Halsey & Evanescence’s Amy Lee Unite on New Song ‘Hand That Feeds’ for ‘Ballerina’ Movie
Halsey and Amy Lee of Evanescence are feeding fans well this week, serving up new collaboration “Hand That Feeds” for new movie Ballerina on Friday (May 9).
Haunting and cinematic, the track matches the intensity of the June-slated film as the two musicians harmonize with one another. “Too late ’cause you know you can’t turn around and bite the hand that feeds,” they sing over eerie piano and siren-like drones, as first heard by fans in a snippet sent out by the “Without Me” musician in a text blast a few days prior.
Starring Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina is set to hit theaters June 6. According to a description, the flick will take place during the events of 2019’s John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, following the Cuban-Spanish actress’ character Eve Macarro as she begins her training as an assassin in Russia.
The “Hand That Feeds” duo first announced that the collaboration was in the works just three days prior to its release, simply sharing a promotional photo — featuring Halsey and the “My Immortal” vocalist reaching for each other across a platform on a dimly lit stage — in a joint post on Instagram. The team-up is a long time coming considering the “Closer” artist’s almost lifelong fandom of Evanescence, which manifested in Halsey cosplaying Lee during the rollout of 2024 album The Great Impersonator.
“Yes, I am freaking out about it,” Halsey wrote of collaborating with her idol in a recent text message to fans.
“Hand That Feeds” marks the About-Face Beauty founder’s first release since February’s “Safeword.” Evanescence last dropped music in March, releasing “Afterlife” for the Netflix series Devil May Cry.
