Chances is an album by Canadian singer-songwriter Jill Barber, released October 14, 2008 on Outside Music.[1]

The album was noted for marking a departure from Barber's established folk-pop style. On Chances, Barber instead works within a jazz style which was compared by fans to Doris Day and Peggy Lee.[2]

The album was recorded primarily at Blue Rodeo's Woodshed Studios in Toronto, with some string and horn arrangements recorded at the Glenn Gould Studio.[1] Three of the songs were co-written with Ron Sexsmith, and the album was produced by Toronto singer-songwriter Les Cooper.[1]

The album was named as a longlisted nominee for the 2009 Polaris Music Prize on June 15, 2009.[3]
