Product Description: Dunya, the title of Mustafa's masterfully crafted andbreathtakingly tender full-length debut, roughly translates fromArabic to "the world in all it's flaws." It's a lofty subject for a youngsongwriter, but as with every theme at the heart of theSudanese-Canadian artist's work-from religious devotion tochildhood trauma, gang violence to romantic intimacy-heapproaches it through a personal lens. Blending genres andmoods, weaving novelistic details into instantly memorable folksongs, he has crafted a record that feels like a series of personalbreakthroughs, arriving one after the other.The first thing that strikes you about Mustafa's music has alwaysbeen his writing: a simple, piercing tone that can make anystory feel as raw and earnest as the words to a love song. With ahushed delivery that can silence his surroundings, Mustafaevolved swiftly from a child prodigy reciting poems throughouthis native Toronto to a behind-the-songs pop songwriting force.On Dunya, he becomes a full-on auteur in his own right."I'm trying to preserve and celebrate the ordinary life in thehood," Mustafa notes of his lyrical inspiration. Exploring hisupbringing and trajectory onward, these songs are equallydisarming in their simplicity and multilayered in their emotionalbreadth. Featuring appearances from collaborators such asAaron Dessner, Rosalía, Clairo, Nicolas Jaar, and more, alongsideMustafa's longtime creative partner Simon Hessmann, themusic reveals a confident, distinctive voice that's never soundedmore poised for the masses. Even when it sounds like he'staking on the world, Mustafa is speaking only for himself: a storythat he knows is just getting started
