EVANESCENCE Frontwoman Interviewed On 93.7 KCLB ROCKS! (Audio)

March 22, 2012

On March 21, Kevin Conklin of the 93.7 KCLB Rocks! radio station (web site) conducted an interview with EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee. You can now listen to the chat using the SoundCloud player below.

EVANESCENCE released its self-titled third major label album last October, five years after the group issued its last effort, 2006's "The Open Door". But one of the reasons the new record took so long to come out is that Lee began work on a version of it in 2010 that she ended up scrapping. The Pulse Of Radio asked Lee why that first attempt at recording didn't work out. "I think it really was a case of us going in the studio too soon," she said. "I think people a lot of times get pressure for moving fast, especially in this day and age — you know, the public has a short attention span, you know, it's all about striking while the iron's hot. I don't believe that. I believe in great music. If this is gonna be our big EVANESCENCE comeback record, it wasn't there yet. So we kept working. We ended up making a record that I'm just, it's my favorite so far. We're all really proud of it."

"Evanescence" sold 127,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart.

Lee, who got married in 2007, says she and her husband are ready to deal with the reality of her being away on tour for months. She told Noisecreep, "It's always going to be hard on a relationship, being in a band, but my husband and I have really had a chance to build our life together and so now we're ready for everything that happens when I'm on the road."
