Album of the Week: Mustafa - 'Dunya'

Album of the Week: Mufasta - 'Dunya'

Mustafa has just released his masterfully crafted and breathtakingly tender full-length debut album Dunya. It’s pretty special and we are pretty thrilled it's out in the world. 

“This record encapsulates so much of my life,” he explains of the expansive 12-song album. Blending genres and moods, weaving novelistic details into instantly memorable folk songs, he has crafted a record that feels like a series of personal breakthroughs, arriving one after the other.

“I’m trying to preserve and celebrate the ordinary life in the hood,” Mustafa notes of his inspiration. Exploring his upbringing and trajectory onward, these songs are equally disarming in their simplicity and multilayered in their emotional breadth. 

Available wherever good music is sold.
