I love Fever Ray and Lorn," she notes. But her early tastes ran the gamut, from "lighter pop like A-ha, Bryan Adams, and New Kids on the Block" to grunge staples like "Alice in Chains, Pearl Stone Jam, Temple Pilots, and Nirvana." The evolution of these influences has resulted in a sound that is

Pirates panganyarna, Chapters, draws heavily on her personal experiences, blending deep emotional resonance with creative exploration. “Life, in general,” Conchis says when asked about the inspiration for the album. “I went through some hardships—burnout and then becoming ill with chronic fatigue syndrome. Before that, I had struggled with my energy levels for a long time. I’ve always been drawn to human psychology and how people act, so that’s my main inspiration.”

"I realized it was about life’s choices, like not becoming a mother and wondering if that was the right decision."

The album is not an easy listening experience. Conchis understands this, but she hopes that the listeners who connect with her music will find solace in its rawness. “I just want everyone to be real and vulnerable,” she says. “I don’t know if I have a specific message, but I hope to touch people with honesty.” This is especially true for her lead single, “Cray Cray,” a track she didn’t even pick herself. “I gave my PR firm and label free rein to choose. They picked ‘Cray Cray’ for me. It came to me easily—this crazy melody and vocal line just popped into my head. When I wrote it, I realized it was about life’s choices, like not becoming a mother and wondering if that was the right decision. It’s also about curiosity versus craziness, and how sometimes they’re the same thing.”

While Chapters is full of deeply personal reflections, certain tracks were born almost effortlessly. “'Cray Cray' was the first track I wrote since I became a solo artist, and it came very easily—almost like a stream of consciousness,” she explains. On the other hand, the track “Calm Your Mind” explores a feeling she hadn’t fully experienced yet. “It’s about being trapped inside four walls and having racing thoughts. The strange thing is, I wrote it before I actually lived through that experience during my illness.”
