PUBLISHER’S PICK OF THE WEEK (By Adam Waldman)
EVANESCENCE – “Use My Voice”
In a perfect world, Amy Lee would focus on making music that exists as a unifying force beyond the political realm. With the current state of the country being far from perfect, Lee reached a breaking point that made her feel compelled to use her platform to help bring change. Because the Covid-19 pandemic has thrown a sizable monkey wrench into the upcoming election, the voting process is unclear in many places.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Lee shared…
“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. UseMyVoice.org is a neatly organized place where you can easily find out how to vote safely in your state, when to get your absentee ballot sent in by, even who the candidates are and a little about them. Our hope is to empower people with this information.”
The song itself has brought together some of the biggest female rockers on the scene today (Lzzy Hale, Taylor Momsen, Sharon den Adel are among the numerous guest stars). Like the organization (Use My Voice), the song with the same name is designed to empower people at (what may be) the most critical moment in time in United States election history.
Even if you totally disregard the message and the coordinating organization, you can still appreciate this hauntingly beautiful song for what it is.
