EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee has once again spoken about how the band's original record label Wind Up threatened not to release the group's debut album, 'Fallen', if she and her bandmates didn't add a male voice to lead single 'Bring Me To Life' to make it more palatable for radio.

The album version of 'Bring Me To Life' — which featured guest vocals from Paul McCoy of 12 STONES — reached No.

5 on the U.S.

Billboard Hot 100 and was EVANESCENCE's first U.K.

No.

1 single.

It was included on the soundtrack of superhero film 'Daredevil', which helped propel sales.

Regarding why 'Bring Me To Life' featured a male vocal, Lee said, "Yeah, it was a label thing.

Our music was never that.

But we were coming up in a time where what was happening, what was trending was nu metal, which was dude driven.

It was all guys.

And then we had this sound that had similarities to that, obviously, in our music, but not with the vocal.

And to me, honestly, that's what made it special.

One of the things about it that made it special was the fact that it didn't sound like that in the vocal.

It was a female voice for a change." She continued: "My biggest fear was that we were gonna be a one-hit wonder, that people are gonna hear that one song that was different from everything else that we were ever gonna do next, and then they...

It's like a 'bait and switch'.

Then they would hear the rest of our music and be, like, 'Oh, this is not what I thought it was.' Like, 'You lied.' And they were, like, 'We'll do our best.'"
