Album of the Week: Something to Tell You by HAIM

Four years after releasing their impressive debut album Days Are Gone, HAIM are back with their long-awaited sophomore project, Something to Tell You, out now via Polydor.

The three Angeleno sisters Este, Danielle, and Alana have kept their distinctive, classic rock sound—inherited from the cover band they fronted in the early days together with their parents—smoothed out by the perfect production of longtime collaborator Ariel Rechtshaid, with help from Rostam Batmanglij. The result is an irresistible mix of great songwriting and rock and roll, nodding to Stevie Nicks’s best moments, and contemporary pop, with soft layered vocals and R&B vibes. It’s the perfect soundtrack for midsummer car rides to sunny beaches.
