BMGAre you ready for a “big, powerful and luscious” Evanescence album? According to Amy Lee, that’s what you’re going to get.
Speaking to Music Week about the upcoming Evanescence record The Bitter Truth, Lee shares that the band is heading in a “raw” direction with the new material.
“The last thing we put out was our orchestral and electronically-driven re-imagining of old songs on [2017’s] Synthesis,” Lee explains. “That was incredible, as was the experience of performing with a live orchestra, but it took a lot of work on an internal level. By the end of it, we were all really ready to get back to rocking.”
“I don’t want to say our new album is stripped back, because it’s not,” she adds. “It’s big, powerful and luscious.”
Evanescence released the first The Bitter Truth single, “Wasted on You,” in April, and will unveil the rest of the record incrementally throughout 2020. According to Lee, the band currently has a “handful of songs that are already mixed and finished and ready to go.”
“We’re still writing our new music and the pressure’s definitely on, now we’ve released “Wasted on You,'” Lee says.
She laughs, “We lit the fuse and now we’re screwed.”
