Dua Saleh Announces 'Of Earth & Wires,' Shares Bon Iver–Backed Singles 'Flood' and 'Glow'

Two Bon Iver duets lead a rollout rooted in Minneapolis sessions with executive production by Billy Lemos.

Overview

  • The sophomore album is due May 15 on Ghostly International.
  • Justin Vernon appears on three tracks—“Flood,” “Keep Away,” and “Glow”—with videos released for the first two.
  • Album credits include Ryan Olson and Psymun, with guest features from Gaidaa and poet aja monet.
  • Saleh says the songs grew from an in-person Minneapolis session that began around a Travis Scott track, where Vernon freestyled the “Flood” hook and later retracked vocals and shaped arrangements.
  • Lyrical themes draw on grief, climate experiences in Cardiff, displacement, and reflections tied to the war in Sudan and the rise of AI.
