Alois – Checkmate

Alois

Checkmate

Single, Digital
Released 27/01/2023

Our world today works like this: you want to checkmate your opponent before your opponent checkmates you. But why get bogged down in trivial power games when we can hear Alois' playful, youthful loops and hug each other while we dance? According to Songwriter Martin Schenker, the song lyrics deal with losing sight of the essential in conflicts and its analogy to the checkmate situation in a game of chess. The song sounds like mediterrainien longing, inspired solitude and hot nights danced through. The melodies are imaginative and still catchy, full of warm, life-affirming energies, gently imbued with deep melancholy. It's about pride and regret, about losing everything and only realizing it when it's too late. A psychedelic pop song with a strong love of the dance floor.
