A: Taylor Swift Feat. Bon Iver
S: exile
After releasing Lover last August, Taylor Swift has returned with her eighth record Folklore less than a year later, offering a daring new vision of her artistry without a bad song in the new batch. On Exile, a Bon Iver duet, Justin Vernon’s gruff voice over soft piano notes a unexpected tone. Vernon sings of betrayal - after the first chorus, he howls in his falsetto - but the crumbling romance on display is prodded at from different angles: You never gave a warning sign, Vernon sings, then Swift replies, I gave so many signs. Swift recorded her vocals for Exile in Los Angeles, while Vernon recorded his in Fall Creek, Wisconsin; the distance is fitting, and lends a deeper layer to the affecting disconnect.
... we always walked a very thin line.
