Her debut album is coming this year.

Forwarding-thinking pop artist Sevdaliza has released ‘Bebin’, a new track written in response to Donald Trump’s recent ban on citizens from seven different Muslim-majority country entering the United States. Among those countries is Iran, where she was born.

The Iranian-Dutch singer also shared a statement about the Muslim ban:

“In protest of the inhumane political climate, I could not rest my head in privilege. I wrote ‘Bebin’ in Farsi, to solidify. I stand strong with love. In this case I choose to avoid mainstream media, because I have no interest in part taking in a victimized concept. As I will not be able to travel to the United States for indefinite duration, take this message without lights, camera, action. I am solely a messenger. In the act of love, there is no place for racism nor bigotry.”

Proceeds from the sale of ‘Bebin’ “will be immediately transferred towards funds supporting victims of racial exclusion.” Hear the track below.
