Chess Smith has been a commanding presence on the Kent music scene for over a decade, both as a solo artist and a frontwoman, most recently as critically acclaimed power vocalist for Salvation Jayne... until 2020, when an abuser tried to take her power, dull her shine, and break her spirit. But they didn't succeed.

Despite enduring a devastating nervous breakdown at the time, Chess has come back fighting in spectacular style with Saving Lilibet, her most personal, and relatable, work to date. She has made it her mission to provide a voice for those who have experienced abuse and toxicity, and to show the world that you can not only heal after these experiences - you can thrive.

The EP is a synth packed anthemic alt-pop journey through heartache, self-discovery, rejecting toxicity, and turning pain into power to become your most beautiful, radical, and unapologetic self - whole, healed... and saved.

"Flowers don't bloom in the dark - so blaze fiercely, believe in your strength, and become your own sunlight"

Produced by Kent wunderkind Fuji Hideout, and featuring 6 full-length tracks plus an intro, including Bounce Back, Drama King, Disassociate, and 3 NEW songs, Saving Lilibet is poised to be the 'sonically infectious' soundtrack to your summer!
