    In April 2011, she debuted her latest project. She kept herself occupied at home, taking care of her house and reading. In April 2011, she held a concert at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, as well as a record breaking performance at the same venue on 27 October 2012, as a part of her worldwide Ejaz Tour.[40] Also on 26 March 2013 she performed at London's Royal Albert Hall for the first time.[41]

    In 2012, Googoosh released her 6th studio album since her comeback, titled Ejaz.


    Googoosh was a voice and symbol for many and at that time this much power for an individual (specially a woman) was forbidden. Her concert in Dubai was considered a homecoming for her, and out of the more than 20,000 members of the audience, seventy percent of them were Iranians who had crossed the Persian Gulf to hear her.[32][33] The two Dubai concerts held special importance: it was the tour finale, and Googoosh was rumored to be planning to return to Iran.
