Justin Vernon Previews New Bon Iver Album and Reflects on Star-Studded Collaborations

On The Tonight Show, Vernon shared insights into 'sABLE, fABLE,' his admiration for Bonnie Raitt, and his work with Taylor Swift and Charli XCX.

Bon Iver's fifth studio album, 'sABLE, fABLE,' is set for release on April 11, 2025, continuing themes from the 2024 'SABLE' EP while exploring new emotional and creative dimensions.
Justin Vernon described the album as a two-part narrative: the first half reflecting on past struggles and the second embracing happiness and renewal.
During his Tonight Show appearance, Vernon highlighted his collaboration with Charli XCX on her 'Brat' remix album, which included a Bonnie Raitt sample suggested by Danielle Haim and personally approved by Raitt.
Vernon expressed awe at watching videos of Taylor Swift fans singing 'Exile' during her Eras Tour, calling the experience 'out-of-body' and reflecting on their prior collaboration.
The album features pre-released tracks like 'If Only I Could Wait,' a collaboration with Danielle Haim, further showcasing Vernon's focus on artistic partnerships.
