Meanwhile, Este Haim recently started a new band with Scarlett Johansson. Going by the name of The Singles, the group also consists of Holly Miranda, Kendra Morris and Julia Haltigan. A press release described their sound as “super-pop”.

“The idea was to write super-pop dance music written and performed by girls,” Johansson said of the group. “I love Grimes. And I love the Bangles. And I love the Go-Go’s. I wanted it to be like those bands: ultra pop but also a little ironic, a little in on the joke.”

The Singles released their first track ‘Candy’ via Federal Prism, the label of TV On The Radio’s Dave Sitek.

Meanwhile, Haim have said that their new album is “shaping up”. Speaking at the Grammys earlier this year, the group discussed their forthcoming record as well as the inspirations behind it. “We try to write every day, it’s shaping up,” Danielle Haim said, while Este Haim added: “We gotta flex that songwriting muscle as much as possible, we’re keeping it creative. This [The Grammys] might inspire a song, who knows?”
