Evanescence singer Amy Lee received the “Powerhouse Award” at Friday's (Jan. 22nd) ninth annual She Rocks Awards. The event was livestreamed on Believeinmusic.TV, Parade.com and AXS.TV.
During the “red carpet” portion of the event, Lee spoke with John Stapleton from M.A.C Cosmetics about the title of the upcoming project, called The Bitter Truth. She said, “Every day I have a new thing. I'm, like, 'That's the bitter truth.' Right now, it's hard, because it's a lot of things that aren't funny or smiley to say. But I think the fact that we're facing a lot of these realities is really healthy, and we have to. There has to be a moment for us to go, 'Okay, we're broken. This is messed up, and it's not gonna change if we just keep pretending like it isn't here.' So, facing these injustices with sexism and racism and so much more that are happening around the world, it's time. And the bitter truth is that we do have to go through these growing pains and face this in order to get to a better place. So, as hard as it is, and as scary as it has been at times, I'm looking forward to a better tomorrow for not just myself but for my son, and for the people coming after us.”
The Bitter Truth will be released on March 26th.
