Her follow-up album, 'Lose Control' (2015), received critical acclaim for its gothic imagery and tight vocals. 'All About The Rock' stated it was "recommended for fans of rock, Jeff Buckley, Marillion, Country & Nick Drake. This is a hard album to categorize & pigeon hole which in this day & age of labels & boxes is a good thing".
Chantel's single 'Take The Power' was playlisted for five weeks on Planet Rock radio. She has been featured on Sky News, BBC Radio Five Live, and BBC Radio Four.
During the 2020 lockdown, Chantel released a rock cover of Lady Gaga's 'Stupid Love' and was featured on the tribute album 'Gumbo Blues for Dr. John', both through Cleopatra Records. She also collaborated with David 'Nova' Nowakowski from the band Scars on 45 on several singles. Her 'Shed Sessions' live streams
