If you like pop music to keep you on your toes, Amsterdam's Personal Trainer provide that service fulsomely on their second album. Essentially the project of Willem Smit (working w ith co-producer/ collaborator Casper van der Lans) on record and a band live, Personal Trainer showed a facility for DIY indie-pop exuberance and experiment in sync with 2022's debut, Big Love Blanket. Now signed to Bella Union, Willem returns re-energised with Still Willing, a multi-faceted album of shining contrasts and spry melodies, bursting arrangements and subliminal sounds, playful lyrics and self-refection: in short, a pop album executed with dynamism, vim and charm.
