The Controversies Surrounding a 'Private Photo'

Googoosh began the year 1394 (2015) in complete tranquility in Spain without any stage presence. Although last year was not without its controversies for Googoosh, she returned to the pop music scene this year with a new album, which featured contributions from old pop music artists and former collaborators. In an interview, she discussed her absence from the stage this year, citing the need to prepare her new album and reduce her on-stage workload. The album, titled 'Private Photo,' consists of eleven songs, the most she has ever included in an album, and reflects her desire to share her music without overwhelming the audience. Googoosh expressed that her absence from concerts is not related to the current crisis affecting pop music outside of Iran, but rather a personal choice to focus on her work behind the scenes. She highlighted the challenges of maintaining artistic consistency in her work due to the dispersion of artists and resources after the revolution. Googoosh also reflected on her collaborations with various artists, including a new rendition of the famous song 'Morgh-e Sahar' and her experiences in the music industry, emphasizing the importance of audience reception and the evolving nature of music production.
