The World is Encouraged to Be the Additional Haim Sister.

"Do you know when you'll be chatting with the Haim sisters?" an inquiry reads. "I was hoping to ask if I can become their fourth member."

There's just a key snag: I also desires to be Haim's fourth member. And we're not alone. Multiple famous admirers have openly petitioned for the honor.

It's clear an irresistible appeal is happening. The siblings Este, Danielle and Alana started their path doing sets at local delicatessens with their family. Today, they are multi-time Grammy nominees.

Similar to the best bands, they're a close gang. Their music videos often show them marching in harmony down the avenues of Los Angeles. On stage, they perform with such boundless happiness you can't help but think, "I wish to be part of that, too."

"The amount of times on tour that audience members approached us and said, 'After your show, I got a bass'," remarks Alana, the youngest of the trio. "That's the biggest honour. It is a prize in itself. We've done our job if we can inspire young girls to form a group."

"And thus all is invited to be the next Haim sister."

Grammy Nod

The group are connecting from their homes, where they're recovering after an major tour in support of their fourth album, I Quit.

They're right now reeling from the news it's been nominated for Best Rock Album at the Grammys – with Haim the first all-woman band ever in consideration for the prize.

"I watch the nominations every year, so it almost feels like an out-of-body experience when your name is announced," says Alana. "I immediately called my sisters to say, 'Am I hearing this right or am I imagining things'?"

The weight of the honor resonates with the sisters.

"We really set out to make a rock record this time, so it's a major step," says Alana. "But we're just thankful for the women that paved the way."

Emotional Upheaval and Laughter

The record was born from a period of transition. All three sisters ended up single, and the music explores that odd transitional period where you're relieved to be free, but not quite ready to start anew.

The words track breakups and farewells. The sisters want love, but not the kind of love they've had. You can hear them determining in real time who they want to be.

"I adore way of putting it, yes," agrees Danielle. "I Quit is essentially a mantra. You have to make an effort in shutting out the criticism and saying, 'I couldn't care less what people think'."

Refinement of Music

That developed confidence called for a fresh approach – more organic and direct than any of the music the band had done before.

For Danielle, who worked on producing the album, that began with the drums.

"Percussion is such a nuanced thing, and I care so much about it," she emphasizes.

"'Journey of the drum sound' will be the subject of our biography," jokes Alana. "I always say, our albums don't start until we find the right drum sound."

Stories and Shared Laughter

The band's honesty fueled the album's promotional campaign, where the sisters shared some of their dating tales.

A former partner broke up with Este over a medical concern. Alana told a story of flying to celebrate New Year's Eve with someone, only to receive a casual gesture at midnight.

"Experiencing these heartbreaks, you just feel like there's no light," notes Alana. "Therefore to be able to laugh at those stories and have them tell you more outrageous stories, it's therapeutic."

A Secure Legacy

One can easily sense a evolution in the band. Today, Haim are more certain of their position in the rock pantheon.

They're major draws, with successful albums and an global audience.

But the band will forever be their top commitment.

"My sisters and I have been making music since I was little," shares Alana. "There is no alternative that we were supposed to do. And I'm really fortunate we've gotten here and we're still going strong."
