What artists sound like Haim?

Taylor Swift: “New Romantics” (94% feel-match); Harry Styles: “Sunflower, Vol. 6” (94% feel-match); Olivia Rodrigo: “girl i've always been” (94% feel-match). Each is that artist's single closest track to the Haim centre of gravity, so it's the least jarring way in.
How intense is Haim overall?
Across 20 measured songs, Haim averages 45/100 on our intensity scale. Individual songs vary — see the full catalog breakdown on their artist page.
How do you decide two artists are similar?
Every song is measured on 8 dimensions (intensity, dynamic range, tempo, sudden changes, texture, predictability, vocal force, fine sound detail). We compare an artist's catalogue centre of gravity to every other artist's, then weight shared mood tags. Matches cross genre and era, because the measurements don't know what genre is.
