HAIM's music blends family harmonies with candid lyrics about modern womanhood.
For a quick sense of their lane, put on 'Forever' and 'The Steps.' One's all youthful urgency, the other a wry shrug about communication breakdowns, both unmistakably HAIM.
Their songs feel like conversations between sisters, direct, a little messy, and completely lived-in. 'Forever' from their 2013 debut captures that early energy, all driving rhythm and unpolished yearning. Later tracks like 'Strong Enough' with Lorde on 'Women in Music Pt. III' lean into more layered production while keeping the lyrics grounded in real frustration and resilience.
They started playing together as kids in Los Angeles, influenced by their musician parents. The 2013 debut 'Days Are Gone' introduced their guitar-driven sound, and by 2020's 'Women in Music Pt. III,' the writing had grown more textured and self-assured.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
