DESCRIPTION:
A couple of years ago I was introduced to a fantastic young writer/producer called Lester Salmins. Lester & I had 2 things in common, we were of similar age & he lived about 20 minutes away from me, which above all meant a decent lie in the morning of the session.

We worked a few times together but on our first occasion, we wrote 'Checkmate'.

The tale of a sorry King, who'd pissed off everyone around him but most importantly his Queen & was left with nothing but his crown, which he in turn chucked anyway.

'But it was a good game wasn't it babe' is the lyric that says it all, it was a bumpy road but didn't we love the heartache, pleasure & pain along the way.

A shitty vocal due to me probably having hit the sauce too much at the time, but hey, it is what it is. A pretty little ditty. 'Checkmate'.

Cheers to Lester & his awesome vibes
