Mustafa announces forthcoming debut album, Dunya
Mustafa has announced his debut album Dunya. In conjunction with the album's announcement he has shared new single "SNL".
Speaking on the inspiration behind his latest offering Mustafa shares: “‘SNL’ is about finding charm in the gloom of the hood- to love despite the circumstance, despite the worst of us.” The forthcoming debut album, Dunya, will feature Mustafa's 2023 single "Name of God" in addition to his 2024 singles "Imaan" and “Gaza is Calling”.
The forthcoming album's title roughly translates from Arabic to “the world in all its flaws.”
“SNL” and Dunya’s announcement arrive on the heels of the second edition of Mustafa’s Artists for Aid benefit concerts, the most recent of which took place on July 4th in London featuring performances by Bint Mbareh, Blood Orange, Clairo, Daniel Caesar, Earl Sweatshirt, King Krule, Nicolas Jaar, Ramy Youssef and Yasiin Bey, in addition to Mustafa himself and special guest performer FKA twigs. The event, which was presented in partnership with the aid organisation War Child, raised funds to benefit Gaza and Sudan.
