Foy Vance’s eighth studio album, IF, is a 16-song journey through nearly three decades of writing —
songs newly discovered, long hidden, and reimagined through the lens of who he is now.

Produced by Anderson East, the album began when Foy handed over 119 songs from across his career and simply said, “You pick it and I’ll sing it.” What emerged was not a retrospective, but a reckoning: a conversation between past and present, memory and meaning, possibility and consequence.

Inspired by the power of one small word, IF unfolds in three parts:

IF: WE explores the collective — family, community, belonging, and the ways we shape and lose ourselves in the world around us.

IF: YOU turns toward the other — love, blame, longing, forgiveness, and the limits of ever fully understanding another person.

IF: I returns to the self — the place every song ultimately begins, and the only place real change can start.

For Vance, IF is a word loaded with regret, hope, danger, promise, and transformation.
Across these three acts, it becomes the thread connecting a lifetime of songs — and the question still echoing inside them.
