Pip Blom teams up with Personal Trainer on new track "Kiss Me By Candlelight"

Blom’s partner and vocalist of fellow Dutch indie band Personal Trainer, Willem Smit, features on "Kiss Me By Candlelight" which is lifted from an unreleased project from the pair.

"Long before Willem and I started seeing each other we had written a song together. We were 16 and barely knew one another. It was uncomfortable and we were both really shy. but I've always really really liked the track," says Blom. "Over the years we've been writing stuff on and off. It wasn't always easy cause both have very different ways of working and aren't really used to writing with someone else, but we've managed to write some of my favourite songs together," she continues.

"It's funny how there are always parts in the tracks that we've made together that are written for the other person. Melodies, sounds or rhythms, you know what the other person likes, and want them to like what you write," she says. "So when Dave (McCraken, the album's producer) asked me if I'd ever thought about writing a track with Willem I didn't have to think long. "Kiss Me By the Candlelight" was a song we had written not that long ago. It was a perfect fit for the album. It's danceable, a bit quirky, and a perfect blend of the two of us".

"Kiss Me By Candlelight" follows the album's lead single "Is This Love?", which features Franz Ferdinand’s Alex Kapranos.
