It has been four years since Chantal released her last album, What If It All Means Something. During the break after recording and touring that record, she firmly established herself as one of the premiere songwriters in the industry by penning hits for the likes of Avril Lavigne, Gwen Stefani and Kelly Clarkson. And, as new album displays, the experience of crafting songs to suit the personality of other artists has allowed her to take a step back and write songs, which showcase her considerable talents even more. it really is rewarding to be able to work with your best friend, Chantal reveals. It's something you can't recreate with someone that you are just starting a relationship with. It's amazing, but when people have the level of relationship where they are able to be brutally honest with each other, it hurts sometimes Some of the ghostly inhabitants of her newest release are more symbolic. Chantal wrote You Blame Yourself to address lingering memories from past hard times. I have a lot of painful memories of being confused as a teen, she says. This is a dark song for anyone who hurts where they are and feels like they need to break out. With Ghost Stories Chantal asks us to follow her to a landscape shaped by rhythm, beauty and loss. While the spirits inhabiting this realm speak with the voice of the lost and the outcast, their tales of love, war, destitution, isolation and joy demand to be heard.
