Beyonce and Jay-Z aren’t Kanye West’s only collaborators on West’s new album See Me Now, due Nov. 16. Justin Vernon of Bon Iver appears on "Lost in the World." West told Rolling Stone: that he flew Vernon to the Hawaii studio where the new disc was being cut, and had him rerecord the vocals from Bon Iver’s Auto-Tune experiment "Woods," from the Blood Bank EP. Kanye first heard "Woods" when Ed Banger Records boss Pedro Winter played West the track and talked about his plan to sample it. West asked if he could use "Woods" instead, and quickly moved to get Bon Iver in the studio. "I called [Vernon] and we ended up becoming like really good friends, playing basketball together everyday, and going into the back studio and just record his parts," West told RS. He’s similar to me, like where he just does shit just so people would be like, ‘Oh shit how did you do that? How did that happen?’ He’s just a really cool guy to be around."
