Watch Haim’s “Hallelujah” Music Video

The theme of HAIM’s music video for “Hallelujah” can only be described as “an aloof crew of magicians performing magic tricks in gorgeous silk shift dresses,” and honestly? I’m here for it.

The trio — sisters Alana, Danielle, and Este Haim — belt out the somber tune in the video directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, which takes place on the stage of a theater in Los Angeles. “Why me, how’d I get…

Corey Haim’s Mother Names the Man She Said Sexually Assaulted Her Son

Last week we reported that former actor Dominick Brascia accused Charlie Sheen of molesting the late actor Corey Haim—but now Haim’s mother has come forward to say that her son was sexually abused by Brascia, and she saw it happen.

Judy Haim, Corey’s mother, appeared on the Dr. Oz show after the allegations hit the news to clear the air and tell her side of the story, and she dropped a…

Haim's Sophmore Release 'Something To Tell You'

Last week the soft rock group Haim released their second album Something To Tell You through record label Polydor. The 11 track album opens with radio single ‘Want You Back’, vocalist Danielle Haim’s gently crooning about a repelled love she has come to regret. Siblings Alana and Este contribute backing vocals throughout the track and the melody is a sophisticated soft rock jam sprinkled with 80’s nostalgia with fleeting bass notes propped up by a punctual percussion beat.

The second single off of Something is the prosperous ‘Little of Your Love’ with Danielle’s vocal range appropriately beckoning comparisons to Stevie Nicks. On the track ‘You Never Knew’, the juxtaposition of Fleetwood Mac reigns most familiar, with Danielle undulating her vocal range through a meadow of soft blues inspired melodies common on peak Fleetwood Mac albums.

The invisible theme tying together the thread of each track is Danielle’s regrettable mislay of a love discovered and lost.  The album, or the band’s permanent aesthetic for that matter, isn’t genre bending but era bending. Each song assembles into a glacier of 70’s soft pop, 80’s retro synth, meshed with 90’s R&B and melts into an ocean of decaying barriers and reefs of colorful satisfaction.

The Haim siblings, Danielle, Alana and Este have released an album with as much personality and charisma as their creativity would allow. The sisters have achieved the arduous task of writing music in a style that is reflective of their collective style, one that is original, authentic and bold. With all the comparisons to classic bands and contemporary fashions, the Haim girls have blended their charm into a believable and classy elegance that is pleasantly refreshing.

With only sample albums to occupy our time with, Haim has proved that their success from their debut wasn’t a fluke and their sound, although comparable to past sounds, possesses an individuality which renders itself incapable of being duplicated.
