We’ve been waiting a long time for HAIM to release new music. Now, we’ve got it.
The sisters triumvirate released their newest single Relationships last week. It’s not the sound I typically associate with HAIM. The band adopts a more pop/R&B approach as opposed to that sultry SoCal soft rock sound.
As a song, it’s relatively forward: It’s about relationships.
More than that, it’s about a lot of unanswered questions surrounding their relationships after they end.
“Don’t they end up all the same
When there’s no one left to blame?”
“There’s a question.
Baby, how can I explain
When an innocent mistake
Turns into seventeen days? [Expletive] relationships”
And there’s another.
The song doesn’t quite serve to answer these questions, but instead chooses to sit in it. Which ya know, typically happens at the end of such things.
But what luck is it that HAIM released a new song right when the weather is turning, when spring is sprining. Few artists feel like warm weather and sun more than HAIM. and of course they deliver again with Relationships.
Is an album coming up next?
