In a move that has electrified fans across genres, rock legend Amy Lee<\/strong> of Evanescence and alt-pop powerhouse Halsey<\/strong> have officially announced their first full-length collaborative album, Embers Beneath the Dawn<\/em>. The album is set for release this fall and has already sparked major buzz with the release of its first single, the soaring and cinematic \u201cPaper Wings<\/strong>,\u201d available on all major streaming platforms today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement came via both artists\u2019 social media accounts, with coordinated visuals featuring dark celestial imagery and fiery motifs \u2014 themes that hint at the emotional and sonic intensity of the project. Embers Beneath the Dawn<\/em> is described as a \u201cgenre-defiant exploration of rebirth, feminine rage, and spiritual resilience,\u201d and it promises to blend the gothic rock power of Amy Lee with Halsey\u2019s ethereal yet edgy pop sensibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans have been speculating about a collaboration between the two since Halsey\u2019s 2021 album If I Can\u2019t Have Love, I Want Power<\/em>, which was heavily inspired by alternative and industrial rock influences. Lee\u2019s admiration for Halsey has also been well documented in interviews over the years. With Embers Beneath the Dawn<\/em>, the two artists are now fully merging their distinct voices and creative visions into something truly unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPaper Wings,\u201d the lead single, is a stirring anthem that combines cinematic strings, gritty guitars, and haunting piano with lyrics that evoke a powerful narrative of survival and self-transformation. The track builds to a thunderous climax as Lee and Halsey\u2019s vocals weave together in harmony and catharsis. It\u2019s a song about taking flight from the ashes \u2014 and it feels like the perfect prologue to the themes the album promises to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amy Lee, known for her evocative vocal range and emotional depth, called the project \u201cthe most creatively free experience I\u2019ve had in years.\u201d She added, \u201cWorking with Halsey has been like setting fire to the past and dancing in the embers. We weren\u2019t afraid to go deep, dark, and raw \u2014 and \u2018Paper Wings\u2019 is just the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halsey, meanwhile, described the album as \u201ca love letter to every girl who ever felt like she was too much.\u201d On Instagram, she wrote, \u201cThis record is about clawing your way out of the dark with blood on your hands and beauty in your eyes. Amy was my hero when I was 13 \u2014 now she\u2019s my sister in song.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embers Beneath the Dawn<\/em> was recorded over the course of 18 months in studios across Nashville, Los Angeles, and Berlin. The production credits include Nine Inch Nails\u2019 Atticus Ross, Evanescence guitarist Jen Majura, and Halsey\u2019s longtime collaborator Lido, promising a genre-bending soundscape that ranges from orchestral ballads to gritty industrial beats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visually, the album will be accompanied by a short film, also titled Embers Beneath the Dawn<\/em>, directed by Floria Sigismondi \u2014 known for her work with Marilyn Manson, Sigur R\u00f3s, and The Runaways. The film is set to premiere at select film festivals ahead of the album\u2019s release, and is said to be a surrealistic journey through loss, rage, and rebirth, featuring both artists in leading roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tracklist has yet to be revealed in full, but confirmed titles include \u201cValkyrie\u2019s Lament,\u201d \u201cCrimson Mercy,\u201d and \u201cDrown Me in the Light.\u201d The album will feature a few guest vocalists, with rumors swirling about potential appearances by Grimes and Bring Me The Horizon\u2019s Oli Sykes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music critics are already responding positively to \u201cPaper Wings,\u201d with Rolling Stone<\/em> calling it \u201ca blazing torch song for a new generation of outsiders\u201d and Pitchfork<\/em> noting its \u201cimpeccable blend of gothic drama and alt-pop hooks.\u201d The song\u2019s immediate impact on streaming platforms hints at strong commercial and critical potential for the full album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A world tour in support of the album is also in the works, with an official announcement expected later this month. Fans can expect an immersive experience that blends visuals, narrative, and sound in a way that both artists are known for individually \u2014 and are now magnifying together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Embers Beneath the Dawn<\/em>, Amy Lee and Halsey are not just releasing an album \u2014 they\u2019re creating an emotional and sonic universe. It\u2019s a bold, intimate, and defiant statement from two of music\u2019s most compelling voices, and \u201cPaper Wings\u201d is the opening chapter of what promises to be a landmark moment in alt-rock and pop history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a move that has electrified fans across genres, rock legend Amy Lee of Evanescence and alt-pop powerhouse Halsey have officially announced…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2275,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2274","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-musician"},"yoast_head":"\nAmy Lee and Halsey Announce New Collaborative Album Embers Beneath the Dawn, Release Empowering First Single \u201cPaper Wings\u201d -
