‘Days Are Gone’ rocks an RnB beat, with sharp lead vocals, and jazzy synths. ‘If Could Change Your Mind’ feels like a classic pop/rock love song, with an easily recognisable lead riff that could quite easily become a classic for Radio stations. Both have their merits, and this new version is certainly a winner, but listeners may prefer the original.Įlsewhere we are treated with some newer tracks. Is this better than the original? I’ll let you decide. Fans of Haim will expect the Smiths-esque jangly guitar arpeggios, but alas, this has been abandoned for a more produced version, still with Danielle’s nifty guitar work, but also with added string synths and some auto-tuned vocals. ‘The Wire’, however, will divide listeners.

‘Let Me Go’ lacks none of the power the girls provide in their live rendition, and is full of exciting percussive work, and a strong bass line. ‘Honey and I’ feels fine tuned, and seriously improved on the bands live version, with Alana and Este providing exquisite angelic backing vocals. Fan live favourites also made an appearance on the album. ‘Don’t Save Me’ drops half way through the album, and ‘Go Slow’ nearer the end, once again reminding us of why this band made such a big impact. Haim classics ‘Falling’ and ‘Forever’ open the album, with exactly what we expected their signature Fleetwood Mac meets RnB sound. Let’s go over what we already know off this record. Full of catchy pop riffs and peppy charm, Haim don’t let the listener down.
After listening to Days Are Gone, it’s easy to see why. Having released their debut EP in June 2012 as a free download from their website, the band’s fame has risen sharply ever since, being signed to Polydor records after their first ever UK gig. Arguably one of the most anticipated albums of the year, Californian Sister Trio Haim have finally dropped their debut album upon the world.
