Zelle new single Martir marks her fearless return to music after 13 years
After thirteen years in Sweden, Jeazell Grutas, known as Zelle, is back with new music and a redefined purpose. Her comeback single “Martir” dives into the chaos of love, pain, and self-discovery.
Zelle rose to fame through soulful tracks like “Sabihin,” “Akala Mo Lang,” and “Hindi Na Sana.” After years of silence, she now returns with deeper stories to tell. “Martir” explores toxic love and emotional boundaries. It reveals her struggle, her pain, and her healing.
“I fell into depression,” she admitted. “Then I realized the opposite of depression is expression.” Through this truth, she found herself again. “I’m expressing myself to heal,” she said.
Her artistry has evolved. The emotional ballads of the past have become psychological reflections. “My songs are healers now,” Zelle shared. “They’re meant for people searching for themselves through music.”
“Martir,” written years ago, became her bridge back to the stage. It captures the pain of codependency, insecurity, and the madness of love. “That insane laugh in the song represents losing yourself for love,” Zelle explained.
She believes heartbreak songs remain timeless because they help people release pain. “Not everyone can afford a therapist,” she said. “Songs like ‘Martir’ help us cry and let go.”
Zelle has embraced her independence. She now handles multiple roles: executive producer, music producer, and stylist. Supported by her bandmates—John Abiathar De Leon on drums, Archie Salvador on guitar, Chester Ventura on violin, and Jing Gonzales on bass—Zelle stays grounded in her passion.
“It’s all aligned this time,” she said. “We live for music. That’s our truth.”
To her fans, she sends an emotional message: “Guys, I’m back. Let’s bleed and heal together. Feel that pain until it hurts no more.”
“Martir” is now streaming on Spotify. Watch the lyric video here:
