HAIM, la banda californiana formada por las hermanas Este, Danielle y Alana Haim, ha fascinado al mundo con su deslumbrante mezcla de rock, pop y R&B desde su nacimiento en 2007. Originarias del Valle de San Fernando, crecieron en una familia profundamente musical. Sus padres, mordidos por el mismo bicho melódico, formaban parte de una banda de covers llamada Rockinhaim, y fue ahí donde las integrantes futuras de HAIM dieron sus primeros pasos en el mundo de la música.
Con la ayuda de sus padres, Este, Danielle y Alana comenzaron a experimentar con instrumentos desde muy jóvenes. Danielle se inclinó hacia la guitarra y la batería, Este tomó el bajo, y Alana se convirtió en multiinstrumentista. Sus influencias iniciales abarcaron un amplio espectro que incluía desde Joni Mitchell y Fleetwood Mac hasta TLC y Destiny's Child. Esta combinación ecléctica sentó la base para el sonido único de HAIM.
En sus primeros años, el grupo se dedicó a tocar en pequeños clubes y escenarios locales, lo que les permitió pulir su talento y ganar una base de seguidores fiel. Su primer EP, Forever, lanzado en 2012, fue un éxito rotundo, obteniendo elogios de la crítica y capturando la atención del público gracias a su estilo fresco y su energía vibrante. Las canciones “Forever”, “Better Off”, y “Go Slow” destacaron por su autenticidad y su capacidad para evocar tanto nostalgia

Alana: Go Slow-
Host: is another oldie.
Alana: Um, yeah Go Slow was the last song on the Forever EP and with that song, um we had just the track for like a year before we put any melody on it. We just had the guitar line, the "do do do do do do do do." And um, we always liked adding things to it. We had this like, full demo and just, it didn't have a melody on it and we wrote a full song over it. And kinda sounded like it didn't really seem right and it was like done. Everything, there was like a verse, chorus, everything. And then, finally we were just like "We need to just rewrite it." And we never really did that. It's really hard to have a full song and kind of be set in your ways and to realize like okay, it's not right. You have to rewrite the whole thing cuz you just keep playing the same melody in your head so it's kind of hard to get away from it. We finally just sat down and like erased everything and started over and went with like a more simpler melody-
Este: Yeah.
Alana: We were just like "It needs to have space" because the guitar line needs to have room. And then Go Slow kinda came about and that's what happened.
Host: Is it also the original recordings from the EP just remixed?
Danielle and Alana: Yeah.
Danielle: That was one of the ones that we tried to kind of mess with-
Alana: Rerecord.
Danielle: And rerecord. Again, the magic kind of disappeared once we did that so we just kind of went with the old track.
