Produced and mixed by Jonas Verwijnen, mastered by the renowned Peter Maher, and featuring collaborations with Joonas Hakava (bass) and Austin Finamore (cello), Chapters showcases Conchis' unique style, blending introspective lyrics with powerful melodies.

Chapters opens with ‘Trees Grow Higher’, a reflection on striving for personal growth and success, but finding the opposite has happened. As such, the symbolic image of a tree, slow-growing, stationary and tranquil, emerges as the sage antithesis to our fast-paced lifestyle. The beats here tick like a clock, a reminder to the listener that all comes in time, and the layers of static electronica serenely caress this soundscape. It’s richly meditative and a powerful starting point for the album.

Next is the album’s focus track ‘Floods’, an instantly attention-grabbing and Fever Ray-esque track that takes no prisoners. Over the forceful, somewhat clashing production, Conchis warns of humanity’s destructive impact on our fragile planet. The marching rhythm brings to mind a war march while the experimental samples are metaphorical interpretations of natural disasters. Addressing these environmental concerns, Conchis reflects, “'Floods' is a song I wrote about the state of our planet and how we keep exploiting it, despite knowing the consequences. I, like so many others, worry about our legacy and the condition in which we leave this planet for future generations.”

The fourth single is ‘Cray Cray’, a song that captures the complexity of life's choices and the rawness of human emotion. It’s a deeply personal and introspective track that delves into the choices we make in life and their impact on our personal journey. She directly confronts challenges unique to her life, such as the creative boundaries one places on themselves trying to adhere to a “style”, or whether to have children or not, or how to navigate life with a chronic illness.

‘Just Not There’ opens with chant-like lines “know you want it, but it’s just not there” over sloping and clipped beats. This track takes a distinctively dark turn Conchis grapples with severe burnout and the fear and disappointment that her dreams would never come true. It’s a visceral number with harsh and discordant sounds.

With ‘Something So Shameful’, Conchis delves further into her fascination with psychology and in particular for this track the effects of toxic shame. The first half of this track is a creeping and eerily persuasive narrative that mirrors the way these negative emotions sneak their way into our psyche. As the track builds, this feeling intensifies until the 1:27 minute mark where Conchis’ stream-of-consciousness bursts fourth in an enraged rap-style.
