On what female musicians she was drawn to early on in lifeĪ lot of that had to do with the fact my mom was a rocker and flower child and had me at 16, so she took me to all the lawn concerts. ![]() People are going to have to start being innovative, and I don’t know what it’s going to look like, but we’re probably going to start seeing strange things we’ve never seen before and have a lot of new realities for how people approach music and connect with fans out there. Our crew is our family, and we just released a shirt where all proceeds go to them, and we ‘re trying to do other things. On how fans can support their favorite artists during the coronavirus crisis Because, everyone needs to connect through this time. I don’t really do live Instagram stuff or things like that, but I might have to push myself out of it to not be so hidden and to make sure I’m connecting with everyone. I’m trying to brainstorm some things, because I’m a really private person, and I don’t do a lot of press. In the meantime, people are coming up with innovative ways to stay connected with fans. When we’re told that we’re allowed to tour and it’s safe and we’re not putting anyone at risk, I’m praying that all the dates line up, and we can tour and see everybody can be safe together. Meanwhile, we have to be patient and pray for people and try to not go crazy in our houses!Įverything at this point is so uncertain for anybody. As soon as they can come up with something for treatment for this, we can all start going back to normal. I think they just have to come up with, even before the vaccination, something that can treat it. But, I think we’re going to get through it. The whole world is impacted by it, but definitely the bigger crowd industries - sports, musicians, concerts, all performing arts - they’re gong to be impacted really hard because of the mass gatherings. I live on the outskirts of New York, so we’re definitely in the thick of it, and it’s tragic and heartbreaking beyond words, seeing the sacrifices that people like the doctors and nurses and workers are making, I’m moved to tears almost every day. History is being made, and we’re all just watching it every day and seeing it on television. On how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the music industry I think it was the perfect song with those women coming together. I grew up on them, because my mom loved them so much. They’re both so talented and amazing, and that’s the only way we could even cover that Queen song. Sometimes you have to join superpowers! (Laughs) It was an honor to work with them. I thought it would be cool for us three to join forces and show people that we were working together, as an empowerment thing. They’re both such queens but really diverse and different from each other, and they both are the strong faces of the community right now. ![]() They’re both such powerful symbols for empowering women in this scene. I was acquaintances with Taylor and got to know her and am now her friend. On covering Queen’s “We Will Rock You” with Lzzy Hale and Taylor Momsen So, even if you were to pause the music but watch the show, what you’re visually looking at is still inspiring and evoking those things, and then when you combine them both, you get double that impact. You see it sometimes, like with Alice Cooper, you see theatrics, but I wanted to bring some performing arts where the visuals you’re seeing can evoke emotions, as well as the music. There’s something really cool about bringing performing arts and a different visual that you don’t always see in the active rock and metal world. On why In This Moment favor dramatic, theatrical shows It’s always based on your personal experiences. I’ve been experiencing some real things and loss and some sad things and some new life, That’s where I was with everything. I think everything I was going through in life and where I am in my life brought the serious tone. Sometimes in the past, I’ve been campy and have fun with certain plays on things, but this one had a more serious, empowering energy to it. We’re definitely an experimental band, and this album has a more mature sound to it. It’s a great escape with everything going on right now, and we’re always trying to experiment. On how Mother stands apart from previous In This Moment albums ![]() She discussed the new album, how the pandemic is affecting musicians, what advice she offers young women looking to get into the music world, and more.
