The fourth studio album by the renowned HAIM sisters could very well be titled 'forget it'. It debuted with an appropriately raw yet dramatically engaging music video that highlights everything that’s being cast aside (from overthinking to toxic relationships). This heightened self-assertion has given rise to what the trio describes as “the sound they have always aimed to create,” a bold statement to essentially everything. The idea is straightforward; letting go creates room for new beginnings. However, ‘I quit’ doesn’t attempt to revolutionize the genre, as it retains most, if not all, of the signature HAIM elements: sharp wit, playful critiques, and Southern-influenced guitars blended with the warm haze of Los Angeles. By parting ways with longtime producer and Danielle Haim’s former partner, Ariel Rechtshaid (another item added to the list of things they've ‘quit’), the sisters have expanded their horizons, with a more spontaneous recording approach that encompasses everything from country-inspired pop to spoken word and thoughtful samples, alongside what can only be called their most dance-worthy tracks to date. This creates room for the exuberant nostalgia of ‘Take Me Back’, a song that vividly captures a chaotic drug-fueled event in the back of a pickup truck, and the bedroom-pop inspired rhythms of ‘Million Years’—both significantly enhancing the sounds explored on their previous album, 2020's ‘Women In Music Pt. III’. From the lighthearted melancholy of ‘Relationships’ to the final, freeing acceptance of ‘Now It’s Time,’ their ‘forget it’ mindset is unmistakable. “Now it’s time to let go,” they proclaim at the album’s peak, as a wave of rock riffs and distorted vocals highlights a trio unbound and eager to share their truth with the world.
