Mustafa Shares New Single with Music Video for “Old Life”
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.
