Haim: I Quit

On the I Quit album opener, “Gone” kicks off with a strumming guitar then an angelic voice begins, “Can I have your attention, please?” Four bars in, she sings, “I’ll do whatever I want / I’ll see who I wanna see / I’ll fuck off whenever I want.” She definitely got my attention there. The track progresses from soft rock into an electric, propulsive production with soaring guitar solo. Haim is a trio rock band with the Haim’s sisters Danielle, Alana, and Este and they a thing or two about “Relationships.” Don’t let their sweet voices and the the bouncy beat fool you, “I think I’m in love, but I can’t stand fuckin’ relationships.” The album closes out with “Now It’s Time.” Over the hip-hop back beat, Danielle sings softly, “You never said the things that I wanna hear / You don’t even understand why I’m still here.” By the end, the hiphop-rock beat takes over and she leaves listeners with, “Am I reaching out to say / I never gave two fucks anyway?” I enjoyed the f-bombs they dropped on this album.
