Amy's done an interview with a Turkish newspaper. Unfortunately the original text is in Turkish so here's the interview translated by google:
Amy Lee: Evanescence's founding leader: Nobody's perfect and that's what makes the world beautiful!
Amy Lee: Evanescence's founding leader: Nobody's perfect and that's what makes the world beautiful!
In the early 2000s, we met with Amy Lee, the leader of Evanescence, who was raging with his songs 'Bring Me To Life', on the evening of September 13 at the Istanbul Volkswagen Arena. After six years, we talked about the 'Synthesis' album, the old ones, the Evanescence of the 2020s.
According to what we have heard, you have a plan to release a new album next year ... Can you give us some tips about new songs?
- This year we are touring while trying to write and record songs. I love this mood. On the one hand you have creative feelings, on the other hand you are performing on stage. These two are actually very different emotions. On the other hand, we are in a flow, and I think it's a little early to describe the music or sound we've done over the last 3-4 months. We're doing everything we've dreamed of doing for this year, and I'm very happy.
What are your expectations and hopes for the future of Evanescence ?
- Not to be stuck in the comfort area, to develop and change continuously; I wish to push the limits of what we can do. To pursue new inspirations, to maintain our open-mindedness; I hope that both the world will surprise us and that we can surprise each other.
Do you think that digital music listening services change people's relationship with music?
- I like new formats. This changes my habits of consuming music as everyone else does. Feeling free about the album issue; It is good to publish songs at any time without prejudice to prejudiced ideas such as 'how an album should be.' On the other hand, as you said, we were an album group and our fans from the past will expect us to create an 'album value' as a result of whatever we do.
We shouldn't be stuck with everyday nonsense
I know you're a big fan of Pantera and Nine Inch Nails. Who are you listening to these days?
- I'm interested in many different genres. But I can say I'm a little more involved with 'Dark Pop' these days. In particular, I am focused on female soloists with different and experimental minds. Especially Billie Ellish; Kiiara, Lana Del Rey, Florence and the Machine and Missy Elliott of the new era ...
We tragically lost Soundgarden's Chris Cornell and Linkin Park's Chester Bennington, and you wrote a song called 'Imperfection'. What would you like to say?
- After a few months, I lost my brother to a more special song for me 'Imperfection'. Life passes through our own struggles, the obstacles that come before us, the darkness and resentments that we have fallen into ... Sometimes we may not be able to overcome them. We shouldn't get stuck with everyday nonsense that has no meaning. Let's spend quality time with the people we love. None of us are perfect and that's what makes the world beautiful.
How does it feel to come to Istanbul again? If you have anything to say to those who are looking forward to you ...
- Istanbul and Turkey 's we love. I am sincere to say that Istanbul is one of the stops that excited us most among the stops in this tour. We will come and play and sing for you with this energy! |
