Nineteen-year-old rising star Konstance returns with a powerful new single, “Mama,” featuring the legendary Seal, an emotionally resonant track created as the poignant centerpiece for the upcoming Idris Elba directed short film Dust To Dreams. The song, released via Elba’s record label 7Wallace, beautifully blends Konstance’s soulful vocals with Seal’s signature depth and cinematic orchestration, serving as a powerful meditation on legacy, family, and forgiveness within the film’s narrative. Co-writer Idris Elba himself praised the song, stating that it “was made with love and collaboration between film and music,” guaranteeing that this genre-defying piece will linger long after the film’s credits roll.
Hailing from Lagos, Nigeria, Konstance has already earned recognition from industry mavens like Don Jazzy and Tiwa Savage after a highly successful run on Nigerian Idol 2023, all while juggling her studies at Lagos State University. Her vocal journey, which began at a young age, has quickly propelled her into the limelight as a refreshing anomaly in an industry often saturated with formulaic pop acts. Now collaborating with multiple Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Seal—who is known for hit singles like “Crazy” and “Kiss from a Rose”—Konstance firmly establishes her potential for greatness, merging her distinct voice with a global music icon for a track that captures stunning emotional intensity.
