Chilly Gonzales airs video for John McEnroe-dedicated song "Advantage Points"
Chilly Gonzales' video for new single "Advantage Points" - which is dedicated to Tennis superstar John McEnroe - has arrived.
The track features on the pianist's latest LP Chambers, with the video depicting a silent-movie-style duel between hapless suitors.
Speaking about the track's composition, Gonzales said: "The 'points' are staccato - clipped, insistent. I attempted musical pointillism with Wimbledon '80 as my backdrop. Try to imagine the waltzing B-section as the endorphins kicking in after a marathon - the transcendence of physical technique (using a racquet or a piano) into pure bliss. This could just as easily have been dedicated to Bobby Fischer, Glenn Gould or Michael Jackson's moonwalk. It all depends on your vantage point."
Chambers is out now; you can read our review of the album here.
