In an unexpected yet electrifying union, Halsey and Amy Lee of Evanescence have released their brand new single, “Hand That Feeds”, a haunting ballad that showcases both artists’ dynamic vocal ranges. Released on Friday, May 9th, the song marks a significant moment for fans of both artists and offers a fresh yet nostalgic sound, merging Halsey’s modern pop sensibilities with Lee’s signature gothic rock influence.

The collaboration between Halsey and Lee comes as no surprise to those who have followed their mutual admiration. Both have openly expressed their respect for each other’s artistry over the years. Halsey, who grew up listening to Evanescence, shared her excitement on Instagram, saying:

“I’ve been a fan of @amylee since I was 11 years old. [She] and Evanescence created a window for me that allowed my feelings to seem important… Getting to create alongside her on ‘HAND THAT FEEDS’ is one of the most surreal moments of my life.”

Amy Lee echoed this sentiment, expressing how thrilled she was to finally bring the collaboration to life:

“We’ve been fans of each other’s work for a long time, and it really feels like the universe pulled us together for this moment.”

The track is part of the “From the World of John Wick: Ballerina” soundtrack, perfectly matching the dark, intense atmosphere of the cinematic universe. With the film starring Ana de Armas as the titular ballerina, the song adds a haunting emotional layer to the storyline.

Produced by Jordan Fish—known for his previous work with Bring Me The Horizon—the track also features writing credits from Halsey, Amy Lee, Jordan Fish, Michael Pollack, and Griff Clawson. Fish’s expertise in blending rock with electronic elements shines through, creating a moody, cinematic soundscape that complements both Halsey’s and Lee’s powerful vocals.

Fans won’t have to wait long to experience the song live. Evanescence is set to join Halsey at the Hollywood Bowl on Wednesday, May 14th, where they will perform “Hand That Feeds” live for the first time. This special performance is part of Halsey’s For My Last Trick tour, which kicks off on May 10th in Concord, California, and spans 32 dates across North America.

“Hand That Feeds” is more than just a collaboration; it’s a melding of worlds where alternative rock meets pop vulnerability. Both artists convey raw, emotive power, and their harmonies strike a perfect balance, making the track a bold anthem of resilience and connection.

As Halsey embarks on her tour and fans eagerly await the song’s first live performance, this single stands as a powerful reminder of the transformative nature of music and collaboration.
