Today, Chalumeau, the powerhouse musical duo led by Katherine Bergeron and Butch Rovan, releases their highly anticipated new single “Lies“, an electrifying track that tackles the manipulative forces behind toxic relationships and public deception. Combining blues, jazz, and cinematic noir influences, “Lies” is an unapologetic anthem about betrayal and the wreckage caused by falsehoods.

With its gritty, blues-infused groove and a punchy horn section, “Lies” doesn’t just reflect on personal heartbreak—it calls out the liars who distort the truth and leave a trail of destruction. The track’s compelling melody, built on a sly descending bass line, serves as the perfect vehicle for its sharp, no-holds-barred lyrics.

Katherine Bergeron explains: “‘Lies’s is about the ways we are manipulated in our lives and our loves; about people who are willing to believe anything; and the ones who take advantage.“

The track’s production, helmed by Butch Rovan, brings a cinematic, film noir-inspired atmosphere to the song, with a bold big band arrangement that evokes a smoky, mysterious vibe. The powerful official lyric video takes this theme even further, using visuals inspired by Citizen Kane to explore the influence of the press and public opinion in the age of deception.

This marks another milestone in Chalumeau’s hands-on approach to music-making—Katherine and Butch wrote, performed, arranged, recorded, mixed, and mastered the entire track in their home studio. The duo’s total control over every element ensures “Lies” is a deeply personal and potent musical statement.
