Alcie Bela Shares New Single ‘Checkmate’

British indie-folk singer and songwriter Alcie Bela has just shared her brand new single Checkmate, a warm and emotive piece of music taken from her debut EP, Botanical Imaginations, out today! 

 

I am really enjoying her passionate vocal delivery which instantly captures our attention and beautifully conveys the emotion of each and every single word she is singing. Checkmate is a self-recorded, self-produced song about a man on the run, leaving everything he had behind him, and his time has began to run thin. Alcie's vocals are definitely the star of this song as they are packed with so much raw emotion, soaring effortlessly over the infectious melodies packed with intricate guitar riffs nicely paired with steady drum patterns that perfectly match the power and emotion of her vocals. Have a listen to this gem below!
