Haim releases 'Take Me Back' from upcoming album 'I Quit'
May 30 (UPI) -- Haim released "Take Me Back," a "nostalgic" new song from the band's forthcoming album, I Quit. Danielle Haim wrote in a post on the band's official Instagram account that she and her sisters, Alana and Este, were in a nostalgic mood when they started writing "Take Me Back." "This was a very nostalgic time for the 3 of us because we all found ourselves single for the first time since we were all in high school," Haim wrote. "We we were going out all the time, just the three of us (no boyfriends lol)." Danielle Haim said the sisters, along with producer Rostam Batmanglij and co-writer Tobias Jesso Jr., exchanged stories about their teenage years that ended up forming the verses of the song. "Long story short -- high school is insane. These stories are real. Names have been changed," the post said. "Take Me Back" is available now on YouTube and music streaming platforms. I Quit, Haim's fourth studio album, is scheduled for release June 20.

HAIM pose for their new album cover in a VERY unlikely location while sporting a WHSmith carrier bag - and fans are going wild
The all-American girl band HAIM has posed for their new album cover in a very surprising UK location. The Grammy-nominated trio, named after the surname of bandmates and sisters Alana, 33, Danielle, 36, and Este, 39, have become internationally famous for their pop-rock songwriting and instrumental skills. But the cover of their next single from their upcoming album I Quit, set to drop on Friday, depicts a location much closer to home, as far as UK fans are concerned. The artwork for the song Take Me Back features a snap of the American band on Portland Street in Manchester - with youngest sister Alana clutching a WHSmith bag. The album, set for full release on June 20, marks HAIM's first studio recording in five years, so fans were already hyped - but the randomness of the shoot has sent them over the edge. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. One user questioned on X: 'This is Manchester. Why are HAIM near Piccadilly Gardens?' Another joked: 'The new HAIM single cover taken in Manchester, like girls, why didn't we hang?' Someone else said: 'HAIM's new single cover has reminded me how much I miss Vegan Shack [restaurant in Manchester]. This is Portland Street in Manchester.' This is most certainly not the first time Manchester has featured on notable music artwork. On the cover of Oasis's iconic 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe is a now legendary house in the West Didsbury area of Manchester. And Salford Lads Club, the home of a youth group, has become a pilgrimage site for fans of The Smiths, who were pictured outside on the front of their 1986 album The Queen Is Dead. But it still caught fans unawares to see somewhere so familiar in HAIM's album art, with one commenting in confusion on X: 'HAIM single cover in Manchester with Alana clutching a WHSmith bag...?' Another said in complete shock, of the location near the city centre's Piccadilly Gardens: 'WTF were HAIM doing in Manchester?' The album, set for full release on June 20, marks HAIM's first studio recording in five years, so fans were already hyped - but the randomness of the shoot has sent them over the edge (pictured) Someone else, posting a picture of the exact place on Portland Street where the photo of the band was taken, said: 'That's... Portland Street, Manchester. 'Not the first place I'd pick for a single cover but pop off.' Fans also noted the album cover was styled after a paparazzi snap of British actors Keira Knightley and Jamie Dornan, taken in 2004. One said: 'The artwork for HAIM's new single Take Me Back was inspired by a 2004 photo of Keira Knightley and Jamie Dornan. Drops tomorrow - don't miss it.' The cover shows the three sisters walking along the street, with youngest sisters Danielle and Alana dressed exactly like the Brits in the noughties snap. The attention to detail is astonishing, with Danielle even wearing a white scarf draped over her shoulders at exactly the same angle Keira is sporting it at in the photo. It comes after three other singles the band released from their upcoming album earlier this year also took inspiration from iconic paparazzi snaps. The cover of Down To Be Wrong, for example, which debuted last month, was based on a picture of actors Jared Leto and Scarlett Johansson kissing - while he distractedly tried to look at his mobile flip phone at the same time. The director of the cover shoot, Terrence O'Connor, spoke out on X (pictured) about the process of bringing the album art to life They are set to return to Manchester later this year, for a huge show at the Co-Op Live stadium in October, while on tour. Pictured: HAIM at the Grammy Awards in 2021 But in a first for the band's marketing for this album, the inspiration behind the cover for Take Me Back is uniquely British. And in a pleasing Easter egg moment for HAIM fans familiar with Manchester, well-known spots like restaurant Don Tacos and One Piccadilly Gardens offices are visible in the cover photo, the Manchester Evening News reports. The director of the shoot, Terrence O'Connor, spoke out on X about the process of bringing the album art to life. The photographer, known for his long-time collaboration with British singer Charli XCX, said: 'Take me back to me and D buying out the Manchester Victoria's Secret and shooting this two hours later lol. 'Artwork by me for Take Me Back by HAIM. Styled by us chaotically the morning of as always. A perfect song for my/your nostalgia addiction out Friday!' HAIM's single release will come after their hit performance at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Liverpool last weekend. And they are set to return to Manchester later this year, for a huge show at the Co-Op Live stadium in October, while on tour.

Power outage hits Cannes Festival and disrupts traffic in south-east France
About 160,000 households in the Alpes-Maritimes department lost electricity after a high-voltage line fell on Saturday morning, electricity network operator RTE said on X. The outage came hours after a fire at an electrical substation near Cannes overnight had already weakened the grid. Cannes Film Festival organisers confirmed the outage affected the early activities of Saturday and said the Palais des Festivals – the Croisette's main venue — had switched to an independent power supply. Este Haim and Danielle Haim at the premiere of the film The Mastermind (Invision/AP) 'All scheduled events and screenings, including the Closing Ceremony, will proceed as planned and under normal conditions,' the statement said. 'At this stage, the cause of the outage has not yet been identified. Restoration efforts are underway.' Screenings at the Cineum, one of the festival's satellite venues, were briefly suspended, the festival added. Traffic lights in parts of Cannes and the surrounding city of Antibes stopped working after 10am, leading to traffic jams and confusion in city centres. Most shops along the Croisette remained closed, and local food kiosks were only accepting cash. Train services in Cannes were also disrupted. Authorities said restoration efforts are ongoing and urged residents to remain cautious during travel.
