Konstance and Seal come together in a remarkable meeting of artistry for the new single ‘Mama’, created for Idris Elba’s upcoming short film Dust To Dreams. Released through Elba’s visionary label 7Wallace, the track feels like an emotional centrepiece, one that binds the film’s themes of legacy, family, and forgiveness into a single, soul-stirring musical experience.
From its first notes, ‘Mama’ carries a tenderness that is impossible to ignore. Konstance’s voice is luminous, smooth, youthful, and deeply expressive, drawing listeners into the intimate world of the film. “Her voice feels like memory—soft, familiar, and deeply felt.” Every lyric she delivers speaks both personally and universally, as though she is singing from a place handed down through generations.
Seal’s entrance adds a profound layer of depth, his unmistakable tone carrying the weight of reflection and lived experience. “Seal doesn’t just sing—he inhabits a song,” and here, his performance enriches the emotional landscape of ‘Mama’ with a quiet, knowing gravity. Together, the two voices form a dialogue between youth and wisdom, past and present, crafting a beautifully timeless duet.
In Dust To Dreams, music does far more than accompany the visuals; it shapes the emotional contours of the story. ‘Mama’ becomes a guiding thread, leading viewers through moments of heartbreak, resilience, and reconciliation. “It is a song that doesn’t follow the film—it uplifts it.” With soul-soaked orchestral layers and cinematic warmth, the track feels as though it was born directly from the film’s heartbeat.
Konstance’s rise adds another luminous dimension to the project. At just 19, studying at Lagos State University while crafting her blossoming career, she has already proven herself a once-in-a-generation talent. Her journey from Nigerian Idol 2023 to international collaboration is extraordinary. Gifted with a voice that feels both youthful and timeless, she has earned admiration from icons across the Nigerian music industry. “Konstance sings with a sincerity that feels older than her years.”
Seal, meanwhile, brings the mastery of a storied career spanning decades. Known for hits like ‘Crazy’ and the enduring ‘Kiss from a Rose’, he continues to possess an unparalleled ability to pour emotional truth into every note. His performance on ‘Mama’ is a reminder of why his voice remains one of the most beloved in modern music.
Surrounding this creative moment is a wider circle of artistic energy that includes The Cavemen, the Lagos-based duo redefining Highlife for a new generation. Their presence reflects the cultural spirit of Dust To Dreams, where heritage and modernity meet in a vibrant musical dialogue.
All of this unfolds under the creative umbrella of 7Wallace, Idris Elba’s multifaceted label, long known for its bold approach to music and film. With a roster spanning Nas, Little Simz, Q-Tip, Kojey Radical, and more, the label continues to champion authentic, emotionally charged storytelling. “7Wallace creates music you don’t just hear—you feel it.”
In the end, this collaboration between Konstance, Seal, and Idris Elba feels like a rare artistic alignment, one where music and film intertwine so seamlessly that they become inseparable. ‘Mama’ is not simply a soundtrack; it is a companion to Dust To Dreams, holding the film’s emotional truth in every note. “It is a song that stays with you—long after the final frame, long after the silence returns.”
