I'm so lucky to have been able to go on tour with one of my idols, and now she's my next guest on #StringSessions! @amy Lee and I perform @evanescence's new song 'Wasted On You'.

Evanescence's Amy Lee and violin virtuoso Lindsey Stirling have history together. The latter made a guest appearance on Evanescence's album Synthesis — which featured orchestral re-imagining of some of the band's most popular tracks — performing on one of the record's two new songs, "Hi-Lo". She shortly thereafter hit the road with the goth-metal hit-makers, a trek that saw Stirling join the band onstage for a powerhouse cover of Ozzy Osbourne's classic "No More Tears."

Now, Lee and Stirling have teamed up again, this time to reimagine Evanescence's most recent single "Wasted on You." Lee joined the violinist on her video series String Sessions for the quarantine collaboration. The Evanescence vocalist recently made a similar appearance on Lzzy Hale's YouTube show, Raise Your Horns With Lzzy Hale, for a gorgeous duet on Halestorm's "Break In." The duo also revealed plans to release a studio version of the collaboration in August that had been recorded pre-lockdown.

As for Lee and Stirling's newest collaboration, "Wasted on You" is, of course, the lead single off Evanescence's first album of original material in nine years, The Bitter Truth, which the band are planning to offer up "one piece at a time" this year. The group premiered the slow-burning cut — their first new song since Synthesis — and unveiled its DIY music video in April. The P.R. Brown-directed clip was filmed by each band member — Lee, guitarists Troy McLawhorn and Jen Majura, bassist Tim McCord and drummer Will Hunt — on their iPhones while in quarantine.

One way musicians are turning the negative of quarantine into a positive is with very cool collaborations. Amy Lee posted a really cool new version of the latest Evanescence song "Wasted on You" which she worked on with violinist Lindsey Sterling.

Take a listen below:

The track appears on their forthcoming album, The Bitter End, to be released over the next year. Listen to the original version of the song here.

Lindsey Stirling - String Sessions with Bishop Briggs

Doing things a little differently with this next episode of #StringSessions - check it out with Bishop Briggs where we perform her song "Jekyll and Hide".

Violinist Lindsey Stirling, who spoke to us last spring about starting the Upside Fund, a program where she could financially support some of her fans struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic, has opened the program to others so they could help each other.

Since April, Stirling has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars. Named after her song “The Upside,” the fund, a 501c3 nonprofit, is now open to accepting tax-deductible donations and has extended its reach to include anyone with immediate economic assistance like housing and rent, utilities, medical bills and food since the onset of the health and financial crisis, which threatens to displace many in the United States.

“I am so grateful that I’m in a place where I’m OK. My family’s OK, and I know that all my loved ones will be taken care of. Why? Because my fans have made it possible for me to be here in this spot,” she told us in April. “There’s a lot of people that are so afraid right now and that don’t know if they’re going to be OK.”
