SONG REVIEW: HAIM - "Relationships"
What we have here is a failure to communicate.
HAIM have been writing about the difficulty of relationships since they began making music, but their direct, earnest lyricism has always ensured they’re not writing the same song over and over again. Their first single in a few years, aptly titled “Relationships”, would be too familiar if they weren’t damn good at exploring every aspect of modern love. With some punchy percussion and a carefree pop melody, the sisters muse on the difficulties of communication no matter how hard they try. Wondering whether they’re too old or too young to understand love, they approach these connection issues head on, something she finds hard to do with her partner. It’s effortless indie pop, as easy to listen to as it is hard to maintain a good relationship.
Verdict: Solid/10
