Evanescence's Amy Lee to release children's album

Vocalist Amy Lee, of the rock band Evanescence, is gearing up to release a special 12-track LP for children called "Dream Too Much".

The album will be released as an Amazon Music exclusive on September 30 and it features songs such as a cover of "Hello, Goodbye" by The Beatles and Sesame Street's "Rubber Duckie".

During a new interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Lee explained that the project was inspired by her own son Jack as she was always singing to him, and so she asked her father if he would like to be involved and the album was born:

"Dad has always been talking about making some kid songs for Jack to have later in life. My husband suggested, 'You guys should just do it, get in the studio together, you've never been in the studio together, you're both musicians.'"

"We've been saying, even if we're the only ones who ever heard it ... it was worth it because it means so much to us as a family and we love it. So, I'm very proud of it and it was very fulfilling to be able to do that together. ... I'm always looking for ways that I can expand myself creatively and this was a surprise. This kind of came out of a very random place and a very pure place. It was just for ourselves and it turned into something really beautiful."
