Rebecca Foon Announces New Album Black Butterflies,
Shares First Single & Video “In a Time of Truth”

Dream pop-infused album out October 24, 2025 

August 13, 2025 – Acclaimed cellist, composer, producer, and environmental activist Rebecca Foon announces her luminous new album Black Butterflies, out October 24, 2025, via Envision Records. Today, Foon shares the first single, “In a Time of Truth”, alongside a starkly beautiful video directed by Kaveh Nabatian.

Black Butterflies is Foon’s most dream pop-infused work to date: an intimate and immersive journey recorded in her barn in the Laurentians and co-produced with longtime collaborator Jace Lasek. The album drifts between shadow and light, weaving cello, piano, bass, minimalist beats, and Foon’s haunting vocals with the expressive violin of her sister Aliayta Foon-Dancoes. Guest appearances from Patrick Watson (vocals, piano), bassist Mishka Stein, drummer Andrew Barr, beat maker Sankara Atsilut, and vibraphonist Bruce Cawdron bring rich texture to the album’s atmospheric core.

Throughout Black Butterflies, Foon explores the tender terrain of love, loss, climate anxiety, and the deep spiritual search for meaning. The songs honour grief and beauty in equal measure — a meditation on vulnerability and resilience in an age of uncertainty and conflict. As Foon describes, “The album is about quiet resilience — the strength to feel deeply, the courage to heal, and the belief that something beautiful can still take flight.”

Available now, “In a Time of Truth” is a cinematic, meditative piece tracing the inner journey of letting go of inner walls and finding unexpected strength in openness. Foon’s ethereal vocals float over lush strings and minimalist beats, with her cello and Aliayta’s violin weaving a spacious, immersive soundscape. The refrain — “If we listen” — resonates as both plea and promise, calling us toward empathy, presence, and renewal.

The accompanying video, directed by Kaveh Nabatian and shot in striking black and white by Simran Dewan, features the magnetic performance of dancer Léa Noblet Di Ziranaldi. At its center, a moving mirror becomes both object and metaphor, reflecting the dancer’s transformation and the quiet power that emerges from being fully seen. Minimalist yet emotionally charged, the visual mirrors the song’s invitation to listen — to ourselves, to one another, and to the world in flux.
