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.

Chrysalis debuted at number 66 on Billboard's European Top 100 Albums chart. It became Anggun's second top-ten album in Italy and was certified Gold one week after its release. In Indonesia, Chrysalis received quadruple Platinum certification. Désirs contraires peaked at number 48 on the French Albums Chart and has sold about 30,000 copies in France. The album received Platinum Export for its commercial success outside France. Singles released were " Still Reminds Me" and "Chrysalis" from Chrysalis, and " Un geste d'amour" and " Derrière la porte" from Désirs contraires. To promote the record, Anggun embarked on a tour across Asia and Europe, including her first concert at the Bataclan in Paris, on 1 February 2001.^[3]

The track "Tu nages" was covered by Celine Dion on her 2003 French album, 1 fille & 4 types, which was also produced by Erick Benzi.

It also became Anggun's best-selling international album in Indonesia to date, with four Platinum certifications.^[5]^[6] Critically, the album received a positive response from music critics. Brittany Jerlinga, in a review for Pulse! magazine, called Chrysalis "brilliant" and wrote that its songs are "soulful, strong and heart-felt."^[7]
