In addition to the three songs performed today, the group has shared ‘Now I’m In It’, ‘Hallelujah’ and, most recently, ‘Don’t Wanna’. Officially announced in May, and originally due to street in late April, Women In Music Pt. III was postponed until June, amid COVID-19. Eagerly awaited by both fans and music critics alike, the album and has been cited as one of the most anticipated titles of 2020 by the likes of Pitchfork and Vulture. Upon hearing HAIM’s initial singles, the latter outlet declared that “Danielle, Este, and Alana sound like they’re completely in the zone”.
Most recently, the trio took part in BBC Radio 1’s virtual edition of “Big Weekend”, where the sisters joined a remote line-up of performers that included Yungblud, Disclosure, Armand Van Helden and Niall Horan.
In May, meanwhile, HAIM performed ‘Don’t Wanna’ on The Late Late Show With James Corden. When asked if the band would be sad to miss out playing shows around the album, Alana shared that, “I miss [touring] so much…When we were making this record we honestly envisioned it being played live.” She added, “But when it’s safe, we’ll be there.”
