Overview

  • Haim released their fourth album ‘I Quit’ on June 20, marking the first time the sisters wrote and recorded together while all three are single.
  • The record is their first collaboration with producer Rostam Batmanglij after lead singer Danielle Haim ended a long-term partnership with Ariel Rechtshaid.
  • Named to reflect a refusal to adhere to personal or musical constraints, the album underscores themes of self-discovery and empowerment.
  • Songs span country-pop, jazz-tinged funk and hip-hop beats, with opening track “Gone” sampling George Michael’s “Freedom! ’90” and featuring a Danielle Haim guitar solo.
  • Critics have praised the band’s bold genre-hopping and candid storytelling, and Haim will support the release with festival appearances and a North American tour beginning September 4.
