Model and songwriter Chess Galea has spent the last few years making a name for herself across both worlds having modelled for the likes of Vera Wang, M&S, BERTA and Grey Goose Vodka and performed backing vocals on Jack Savoretti's on his number 1 album ‘Europiana’. Now back with more of her own music, Chess is once again demonstrating her talent and potential with the new single 'Amber Lights'.
Showcasing her ability to write music with depth and commercial appeal, 'Amber Lights' also shines a light on Chess's undeniable talent as a vocalist. A vibey R&B backdrop provides an intoxicating atmosphere on which Chess is allowed to take centre stage and deliver her effortlessly impressive pop-infused vocals.
Speaking on the new single Chess Said:
“I wrote Amber Lights with Lily Lyons, who I met through after an all women's virtual songwriting camp in March 2021 during the pandemic. She's in LA (and so is my producer Jeff) and I'm in London but despite the physical distance, we still managed to create such a vulnerable and intimate song.
Amber Lights explores the cagings of anxiety, especially social anxiety, and self-doubt. Amber Lights represent that hesitation, that getting ready to go but not quite making it, that slowing down because you don't quite have the courage or strength to be totally yourself. It's funny because the title came before the concept of the song. I was walking home from the train station one day and passed traffic lights thinking - Hmm, Amber Lights seems like a cool name for a song…” ‘Amber Lights’ is the first of a number of new singles due in the coming months and surely set to see Chess gain widespread acclaim.
