapon of Bakar’s single, however, is the bass. It absolutely steals the show, especially in the chorus, where the energetic funk lead takes center stage. Bakar has been releasing singles in 2024, such as “React” and the “Everytime” remix. However, A Girl Like You is easily the best of them all.

Bacall drops best single since ‘Hell N Back’
I’ve never known a girl like you before
Now it’s like a song from yesteryear
You knock on the door, knock on my door
Well I’ve never seen a girl like you before
