Архив новостей | Русская версия
Grammy Award-winning rock band EVANESCENCE and alt-rock visionary K.Flay have released the video for their new song "Fight Like A Girl". The track plays over the end credits of "Ballerina", the latest film set in the world of "John Wick", now playing in theatres and available on PVOD.
Directed by Chad Stahelski, director of the "John Wick" films and producer of "Ballerina", the music video is filled with plenty of its own action. Themes of vengeance, resilience, and female empowerment from the film are felt in full force in Stahelski's first music video to date as Amy, K.Flay and the band perform in a dark "John Wick"-style world that mirrors scenes from "Ballerina". The intensity only heightens as the set catches fire and rain comes pouring down, summoning elements from the epic climax of the film.
"'Ballerina' has been an incredible ride that pushed me to team up with some of my heroes in both music and film," EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee said. "Along the way the project just kept getting bigger and better, and when it was time to talk about a video for 'Fight Like A Girl', I was dead set on it being Chad. I just refused to shut up about it until it happened! We had so much fun making this, and Chad was a dream to work with. We are all absolutely thrilled to share what we made together."
Chad Stahelski added: "When we finished making 'Ballerina', we knew we wanted to end the film with a song that personified the tone and energy of 'John Wick' but with its own identity. After talking with our composer Tyler Bates, we knew who we wanted… Amy Lee and EVANESCENCE. They delivered one of the best main on-end songs ever, a song that captures the film's character and leaves the audience smiling as they leave the theater. To be part of the journey and to be able to work with the band on their music video was one of the best, and certainly one of the most fun, experiences of my career."
Since its release, "Ballerina" has taken in over $130 million worldwide. Taking place during the events of "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum", "Ballerina" follows Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma. "Ballerina", starring Ana de Armas, Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Lance Reddick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Norman Reedus, with Ian McShane and Keanu Reeves, is directed by Len Wiseman, written by Shay Hatten, based on characters by Derek Kolstad, and produced by Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee and Chad Stahelski.
EVANESCENCE will kick off a run of live shows later this year, including "My Chemical Romance: The Black Parade" tour and Louder Than Life festival before joining METALLICA on their "M72" world tour.
Co-written by Lee, K.Flay, Dylan Eiland and "Ballerina" film composer Tyler Bates, who also produced the track, "Fight Like A Girl" followed the release of Halsey and Lee's thunderous track "Hand That Feeds", the first original song recently revealed from the film in early May.
"Tyler calling me up to create this song for 'Ballerina' couldn't have come at a more perfect time, I know I'm not the only girl out there ready to dig my heels in and show the world what we're made of," said Lee. "I really wanted this song to be a collab, and K.Flay is one of my favorite artists. It is literally a dream come true to do this together!"
"Amy sent me the demo and I was immediately so energized, so inspired," said K.Flay. "I was on tour at the time, and I wrote my verse backstage after a show, when my adrenaline was still super high. For me, the film and the song are both about how we channel our pain and how we choose to define ourselves. What separates the hero from the villain?"
