23 Sep
Summary
- Haim's debut blends soft rock, R&B, and pop-rock influences.
- The sisters previously performed as part of a tween-pop group called Valli Girls.
- The album 'Days Are Gone' showcases tight musicianship and infectious hooks.
The sister trio Haim has released their outstanding full-length debut, 'Days Are Gone,' which arrives as their signature blend of influences is highly fashionable. Drawing from soft rock, R&B, and pop-rock, the album reflects a lifetime of musical performance rather than opportunism.
Previously members of the tween-pop group Valli Girls, sisters Danielle and Este Haim formed Haim in 2006. Their musical journey is now unfolding on 'Days Are Gone,' an album noted for its tight musicianship and infectious hooks. Producers James Ford and Ariel Rechtshaid contributed to the sleek arrangements.
The album's polished sound has drawn comparisons to Fleetwood Mac, while also channeling contemporary peers like Phoenix and Arctic Monkeys. The clarity of the mix allows the many indelible hooks to shine, from the R&B-infused "If I Could Change Your Mind" to the melancholic closer "Running If You Call My Name."
