“Chess Smith has been a commanding presence on the Kent music scene for over a decade, most recently as critically acclaimed power vocalist for Salvation Jayne… until 2020, when an abuser tried to take her power. But they didn’t succeed. Despite enduring a devastating nervous breakdown at the time, Chess has rebuilt herself, become a new Mum, and is back & fighting in spectacular style with her most personal, relatable work to date. With her synth packed, anthemic alt-pop sound, colossal power vocals, and punchy, unforgiving lyrics, Chess is on a musical mission to show the world that you can not only heal after these experiences – you can thrive.”
