Rising Nigerian star Konstance returns with a deeply emotional new single, Mama — a stirring collaboration with global soul icon Seal. Created for the upcoming Idris Elba–directed short film
Dust To Dreams, the track is already positioning itself as one of the most anticipated soundtracks of the year.
Blending Konstance’s soulful, youthful clarity with Seal’s unmistakable depth and a cinematic orchestral backdrop, Mama sits at the heart of the film’s narrative, exploring themes of legacy, family, and forgiveness. The result is a haunting, resonant piece that lingers long after the last note fades.
Speaking on the creative process, co-writer and director Idris Elba shared:
“This tune was made with love and collaboration between film and music.”
Released via 7Wallace, Idris Elba’s forward-thinking London-based record label, the track embodies the imprint’s mission to champion bold, boundary-pushing artists. Since launch, 7Wallace has carved out a reputation for showcasing eclectic global voices across hip-hop, soul, electronic, and alternative music.
