The Haim sisters have once again released one of my favourite albums of the year, with
Something To Tell You, the follow up to their genius debut
Days Are Gone. That 2013 album spurred several superb remixes from the likes of
MK,
Cyril Hahn,
Duke Dumont and others. I fully expect this collection of tracks to tempt producers to take on the vocal talents and magical melodies of
HAIM, reworking them for the DJ decks. The first such remix comes from Michael Tucker, aka
BloodPop (and previously Blood Diamonds). While he's remixed "
Little Of Your Love" you may also be aware that he helped produce "
Want You Back," the lead single from
Something To Tell You. Stream below, and purchase

What I like most about this mix is the way
BloodPop stays true to the original, while playing with all of the elements that make
HAIM more than just a rock band or a pop trio. "
Little Of Your Love," like much of the album, showcases prolific pop production abilities from Ariel Rechtshaid and Rostam Batmanglij, which
BloodPop has zeroed in on and utilized expertly. The main melodies and vocals remain intact, while being re-birthed as a snappy synth driven singalong. The clicks, clacks and snaps of the reworked percussion work perfectly with
HAIM's unique style. However the cherry on top of this mix is
BloodPop's chords which are imbued with an astonishing amount of love. It's incredibly easy to enjoy, and I cannot wait for more mixes like this in the coming days and months.
