(August 27, 2024) - Ahead of the release of his debut album Dunya on September 27th, Mustafa shares the final album single "Old Life" alongside a Tanima Mehrotra-directed music video. Speaking about the Simon Hessman (James Blake, Jamie xx, Sampha) and Dahi (Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, Drake)-produced song, Mustafa shares that "'Old Life' is about reminiscence, and separation, and romance being a life sentence even in tragedy."


The first thing that strikes you about Mustafa’s music has always been his writing: a simple, piercing tone that can make any story feel as raw and earnest as the words to a love song. On this latest project, Mustafa expands the boundaries of his expert autobiographical storytelling. With a hushed delivery that can silence his surroundings, Mustafa evolved swiftly from a child prodigy reciting poems throughout his native Toronto to a behind-the-scenes songwriting force for artists like the Weeknd, Camila Cabello, and Justin Bieber. 


On Dunya, he is a full-on auteur in his own right, and he is once again in incomparable company. The collaborators on his debut full-length include Aaron Dessner, Rosalía, Clairo, Nicolas Jaar, and more, alongside Mustafa’s longtime creative partner Simon Hessmann and his friend and confidant, Ramy Yousef, who served as a creative director for some of its most striking visuals.
