It’s also why I was so into going crazy with the music video. The visual is a whole other dimension that can be part of it.”The singer also shared that she’s been working with Evanescence toward a new album of late. “We are happily, deeply in the creative process on the new album and a couple of other side things like this,” she shared, before adding, “I’m very excited about ‘Afterlife,’ it was our first time to get back in the studio recording since The Bitter Truth.
