In case you didn\u2019t know, HAIM, the iconic sister indie rock\/pop trio, released a version of their song \u201cGasoline\u201d featuring Taylor Swift (the long-lost fourth Haim sister) last week. So maybe you don\u2019t know who Este, Danielle and Alana Haim are; they may not be as \u201ciconic\u201d as I say they are. However, you are truly missing out if you have not been listening to the sisters, especially after their last album release, \u201cWomen in Music Part III.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Obviously, I love HAIM. Not only is their music totally rock & roll, but their strong female presence in the music industry is inspiring. The sisters embrace both their feminine and masculine energies (not in a hippie dippy zodiac kinda way) in their music and their overall style and aesthetic. While they receive hate and criticism for the faces they make while playing, going braless on stage, their voices and anything else one can imagine women are critiqued over, HAIM embraces the negativity, turning it into positivity and fuel to prove people wrong. To summarize, HAIM is all about female empowerment and strong, independent women, especially in an industry lorded over by men.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When I heard HAIM was collaborating with Taylor Swift once again (after they worked on the song \u201cno body, no crime\u201d on T-Swizzle\u2019s most recent album), I was thrilled. I haven\u2019t always been the biggest fan of Taylor, but over the past couple of years I\u2019ve come to really respect her for always speaking up for herself and others. Additionally, she has become one of the most prominent female voices in music, being inspiringly unapologetic for her successes. This collaboration meant four badass women in music were working together to produce art. The Rosie the Riveter inside of me jumped for joy at the thought.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides the feminism being portrayed in this collaboration, the diversity of the song compared to T-Swizzle\u2019s normal stuff was immaculate. When she first came in with the \u201cI GET SAD\u201d I barely even recognized her voice! The HAIM sisters typically dabble in \u201c70s rock, 80s synth pop, and R&B from the 90s\u201d (Spotify), whereas Swift has done country rock, pop and folksy pop, so you could say it was a little different to what she\u2019s used to. Despite the differences in genres, the crossover was exciting and pleasing to the ear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If my high praises haven\u2019t been enough for you to stop what you\u2019re doing and listen to the collab, I don\u2019t know what else I can say. While you\u2019re at it, you might as well just listen to HAIM\u2019s entire discography \u2014 you won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
