Name of God prod. Mustafa, Aaron Dessner & Simon on the Moon

Imaan (feat. Snoh Allegra) prod. Mustafa

Seems like his brothers passing will be a theme here, and I’m sure the obvious theme of the atrocities happening will be a theme as well

God bless this man for suffering so much tragedy and holding it together

I made this thread bc I remembered how beautiful when smoke rises was

Seeing that Ramy Youssef did the creative direction on the new video?

he's signed to Jagjaguwar now good for him

“It’s about longing for all that we don’t have evidence of. Two Muslims journeying through their love of borderless Western ideology and how it contradicts with the modesty & devotion in which they were raised. ‘Imaan’ sonically represents this tussle too - the Sudanese strings and Egyptian oud woven into the bed American folk chords and drums. This tapestry, this collision is the song, is the romance, is the person Mustafa is. How it’s never enough, or too much. The song sits in the grey that people of faith are afraid to live in, but identify with. It’s about the way faith swings beneath Mustafa and Imaan like a rope. How cultural tension and bias and racism can inform and dismember romance."

In Canada it seems to be Arts & Crafts.. which is also really cool
