EVANESCENCE's AMY LEE On Becoming First-Time Mother: 'It Changes You Completely'

September 19, 2014

MJ of CBS Radio KXTE X107.5 in Las Vegas, Nevada recently conducted an interview with EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee. You can now listen to the chat using the audio player below.

Lee gave birth to a son named Jack Lion, on July 24. According to People.com, Jack Lion entered the world weighing seven pounds and 13 ounces. The 32-year-old Lee told X107.5: "[Motherhood] changes you completely. I have never felt like this before. It's sort of like it shifted my perspective on the whole world. As soon as he came out, [I was] totally overwhelmed with love. It's a lot like the way it feels when you're falling head over heels in love with somebody."

Lee's new album, "Amy Lee Featuring Dave Eggar: Aftermath", sold around 6,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 47 on The Billboard 200 chart. The disc, which was released on August 25 via 110 Records, Inc., is a film-score collaboration with Dave Eggar for the movie "War Story", which premiered in January at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

Lee confirmed in an interview with Rolling Stone that she doesn't have any plans "to do anything with [EVANESCENCE]" for the foreseeable future. Asked about the group's current status, Lee explained, "The situation is we're not doing it now. I don't like to make predictions about the future, because I'm honestly open-minded, and I would never want to say I'm done with any of it, because it's a huge part of me. I've loved my time with EVANESCENCE, I wouldn't want to just throw it away, but, for the foreseeable future, I don't have any plans to do anything with the band."

Lee continued, "It's really important to me to take some time to show some different sides of myself . . . there does need to be other outlets for me to make music."

Lee said that she keeps in touch with the members of the band, but added that "the days of living on the road and an album cycle be this giant daunting thing of working in the studio for six months then going on the road for a year or two, they're behind me."

The last EVANESCENCE album, a self-titled effort, came out in 2011.
