MY DEBUT ALBUM- DUNYA, will be out on the 27th of September. go pre-save & pre-order the physical: mustafa.lnk.to/dunya
I gave it all of me, it’s taken so much from me. I considered burying it with everything else I lost but what’s the use of all this digging? We’ll take it to the sun, make use. For the love of God, for the love of the hood, for the love of graveyards with enough friends to host a ceremony, a pickup game. There are no words for how this album has held me, there are less words for how the world let me go as I wrote it. Dunya in all its illusion.
Some of these songs are skies, some of these songs are ground and no escape.
Thank you all for your patience, and thank you to every person that lifted just a finger to see this come forward, I owe you all my years.
Gaza is Calling is out everywhere. Proceeds go to the children of Palestine. It haunts me that this song/film was written and recorded so long ago, it is also evidence of how this nightmare & occupation has always been, how before a lens there was still an angel accounting for the death of a child, the death of a freedom, death of an innocence.
Before us and after us is a God who remembers, how honourable is the one who holds the memory of the dying? How can any of our hearts be still? We are mirrors at our best.
Young Israa, thank you for your willingness, your performance here is the thread. May your suicidal ideation collapse along with this hell that keeps you from flying.
To Ali, wherever you are, I love you, and I hate that we escaped wars in our homelands only to be met with a dark one in that small Toronto hood, a war we waged against each other. Gaza calls you still.
Abdul, little brother, you are Gaza, you remind us.
Bella, thank you for answering my call.
& to everyone that touched this, it is because of you.
Imaan, you inspired the writing of this song. A love song this wide could only come through you. Thank you for bringing this visual to light with your own fabrics, struggle, hope, and failure with faith. Every contradiction, sin & repentance leads us to our truth, to forgiveness InshaAllah. It is a brave thing, it is a lifelong thing.
@snohaalegra thank you for lifting this song with your gorgeous Iranian flare, Aaron Dessner, Simon Hessman, Rodaidh McDonald, & Dylan, producers of my dreams. Nabil, thank you for planting a flag in the ground. Sharky - thank you for your generosity, for bringing Mursal- Sharks; the prince you are doing tedious work for your brother. Danny and Ramy, my forever. GQ, 24hr days, I’d do it again! Zubi, thank you for bringing your Muslim community to us ❤️, and Cousin Mo I love you for Allahs sake. The highest for last; our sisters; Mona, Amaal, Raho, Nimco Ali, & our sweet mother- Azizah Ali.
Debut album on the way!
