HAIM Find Quiet Power and Emotional Clarity on ‘Everybody’s Trying To Figure Me Out’

The latest single from HAIM, ‘Everybody’s Trying To Figure Me Out’, feels like the emotional hangover after a long summer. It's clear-headed, contemplative, and a little bruised. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t fight for your attention but drifts in gently, unfolding with soft insistence and surprising weight.

With co-writing credits from Justin Vernon and Rostam Batmanglij, the track is a striking, slow-burning detour from HAIM’s usual Laurel Canyon shimmer. Instead, this is vulnerability, bathed in dusk.

'Things I Left Behind': Journeying from Pain to Peace in Joni’s Debut Album

Singer-songwriter’s Joni’s much awaited debut album ‘Things I Left Behind’ plays like a confessional lullaby: compiled of longing, lost love, and perhaps most potently: a lack of regret about it all. 

Her soft, dreamy voice enchants the listener into a nostalgic haze as she reminisces over her past love, allowing us to join her in the experience. Gentle acoustic strums and delicate piano lines underscore her storytelling, creating a soundscape that feels both intimate and cinematic.

Joni: Natalie Portman Is To Blame

As we edge closer to its release on 11th April, anticipation is high for Joni’s new album, ‘Things I Left Behind’, which encapsulates her most tender moments throughout a period of intense change.

As part of Music Is To Blame’s What’s to Blame? series, Joni has given us a special insight into the film, people and places which helped curate her into the impassioned musician she is today.

Alex Spencer on Fame, Football and Full Circle Moments

Alex Spencer was discovered while busking, rising quickly to win recognition as one of the UK’s rising talents with his fresh mix of engaging guitar riffs, streetwise lyrics and the raw energy that connects him back to those early days spent carrying a guitar and amp around Manchester.

His 2023 debut EP, ‘One Step Forward’ was quickly followed by another, ‘There’s Gotta Be More’, leading to radio and press exposure and a gateway to a global audience - the soundtrack of the EA Sports FC25 game.

Alex has honed his performance skills quickly, playing festivals including Sound City and Neighbourhood and supporting The K’s, Jamie Webster, The Lathums, Jake Bugg, and Miles Kane.

Alex took some time out from his preparations for his upcoming UK tour to tell us about his story, his influences, his dreams and those special moments that make it all worthwhile.
