HAIM called into the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge yesterday to finish the job Lil Nas X started on his track Panini.
Bringing the comparisons (or samples) right to the front, the Haim sisters put Nirvana‘s In Bloom on the outro after earlier performing their own recent single Summer Girl. “I started the song when I found out my partner had cancer,” Danielle Haim has said of Summer Girl.
“I was on tour and felt like I was trying to send positive energy his way almost telepathically. Whenever I would come home in between shows I wanted to be his sunshine – his summer when he was feeling dark. His hope when he was feeling hopeless.”
The single was their first slice of new music since 2017’s second studio album Something To Tell You, and they were active last month too on Warm as one of the many Charli XCX collaborators.
