'I feel too much to keep it in this time.' Evanescence’s Amy Lee tells us about the group's new song 'Use My Voice' and the accompanying campaign to bring out the vote
sings over subtle instrumentation. “Go and take everything and throw it away/But I will use my voice.” The song erupts into a chorus featuring several female vocalists, including Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale, Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless, Sharon den Adel of Within Temptation, and violinist Lindsey Stirling. Lee’s sisters Carrie South and Lori Lee Bulloch, guitarist Troy McLawho’s wife Amy McLawhorn, and the song’s co-writer Deena Jakoub of Veridia also lend a hand on the track.
The title doubles as a campaign Lee launched last week in partnership with HeadCount, a non-partisan, non-profit voter registration organization. “This year is going to be more complicated than normal because of Covid,” Lee tells. “Every state has different rules for registering and voting, and things will be different because of the pandemic. It doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
“It’s always been a personal rule for me not to talk politics, because I want our music to be a place where we come together, where we put our differences aside and connect as one big unified spirit through music,” Lee tells. “But the state of our nation right now weighs very heavily on my heart, like never before. I feel too much to keep it in this time and a responsibility to do something with my platform to try and help — to empower the people. To shine a light.
“The concept of playing a private show for fans who check their voter registration status is strong,” adds HeadCount’s executive director Andy Bernstein. “We think we’ll see several artists do this as the election gets closer. With a dedicated fanbase like Evanescence has, and an artist as personally engaged as Amy Lee, it’s a can’t-miss idea.”
