Personal Trainer Share Their New Single "POPSTARB!TCH"
Personal Trainer, the project of Nashville-based singer/songwriter, Kayla Mickelsen and producer, George Seay are sharing their new single, "POPSTARB!TCH" which is out now via Acrophase Records (PWNT, nickname jos, Ginger Root). It comes as another preview of their forthcoming EP, Reflex which is out April 27th.
Blending diary-like songwriting with vintage production techniques, the sound of the duo lands the project into a bedroom-pop world, fusing lovelorn lyrics with intimate sounds drawing on a sound in a similar world to the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Remi Wolf, Caroline Polachek, etc. New single, "POPSTARB!TCH" takes from 80s-inspired pop/rock tropes defined by Blondie and The Go-Go's and pushes it through a contemporary filter, driven by a heavy bassline and scaping synths.
"POPSTARB!TCH is the third single from Personal Trainer’s “Reflex” EP coming out this spring of 2022. It’s a high energy pop anthem with a lot of attitude and an infectious beat. Lead Vocalist Kayla Mickelsen terms POPSTARB!TCH a “diss track about myself,” and has just the right amount of self-deprecation and irony while making it a relatable track for anyone who knows someone, or feels themself, suffering from imposter syndrome in the modern age. Driven by a punching kick drum and heavy bass-line, it’s balanced by wavy synths and guitars that are sure to capture your attention as an original, indie-influenced take on a pop song."
