Evanescence — “Bring Me To Life”
About this episode
The episode discusses Evanescence's 'Bring Me To Life' and its impact on the emo rock scene, featuring insights from guest Brittany Spanos.
Although this podcast has continuously shown that we cheer for the underdog, every now and then we must tip our cap to the suits and head honchos. When Evanescence’s record label insisted that Amy Lee sing alongside a rapper on their song, “Bring Me To Life,” their seemingly cringey idea only accentuated Lee’s angsty vocals and became a multigenerational anthem. Later, Rob is joined by Brittany Spanos to discuss what it meant to have such a feminine singer enter the male dominated emo rock scene.
