Chrysalis (English version) / Désirs contraires (French version) is the second international studio album by Indonesian French singer Anggun. It was released by Columbia Records and Sony Music Entertainment in over fifteen countries in Europe and Asia, with the English version being first released in Japan on 30 August 2000 and the French version premiering in France on 2 October 2000. A major departure from her non-Indonesian debut (and fifth overall) album's world music composition, Chrysalis features electropop sounds with elements of R&B and ambient music. The album was again produced by Erick Benzi and featured some of Anggun's own compositions. She also co-wrote the entire material on the English version.
