NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, June 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Iranian-American pop artist Darvishi has released her latest single, “Jelo,” an empowering bilingual anthem about pushing forward and reclaiming one’s power after being filled with self-doubt. The track blends dance-pop with Persian-inspired influences with both English and Farsi lyrics. “Jelo” or “جلو” means “forward” in Farsi and was written by Darvishi alongside Addis (Known for his work with Kylee Russell, Gavvin, and DaniLeigh) and Korey Keys (known for his work with artists such as Sabrina Carpenter and Sam Kim).
“I wrote ‘Jelo’ during a time when I was really questioning whether I wanted to keep pursuing music. I was dealing with a lot of self-doubt and felt stuck creatively, so I turned to the one thing I always do when I’m overwhelmed: songwriting. Instead of writing a sad song, I decided to write the kind of anthem I needed to hear myself. I wanted to write something fun, empowering, and impossible not to dance to. As I was writing, I realized the only way to overcome my self-doubt was to surround myself with things that brought me joy and to keep moving forward.” – Darvishi
In celebration of the release of the track, Darvishi teamed up with Koja Cafe to create a special drink inspired by the song. Listeners can visit the cafe today (June 26th) from 7-10 PM at Saffron & Rose in Westwood, CA, to meet Darvishi and try out the special menu. Then, on July 1st, Darvishi will also be releasing a music video for “Jelo,” which was directed by Lina Kraftsoff and choreographed by Rachel Melendres.
