Praise for Haim’s Sound
Stevie Nicks, known for her work with Fleetwood Mac, recently shared her admiration for the Los Angeles-based band Haim. The group, made up of sisters Danielle, Alana, and Este Haim, received strong praise from Nicks, who said they could have easily fit into Fleetwood Mac.
“It starts with Danielle’s voice,” Nicks told GQ. “It is just stunning. She’s the first part of the puzzle, but then the percussion that Este and Alana wrap around her turn all of their songs into percussive masterpieces. [They are] something that I have never heard before. But coming from Mick Fleetwood’s great love of their kind of percussion, for me in a way, it’s like coming home. They could certainly all have been in Fleetwood Mac.”

Hints at New Music Together
Nicks also revealed that she’s been working on a song with the Haim sisters. She didn’t say when it would be released, but she left fans with a bit of mystery and excitement. “Some day, when you tumble into this song,” she said, “you will understand everything I have just told you.”
In the same GQ article, Haim discussed their upcoming fourth album I Quit and addressed the doubts they face in the music world. Este pointed out how some men question their live performances by accusing them of faking it.
Pushing Back Against Doubt
“It’s always a guy,” Este said, frustrated by those who think the band is pretending onstage. Danielle added, “It’s like, my dog, we’re playing with wireless. Are you a fucking idiot?”

New Releases and Reissues
Recently, it was announced that Nicks’ solo album Bella Donna from 1981 will be reissued as a special vinyl through Rhino Hi-Fi. Only 5000 copies will be sold worldwide. “What I wanted my whole life was to do this album,” Nicks said. “Making Bella Donna really saved my life.”
Haim’s new single, “Take Me Back,” is out now. Their full album I Quit will be released on June 20.
