Four years after being named Sexiest Female at the Kerrang! Awards, singer Amy Lee of Evanescence has been honored by fellow heavy-music magazine Revolver as its Hottest Chick in Hard Rock for 2011. She graces the cover of the current issue, available now at newsstands.
Evanescence singer Amy Lee told MTV News that the official video for the band’s new single, “What You Want,” is a mini-chronicle of the group’s history. The clip was shot in July at a Brooklyn, New York warehouse where a makeshift stage was constructed, so they could essentially relive their early days.
From the outside, it would appear as though the last few years have been relatively quiet for Evanescence. But a lot has happened in the life of leader and big-voiced singer Amy Lee during that time.
Starting around 2007, she pursued some personal growth — or as she puts it, made a conscious effort to “find myself as an adult.” And in the process, Lee also expanded her musical horizons by learning the harp, which she plays on Evanescence’s new self-titled third album, which arrives Oct. 11.
Amy Lee let MTV sit down with her in the studio while she was working on some new Evanescence stuff. Yes it is heavier than before but there's not enough here to really get a feel for it.
