Amy Lee commented that she lives and enjoys a moment of fulfillment as a mother and a singer, for her the most important thing is her son Jack above all things and she is grateful for the shelter of Evanescence, where she has formed a great family.

The American had her firstborn in 2014 and it changed her life completely. Now that she is a mother, she explained that she looks for a way not to get away from her son, while continuing to lead Evanescence, one of the most successful rock bands of 2000.

“It's great, I love being a mother, he is five years old, he just started school, so that has changed things a bit and we have to learn to work with that, that is one reason for me to be at home longer than before, so every moment I'm thinking and working on it, but I think we can make this work, "Amy Lee told EL UNIVERSAL.

Two families

The support of her band consisting of bassist Tim McCord, drummer Will Hunt, guitarist Troy McLawhorn and guitarist Jen Majura has been unconditional for her, of which she is proud and grateful.

“Evanescence is a healthy group, it's okay, there is a family, we really are and I am so proud and grateful to have good people around me, who take care of this music, this band, we love to play together on stage, create together, we have a lot of respect for each other, the days are good with Evanescence ”, he expressed.

The composer announced that the band is working on a new album, which they have already announced that they hope to release in 2021, while promoting their EP Songs from the bitter truth, from which the singles "Yeah right", "Use my voice", " The game is over ”and“ Wasted on you ”.

"We have very cool songs and we're excited, I think we'll do it differently this time, you'll hear something new."

Amy commented that last year they had already released a new single, “The chain”, which is a cover of the 1960s rock band Fleetwood Mac, and is part of the soundtrack of the Gears of war video game franchise.

“It's a classic metal song but we did it differently, we had fun, we did it for a video game trailer. There was the idea of ​​the cover and the whole project ”, he explained.

Singing in Spanish is not an alien idea for Amy, as she said during the interview where she expressed that the dedication and connection of the Spanish-speaking public has made her consider recording a special song.

“I have thought about singing in Spanish, but only I 'speak a little' (he said in this language), that's one reason, but whenever we go to all the Spanish-speaking countries we have a great connection for some reason and I've had conversations with the band that maybe we should do a special song, a version or two or maybe just the Spanish version, I don't know yet but we have discussed it, "he explained.

Finally he commented that he loves Mexico and whenever he has been in the country he has had a good time.

“To be honest we have had incredible nights in Mexico, quite explosive, one of my favorite stories is when the whole staff, the whole band, we go to a restaurant, a bar and we just do crazy things, the people here are loving, I remember that we've had epic parties to be honest (laughs) ”.
