Jessie and the Toy Boys' Summer Playlist
If you haven't heard of Jessie and the Toy Boys yet, you will. . . front woman Jessie Malakouti is about to blow up. No one has made mannequins look this cool since Kim Cattrall and Andrew McCarthy. (Okay, this is WAY cooler than that). Right now, J&TB is an opener on the Femme Fatale tour—Britney, Nicki, and Jessie? Those are three super fierce ladies. This month, the singer-songwriter will tour as part of the electronic music IDentity Festival with artists like Kaskade and Avicii. Jessie and the Toy Boys' debut full-length, , is due out in October. We caught up with the singer to find out the top ten songs on her summer playlist.
1/11Check out what's playing on the up-and-coming electronic popstar's iPod this summer.
2/11I love the part in the song when they go "I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike!" Classic!
3/11Growing up in So-Cal it is kind of an unwritten rule to learn every word to every Sublime song, or you suck.
4/11This song is the jam! I love to shake it like a Polaroid picture on the dance floor or at the beach whenever it comes on!
5/11I first heard this song in the summer of 1999 when the movie came out. I love Kay Hanley's voice, she is a major musical influence of mine.
6/11This is one of my favorite Britney songs! The music video is still to this day one of the hottest music videos of all time. It's amazing to be on tour with Brit and get to watch her perform this song every night!
7/11This song is so romantic. The lyrics are beautiful and make you want to fall into a sticky, sweet, summer love.
8/11This song came out in the summer of 1998 when I was a just a little kid. I didn't understand it then, but loved it anyway. The melody and the drums sucked me in. I used to blast it on my boombox to pass the time doing chores around the house.
9/11This is my 2011 summer jam. I'm really into Frank Ocean. His lyrics just connect with me. He has a great way of painting pictures through music.
10/11My best friend Wendy and I "borrowed" my mom's car and drove to Las Vegas to go see Blink in concert. It's one of my best summer memories and this song reminds me of it and makes me laugh and smile every time I hear it.
11/11A few years ago I was living in London and spending my summer weekends in Paris with a boy when this song exploded over there. We had such a fun summer dancing the night away to and making out to this track.
