Haim
 
HAIM is pretty much three sisters playing together. Este, Danielle and Alana Haim , along with drummer Dash Hutton.

HAIM's sound has been described as "nu-folk-meets-nineties-R&B" Jay-Z's manangement company signed them up so they are part of Roc Nation.

They do pop so well imo. I can't wait to hear more material from them in the future.

The Wire


Falling


My Song 5

This is not my scene at all. I will never understand how the weak-sauce of the 1980's ever got popular. The pop then (and this) was so...waif-y. It just feels like they're bored in some respects.

I thought this was some combo between Billy Joel and, I don't know, Blondie maybe? Either way, its just not for me.

Song 5 has a little more bite to it. Still, wouldn't seek it out.

Goofle 12-29-2013 05:40 PM

Yeah, this is them. I don't recall any of those as the song I liked so maybe I imagined it.

Catchy tunes but they may just be the flavor of the year. Not sure which song is their one hit wonder. They may need to adjust their dosage.

So, I'd like to amend my comments. They're growing on me.

I listened to some album full of new **** Columbia is releasing and The Wire was on it. I told myself before I put the record on that I'd listen to everything no matter how **** it was. I ended up listening to The Wire a few times.

I still think they are, for the most part, a little to airy for me. But I'm willing to give them another chance.

I only like that, "Falling", track. I didn't like them on the CuDi track, "Red Eye". Ihonestly don't know why? :(

I had no idea it was them on Red Eye. I loved that track even before knowing this but it makes me like it even more.

TheBig3 01-26-2014 07:27 AM

Thank god their sisters. That's exactly the kind of the bassist Courtney Love would try to jack under normal circumstances.

Surell 06-03-2014 01:44 PM

The Wire's a good song, and I like "If I Could Change Your Mind" a loooot, like a whole lot, I think you put it best, it's pop music at its poppiest but not in a shitty Spice Girls way. They're very 80s but they're great with a melody too, which is all I really ask for with a pop artist.

FaSho 06-03-2014 06:38 PM

they're a big part of a scene that is getting really stale, and some of the hate they get is warranted, but the wire, forever, and honey & I are just so undeniably catchy and fun

Surell 06-04-2014 12:25 PM

Yeah I hate most of the other 80s revival stuff or at least what I associate with it, but they seem like the best act and really not ALL that bad overall. I don't know how a whole album by them stands up though.

nice

Listened to Days Are Gone a few days ago. it's a really catchy album on the whole, with some great songs. Where did they go?

Currently working on their second album but I haven't heard of anything related to a release date. They are also touring. They have a few dates coming up in Austin.

Go to comic con and not get laid. or fly to Austin, eat Texas BBQ, see Haim and possibly have a three way with me. Think about it.

Getting laid isn't an issue for me. Obviously you have never been to a CC. Con sluts are a thing but my gf wouldn't be too happy with me messing around with them this year.

I will think about it though. Texas BBQ plus a gf swap.
