HAIM - "Take me back" + I quit (Jun 20)

Does the last bit sample:



A perfect mid-march bop. Feels simultaneously carefree and layered, and the chorus hasn't left my head since the teaser.

I hear a bit of that, a bit of Solange ("Losing You"), a bit of Dirty Projectors, and lot of SWV "Right Here (Human Nature Radio Mix)."

Oh it's perfect isn't it? That chord on the first line of the chorus - at "when an innocent mistake" hits, is crack. Very Janet Jackson. I'm so excited for a full Rostam album.
 
Oh this absolutely knocks.

Oh, this is brilliant.

Kinda hearing shades of late 80s Hip-Hop (by way of De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest) filtered through that languid, sunkissed sound they mastered on ‘Summer Girl’.

The whole thing just innocuously breezing through its various parts as one charming whole, but ultimately all being anchored by that main hook repetition, feels like the kind of move that would trip up lesser acts but actually feels kind of masterfully done here.
