Stevie Nicks says these musicians could have been in Fleetwood Mac
Los Angeles pop-rock group Haim got the Stevie Nicks stamp of approval, with the former Fleetwood Mac singer revealing they're collaborating on music.
Nicks gushed about the band — composed of sisters Alana, Este and Danielle Haim — during a recent interview with GQ, deeming their music as 'something that I have never heard before.'
'Coming from Mick Fleetwood's great love of their kind of percussion, for me in a way, it's like coming home,' she said of their sound. 'They could certainly all have been in Fleetwood Mac.'
The Haim sisters released their debut album, 'Days Are Gone,' in 2013 and have gradually risen to mainstream prominence after touring with pop superstar Taylor Swift on her '1989' tour in 2015, and again on her Eras Tour in 2024. They also collaborated with Swift on her song 'No Body No Crime' in 2020. Now Haim is gearing up to release its fourth album, 'I Quit,' due out June 20.
'It starts with Danielle's voice — it is just stunning,' Nicks said of the middle Haim sister. 'She's the first part of the puzzle, but then the percussion that Este and Alana wrap around her turn all of their songs into percussive masterpieces.'
Nicks went on to share that she's working with the 'Summer Girl' group on new material, adding that 'some day, when you tumble into this song, you will understand everything I have just told you.'
It is unclear if said collaboration would be for Nicks' upcoming solo project, which she said was inspired by her experiences with various men in her life.
'I'm not pulling any punches for probably the first time in my life. They are not airy-fairy songs,' she said when announcing the album at the Pollstar Awards in April. 'They're real stories of memories of mine of fantastic men.'
The untitled record will mark Nicks' first original album since 2011's 'In Your Dreams.' A release date has yet to be announced.
Nicks was meant to return to the Bay Area for a co-headlining performance with Billy Joel at Levi's Stadium in October, but the show, and the rest of Joel's scheduled concerts, were canceled due to his recent medical issues.
