Bon Iver and Alicia Keys are expected to team up for a collaboration in the near future.
Frontman Justin Vernon has revealed that he has written a collection of songs with the R&B star and would like to feature her on a project in the future.
Vernon told USA Today: "I have a big idea to do an American songbook of the greatest women singers. There are so many - Casey Dienel from White Hinterland, Bonnie Raitt and Alicia Keys."
The singer also said that he hasn't started work on the follow-up to 2011's Bon Iver and that writing the record could take years.
He added: "I don't have songs written yet. I'm guessing three years. But it could be five. It could be only one more. It just depends when the songs come about. I sort of have to wait till they reveal themselves."
Vernon launched his own label called Chigliak Records last month, which will focus on distributing lost and rare tracks.
