In the last few years, Chappell was signed to and subsequently dropped by a major label, meeting her creative collaborator Dan Nigro (Olivia Rodrigo, Conan Gray) along the way. Over the past year she has built an unapologetically honest world and released several singles independently, creating a core, cult-like fanbase. She’s earned the year she has ahead of her and today’s release of “Kaleidoscope” marks the start of this new chapter. “Kaleidoscope,” her first official release under Amusement/Island Records, is an important piece of her artistic puzzle. Discussing the song and why she’s releasing it now, Chappell says, “Realizing I was in love with my best friend was the most dangerous moment of my life, but also the most beautiful. To move from platonic to romantic feelings is always a risk. As my love for them changes, it’s always love no matter which way you look at it.”
