" Haim have discussed their dislike of the term &amp;quot;girlband&amp;quot;. The sisters revealed that they are insulted when people refer to them as a girlband, adding that making the distinction they are a group of women seems &amp;quot;medieval&amp;quot;.  The musicians also pointed out that they play their own instruments, setting them apart from a number of female groups. Alana told The Sunday Telegraph: &amp;quot;Growing up, there were a lot of girl artists like the Spice Girls, Aaliyah and Destiny&amp;#039;s Child. &amp;quot;But none of them really played instruments and I would always look up to Stevie Nicks and Blondie - they are dope female musicians. &amp;quot;So I just see us as a band. When people call us a girlband, I take it as an insult - being a girl in a band shouldn&amp;#039;t be a thing. It seems so medieval.&amp;quot;  The band also spoke of their admiration for Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9, with Danielle admitting she is &amp;quot;obsessed&amp;quot; with her fellow Roc Nation artist. She explained: &amp;quot;I have been obsessed with her records - she has the best writers, the best producers. She kind of curates the best people to collaborate with.&amp;quot; Last month, Haim performed a cover of the superstar&amp;#039;s hit &amp;#039;XO&amp;#039; in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. The group recently admitted to feeling &amp;quot;squeamish&amp;quot; about being compared to the likes of Fleetwood Mac. Danielle said: &amp;quot;I get squeamish when people say that. Fleetwood Mac is one of the greatest bands out there! Let&amp;#039;s start a little smaller, you know?&amp;quot; Watch the music video for Haim&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;If I Could Change Your Mind&amp;#039; below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
